Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Glenn Roeder insists he has no plans to take either Sylvain Distin or Mikael Silvestre to Newcastle United. The Magpies manager has admitted he is hoping to strengthen his defence in the summer and was linked with the duo over the weekend. But Roeder revealed he will not be making any inroads to sign Manchester City's Distin or Manchester United's Silvestre. "Not one player I was linked with over the weekend was correct and I am not interested in Mikael Silvestre or Sylvain Distin," Roeder told the Evening Chronicle. Distin is out of contract at City in the summer and has yet to make a decision on his future, with Stuart Pearce hoping to persuade the Frenchman to stay. Silvestre, meanwhile, has not been a regular in The Red Devils' plans this term and is out for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury. Over the weekend, Roeder had scouts across Europe taking in Euro 2008 qualifiers, while the Magpies boss watched Portugal's 4-0 win over Belgium.

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 A defender on a free with premiership experience who is better that our current crop of defenders and he's not interested. I know it's only Distin, but you'd have thought the whole Campbell saga would have knocked some sense into the thick twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I would definitely take Distin. May not be the greatest defender but he has qualities we lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the derision and 'I hope we don't sign Silvestre!' cries earlier this week, I'm surprised there's not more support for his stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvestre im glad about but I think Distin on a free could be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GafferTape 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I thought Distin was shit for us, and looks average for City. He's big and quick so he's half way there in looking like a decent centre half, but doesn't have the brains for it. Just like Boumsong. Infact, he's a shitter version of Boumsong. That's how shit he is. Plus, it used to annoy the piss out of me the way he'd throw his hands around in the air every time we conceded a goal. As a replacement for Bramble as third choice then yes, first XI - No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
