Distin signs for Bournemouth

Recommended Posts

Probably too old to be much more than a squad player, but good experience to have in the dressing room. Don''t think he was what we need to be fair, but interesting to see the signings the other promoted clubs are making.

Always thought that on his day, he was one of the best C/Hs I''ve seen in the Prem, but that day was at least 8 years ago

Perhaps if Elliott Ward ups his game, he could keep him out of the team (Is Elliott still at Ballmouth?)

Our record of picking up old centre half has been exemplary over the years hasn''t it!!

Anyone remember Steve Walsh, Thomas Helveg and Dejan Stefanovic?!?

Anyone who genuinely believes this is the kind of player we should looking to get in is clearly in a wind up

Unprecedented PL experience and knowledge, a good squad player and would be able to give advice to the younger lads at the squad, including AN, who as you well know has never managed a single game at premier league level.

Helveg was another player that wasn''t given a proper chance in order to condition himself for the PL, regardless of his obvious quality. All most fans remember him for is a clumsy challenge he did on giggs when we played man u. Again another quality player that we didn''t get the best out of.

Where''s Newton when needed?

This would be the biggest waste of money since last seasons £17m.

This kind of player would come here in megabucks and probably play less than a handful of games.

If you want someone with PL experience in the changing room we have loads of old boys kicking around the place.

If you are looking for experienced PL defenders, you need look no further than Bassong or Martin, Olsson, Whittaker - a fair bit of our squad has plenty of games under their belts; the difference between us and Cherries is that they don''t.

5 or 6 years ago I thought Distin was one of the best defenders in the Premier League. So quick.Not so much nowadays though, obviously. Good experience for Bournemouth to bring in, but 37/38 is very old for an outfield Premier League player.
