    Don't know the details but good news. He's been fairly solid this season.

    Exactly, it's only 1 year so that's fair.

    he rarely gets beaten for pace, is strong and a good tackler. no brainer really hes the only one of our back four with any real pace.

    If he still has more speed than most of the other defenders,why offer him only a one year contract? He is not going to turn into a knacker in that length of time. I want him to stay until he retires. He's great.

    everyone knows when you turn 35 you fall to pieces and are only good for glue... I understand fully the clubs decision...

    There are plenty of Italian players approaching 40. Distin is French, which is almost exactly the same thing.

    Mind games? Me? I find it a treacherous game of chance dealing with my own mind. I consider my brain to be the enemy within- a pouting diva of an organ, demanding indeterminate doses of instant gratification, on pain of undermining itself, to my cost, for its own glee.

    If EFC had offered Distin a two or three-year contract, this may have been more attractive to him, so that could have been counterbalanced with a lower wage. As it is, he may leave on a free in a year, to see out his career in the USA or China, leaving us with the need to find a replacement, which will cost £5-10m. I hope he carries on at Everton for years.
