Distin & Neville - Contract Extensions

I don't mind Neville having an extra year provided he's very much a backup player. He's one of those that's handy to have on the bench as he can cover a range of positions. He shouldn't be anywhere near the first team though really.
 
He won't be a back up player though. He'll play most weeks.

The litmus test is Gibson and who gets dropped when he returns.

I suspect the squad will change a fair bit between now and the summer. We don't know if Moyes will go back for the Belgian lad in January for instance, or if MoFro will stay and who might replace him if he does go.

For me it's an opportunity cost thing. If we didn't have Neville playing at the moment, we'd have either Heitinga or Junior next to Osman. Neither really fill me with confidence.
 
Love Distin and Neville........'s Stepovers

How much would they be getting a week on this extra year do you think?
 

How does Moyes see Neville's performances this year as deserving of another years extension?

Incredible.
 
To be honest as much as I love Distin im not sure I would extend his contract for another year either. I would prefer to see Duffy get an oppurtunity as the 3rd choice centre back.
 

Laughing about Neville's comments about wanting also to fulfill his ambition of playing abroad. I presume he's talking about the SPL.
 
If Neville was that crap then we wouldn't be sitting in 4th place, however you could look at it another way, and say that if we actually had a decent central midfield then we would probably be top of the facking league!

Like other people have already stated, if we hadn't have had Neville then we would have had Heitinga or Junior playing there instead, both of which are even crapper than Neville, considerably crapper IMO.

A one year extension makes perfect sense.
 
Think Nevilles been excellent value for us,I for one certainly would not mind having him as a squad player for another year,you know he'll keep himself in top condition and has already been mentioned can cover a number of roles,Distin is a top pro also,although I would think Duffy should now be pushing for his place,he can still provide cover at left back if heaven forbid,Baines is ever out.
