Distin is s**** imo, agree with the other signings though. (Yorkie)
Don't think anyone can deny he's a better player than Onyewu though. I also like the fact that he gives us proper cover at left back. Two for the price of nothing. Only downside is his age and he may be considered 'over the hill' and 'looking for his last pay package'. Harsh on Onyewu after only 5 games tbh. Distin was s*** when he played for us, and now he's probably risen to 'decent'. Surely we can do better. |

I really don't think Baines is that much of a gamble, he has shown his quality over the last year and a half and is certainly more proven than the likes of Bale any foreign left back we could tempt.

A very good assessment, Glen could hardly do better.
My only disagreement is i wouldnt give Sibierski a new contract at all.He has had a great season but its time to move on.
I would also consider Taylor 1st choice-he will learn nothing sitting on a bench.
The most important position has to be a centre half. ALEX OF PSV.

He was fairly decent against Italy at the weekend, too, was well-impressed with him in comparison to the other defenders that played at various times. Played some beauties on the diagonal and generally was very composed against some good Italian attackers. Didn't exactly stand-out a mile but he does look to have a lot of potential. I can't see outside of Bale, Baines or Bridge for people who we will make our top targets for that position and I would be delighted with one of the latter two, but neither will come cheap. Heinze would be delightful as well, although probably a fair bit more unrealistic. Whoever doesn't go to Spurs/Man Utd may well end up here, out of the first three I mentioned, I'd expect. |

Thing is, he's no world beater but he's a decent player who had leadership skills. Something we lack so crucifyingly in the backline - leadership. An organiser. Taylor's too rash to be a good organiser, atleast for now anyway. Distin would be a canny signing on a free i reckon, providing we get someone else with him. I did say Luisao and Distin.  And to Skryp2nit3, Distin's 29. Hardly 'over the hill'. |

Well he's probably leaving, Man Utd aren't bothered whether he stays or goes. Just depends whether or not he wants to stay in the Premiership. I bet a £5m bid for Heinze could go a long way...

Just think there will be much more attractive options open to him than us. Much more attractive.

How is Heinze realistic? - He doesnt get a game for Manu. - Probably pissed that Evra (who is average) automaticly is 1. choise. And heinze never did anything wrong. - Wants to be a regular and a key player for a team. - Knows he'll be appreciated by the fans. - If Man U get Bale, he might (MIGHT) end up as 3. choise LB - As Y-G said, he'll be available for a few million, as Man u dont want him. |

Agree Heinze is a realistic target, and a no nonsense LB. With Evra first choice at Manure, Silvestre if he stays at the club, potentially Bale coming in and also the likes of O'Shea who can fill in, along with Evans returning from loan who has also done a good job at LB for N.Ireland. We should definitely move for him or Baines |

I can't see how Heinze is a realistic target. Imo, he's one of the top left-backs in Europe. Why the feck would he come to us?

Steve Harper: Was side-by-side with Shay back around 99/00 but inevitably, his lack of games has allowed Shay to pull away. The best back up keeper in the league. Verdict: Keep him
 In terms of his natural ability, loyalty, length of service and attitude, I stand by it. Better than the likes of Robert Green/Ben Foster imo. Could/should have played for England, but didn't want to leave his hometown club. Top bloke tbh. |

How many great performances have you seen Heinze put in for either club or country since he done his knee in?
If he was as good as he was before he wouldn't be going anywhere.

if he only had one leg, he'd still be better than what we have... |
