Should have been replaced a while back, He's had good games for us but he's a mediocre player who Was never as good as the man he replaced. Does my head in a bit the way Some Everton fans Big their players up Into something their not. He was lucky to have played for us At all and should remember that whatever has went on.
 

Yes, indeed.

But perhaps Distin, being as good as he has for us, may not have been the player (or rather person) to give the cold shoulder to. It's time for Distin to 'not play anymore' though.

Having said that, no player should be immune to criticism.

Agreed and whilst we can't demand or expect to learn about everything that goes on behind closed doors, it does seem a tad strange that he was denied a move on the grounds he was needed, and he's then been shunted to play with the U21 side. And even stranger if, as Distin says, that has helped him keep fit... And if there was no coherent plan for his experience to actively be part of the U21 coaching scenario?

Footie can baffling for us mere mortals.

Remember, there are two sides to every tale.

This is one.

He should've been replaced earlier yes, but I wouldn't say he was mediocre.

I guess so, but if Distin has been out of order to the degree that Martinez thought he should no longer figure in the first team picture, wouldn't the best and more decisive managerial move to have been to take the chance to move him out and get him off the wage bill?
I know that moving him out to another team in the Prem could be seen as helping them at our expense, but the seemingly disciplinarian nature of this surely meant that if there was to be a parting of the waves then his being moved out rather than to the U21 team would have been more decisive?

Maybe we'll never know.

There must be tons that we don't know about.

He was miles better than I thought he was going to be when we signed him but I doubt he'd of got a better offer than Everton as a club myself. He Did a job for us but I won't be losing any sleep over him going and I feel he should be easily replaceable unlike his predecessor Lescott who was a good player.
 
And people thought there were no issues in the dressing room. lol


Anyway thanks Sylvain, apart from 'that pass' and this season. Enjoy France. :)
 
All the best Distin, very good player for us. He had a poor run of form at the beginning of the season. But I don't feel he was ever given the opportunity to right it. Where as when stones is injured we have to watch the abombination that is alcaraz. I'd rather have played Distin, least you could make an argument for him.
