Not sure why we’re not all over Distin – but Roeder has said more than once he doesn’t want him – don’t know why?

He's a powerful player who will only get better. He doesn't have an attitude problem and really wanted to stay. This is a questionable decision for Roeder to make. I can only assume he is going to use this money (4 mil?) to add to a big bid for Curtis Davies, who will probably command a fee of around 10-12 million. They should keep Onyewu.

Ed, maybe you can take a closer look at the relegation candidates and see whether there’s anyone going to be easily available?

Distin would be good - but Roeder keeps saying he doesn't want him. Think we've lost out on Woodgate because of Roeder not really wanting him last summer - but he would be a dream acquisition for us in our current plight. Roeder has to be aggressive in Xfer market - right from the start. We need good defenders - not much else really.

If not into starting XI - there aren't too many commanding center backs available.. In any case - lot will depend on who will get promoted and who will get relegated. I would like to see Newcastle to get either Lucas Neill or Luke Young, other one of them WILL be relegated and both of them would boost our defense.. To center there's of course Curtis Davies and Anton Ferdinand.. However, for some reason I hope we won't sign either of them - Woodgate would be by far the superior option of all. I just don't think we have a chance to get him anymore... After Woodgate, I think we should try to sign Distin and/or Jagielka.. Poor Roeder - trying to look so pragmatic and probably will end being fired by not doing the tough decisions. Gooch would have been a good acquisition.
