Portsmouth have signed Sylvain Distin on a three-year deal after the French defender quit Manchester City yesterday.Pompey manager Harry Redknapp had been interested in signing Distin last summer but former City manager Stuart Pearce refused to let him leave, hoping he could be persuaded to sign a new contract. Instead Distin saw out the last season of his deal at City, where he has played for the last five years, and left yesterday citing the desire to pursue "a fresh challenge".



Distin, who cost £4million when he joined the Blues from Paris St Germain in 2002, turned down one last contract offer from City - rumoured to be the biggest in the club's history - before leaving. The terms of his deal at City have not been released, but it was rumoured yesterday that he had been offered £40,000 a week.
He could soon be joined by Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari, who is expected to be Redknapp's next summer capture.

Yup, slightly suprising.. I don't see him being anymore than a fringe player apart from the period where Essien, Mikel & Kalou are away on African Cup of Nations duty. The rest of the year will be spent seat warming.

Also, Gareth Bale is going to have a medical at Spurs within the next 24Hrs according to sources close to Bale, Even though reports are that Southampton are denying these claims.

Owen to United for 11 million?
Heregraves to united for 25 millon?

Heregraves to united for 25 millon?

I thought Hargreaves was £17 million :S.

Anyway, Leon Constantine to Carlisle from Port Vale
Grant Holt (Forest) may be as well, but I can't see that.
David Nugent to Everton from Preston (been a rumour for a while now)
Karl Hawley to Preston from Carlisle
Peter Murphy to Gretna from Carlisle
Stephen Huntingdon (sp?) to Carlisle from Newcastle

All I can think of concerning at the minute .

Sylvain Distin and Sulley Muntari were today joining Pompey.

The out-of-contract Distin flew into Southampton Airport this morning before driving to Fratton Park to sign a three-year deal.

Muntari has agreed a five-year deal for a club record fee in the region of £7m.


And Charlton defender Hermann Hreidarsson is poised to follow them into Fratton later this week.

Least you knew who he was . Didn't have the paper to hand otherwise I'd have got it from there. Aye he played in the FA Schools Cup Final or something a couple of years back. Would be a very good signing seeing as we need another centre back or two.
