Tsunami Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Distin is so over-rated, really error prone imo. 100% agree - Distin was Bramble before Bramble............... I can not wait to see a Pompey centre half pairing of Distin & Shambles - hilarious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 At least Hyppia might give us a goalscoring option from set pieces. Ah bliss... not had that in a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Out of interest, how many games did Distin play at centre-half for us? Most of the time he was left-back. Comparing him to Bramble is a big heap of sh*te imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC06 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The fact that he rejected is wouldnt be the end of the world. Sign Ben Haim and Campbell and we will need only a decent LB to fix some of our defence problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Distin would have been a good signing in that he's good enough for the first-team at centre-back, and would also have been decent cover to a new left-back that we sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Bollocks to Distin TBH. Campbell and Hypia are still maintaining a higher standard of defending than Distin has ever played in my eyes. The positives that Distin has is that he is free, quicker and younger. He doesn't have any more experiance. At the moment all i would care about is getting Ben Haim through the doors. That is crucial in my eyes. After that either one of Hyypia of Campbell as a mentor fro Taylor would be fantastic. Then as NUFCO6 says a left back and we would be sorted. I'd get silvestre TBH.

Completely agree with you. Distin never played at that high level which Campbell and Hyypia did. I think if we sign one of them and Ben Haim would be perfect for us like you said. Distin would be some sort of risk while players like Campbell and Hyypia are proven Premiership defenders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Distin's much much better than what we've just let go. He's no worldbeater but he could have come in and been solid enough. But if the bloke's chosen Portsmouth then that's up to him. Hardly the end of the world is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 distin is just as bad as bramble I remember seeing a few fuck ups from him and think we should not go back. We need centre halves with class and composure now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NUFCnutter Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think Distin would be a very good partner for Taylor. Does Stevie Taylor not have a girlfriend like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think Distin would be a very good partner for Taylor. but if the rumours are to be true he puts portsmouth in a higher regard to ourselves so I think campbell or even hypia would be a better option, although if the main reason for campbell sighting a move is the whole GF thing does that mean if that goes tits up he will want to transfer back down south?

brummie Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Talking of overpaid defenders, I was listening to a local sports phone-in down here, and the presenter was talking about the rumoured interest of Birmingham's least evolved football club, Birmingham City, in the legend they know as Lord Titus of Bramble. Presenter said the main sticking point would be his wages, rumoured to be *67k* a week at Newcastle. Now, said presenter is known around these parts as being a moron, so he could have got it wrong, but even so, had I been drinking at the time, I'd have expelled it at high speed through my nostrils. That can't be right, can it? 67k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what perturbed me most, the fact that Bramble could be on that kind of money, or the fleeting thought that I actually believed it briefly.

fredbob Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Why does everyone rate hyypia? I know he was a good defender but i think he's way past it now, i honestly think he's a slightly better moore. Plus he's too similar type of defender to taylor which in my opinion wouldn't make a good partnership. We defo need a Campbell type defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
