Been impressed with him every time he has come up against us.
Just how good is he?
One of the best defenders we have come up against and lightening quick.

Have to agree with all that dave and like you say when he plays against us he always has a very good game.He'd be a TP wet dream tbh because he's just as capable at left back as he is at centre half.Just a pity he made that terrible error in the semi final which imo cost Everton a place in the final. |

Excellent player granted but age is against him now ( i think )? Better than Huth or Shawcross?....i dont think he is tbh although he is very versatile |

Very quick, great defender. Moyes puts him full back sometimes too.
When he was walking off the pitch he walked past me, he's a big lad - ripped to shreds!!

Not good enough for Man City apparantly, allthough he'd slot nicely in the mama role  |

VERY GOOD! Most underated defnder in the country. Better than what ManUre have.
Strong, great man marker, great in the air and pace to burn too.

Yeah, one of the most complete defenders in the league for my money. He's done well wherever he's been, he was just at Man City at the wrong time but he still did very well there and has done at Pompey and Everton.

Better than what ManUre have. I wouldn't say he was better than Vidic...or Ferdinand....or Evans.....or Smalling....or Jones..... But he's good. |

He's been a very good Premiership player ever since Newcastle first signed him on loan from PSG in 2001. It'd be a great achievement for him to reach 500 games as a top flight player in England, rare he's ever been missing with injury etc.

For my money he's one of the very best defenders outside of the top four. He's a very complete, versatile player too.

If he turned up at Stoke I'd give him 2 games before "Distan is a useless bastard, worst defender in living memory, waste of space, blah, blah, blah " threads began to appear. There's no pleasing some people. |

Always been a brilliant CB, City made a mistake in selling him when they did. Did amazing at Pompey and is incredible for Everton.
The man has ridiculous pace for a big lad.

He is an excellent player. Ethers couldnt get past him for pace.
They do have some quality players in Distin, Pienaar (loan), Cahill and the massively impressive Fellaini.

Very impressed by him, but as said earlier at the age of 35 not the way to go for us.  |

Wasn't saying that we should sign him by the way and I'm well aware of his age.
He is, however, a mightily impressive player especially when he gets those legs moving with such pace. I remember him burning the ground up last season with a run from one side of the pitch to the other to stop Ric I think (even my mum commented about how quick he was that day) and then yesterday in a straight foot race with both Jerome and Ethers.
Very impressed with Distin and during all our time in the premier league, I would go as far as to say that he is one of the best players we have seen.

I think Distin is a cracking player and as you say he has impressed every single time he has played against us.
He would suit us really well.

Must agree, out of contract as well at the end of season and seen as we are handing out 12 month contracts to 35yr olds with no pace and a long throw Distan must be worth a 2yr deal at least can't see everton letting him go tbh |

Very underrated player and such a shame that he's getting to the age he is.
For a defender he's got the lot and really should, with the greatest of respects to the clubs he's played for, reached the very top of the modern game.
Christ knows how he hasn't.
