Distin to Sunderland

[mrkenny1878]

Distin is 35 and still playing great why not,providing no injuries,have him at Goodison another 2 years,max,Neville's the same age and if he retired tomorrow nobody would give a ****e,I know a few who'd have a party or two..nothing mega like but you know what i mean.

Age is irrelevant in this case - Sylvain has looked after himself meticulously, has a better turn of recovery pace than any of our other defenders and can play equally well with either Jagielka or Heitinga ( the same cant be said reciprocally). He's also brilliant around the team apparently, so I'd give him a two year deal, perhaps with salary reducing proportionate to games in season two.

All told, he's our best all round defender bar Baines.
