Distin's comments on Stones

[Woolly Blue]

So, to stop the main Stones transfer thread being clogged up with this.
What Sylvain said was

"So it’s not surprising a big club has come in for him. It is a compliment and if he carries on the way he has started and keeps working, he’ll end up at a big club, that’s for sure."

Taking off our blue tinted specs for a moment. Is that disrespectful, or just honest ?

Utterly honest.

Nothing wrong at all in my eyes.

 

[coollino]

Honest, all his current CL clubs in the major league's are way bigger than Everton. No one cares about history.

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh I've just seen the 'not arsed' option.

Yeah that.

 

[StatesideBlue3]

I don't really care what any former or non-Everton players say, so option 3.

 

[LocalNative]

Utterly honest.

Nothing wrong at all in my eyes.

This all over.

 

[Blue Cheese]

Honest. Currently we aren't a 'big' club, that unfortunately is a fact. There are 4 very major clubs in this Country at the moment, we are not one of them.

Could change in the future like it has before though.

 

[Welton Toffee]

NEA to be honest. Life's too short!

 

[Huyton Layne]

Someone tell me how to feel about this.

[Moomin]

No crying and shaking option???

Disappointed here.

 

[coollino]

Plus i'd love to be able to say something like that, knowing so many people would get wound up.

 

[bizzaro]

Someone tell me how to feel about this.
@bizzaro

@Woolly Blue knows my fume.

He kindly created a poll for me as well.

 

[Elong]

He's right, however he probably doesn't need to say it knowing how passionate Evertonians are about their club and history.

 

[Groucho]

Slightly disrespectful. If he'd said CL club, instead of big club I'd have said that's a fair comment.

To say big club and therefore imply we are not, is disrespectful and wrong. We are a big club. We just haven't won anything in a bit.

Depends on your definition of "big" anyway.

 

[ijjysmith]

To be honest I'm more concerned that our players' hamstrings are made out of strawberry bootlaces.
