Slightly surprising imo, but on a free,it's not a bad acquisition at all.
It just worries me slightly when it is reported that we came in with a late bid, it's as though we didn't know who we wanted in the first place.
Anyway, good luck to the lad for choosing Pompey, it's just the kind of club where he should flourish.

Rafa-Dodd wrote:Don't know why people would not want him here. Especially on a free transfer. He might not be automatic first choice but he would be a brilliant squad player, and if the rumours about Sami wanting to leave, he would of been a perfect replacement.
He might not of took Aggers place in the team but he would of pushed Agger to perform better and he is not a bad player.
Some people need to stop aiming for the stars with our signings. Senderos is a young quality centreback and would cost megabucks to come here and be a squad player. Distin was on a free, and would of been perfect.
Nice to see him stick to his word with Pompey though. Top man with morals.
Could be that, or likely also the fact that he knows he won't be first choice over here. I doubt Rafa is looking to break up the Carra-Agger link. And at Distin's age, he cannot afford to be warming up the bench for too long.
Would have been a good deal for us for free, and he would make a good squad player, but I can understand his reasons for not joining us.

Actually a very good defender with terrific recovery pace and also good aerial ability.
Would have kept Agger out of the side in my opinion.

If he joined Liverpool, he would have been nicknamed "Disty Bin".

Didn't know viduka is on a free....If we wanna sign a lazy striker who can score loads of goals (if he is provided with decent service)....then he is the one...

Out of the Bosman list I would sign Ben Haim.

How about Metzelder?
What do you reckon, Welsh Wizzard? £17m was it?

Were he ran like 50 yards with the ball

Figo and Mark would be fairly good signings

Figo it's impossible because or he'll stay at inter or he'll go in Saudi Arabia...
For me a good signs must be Viduka and Metzelder
