‘Sylvain Distin and Younes Kaboul are the central defenders for Pompey in 2009/10’, not my vote, yours – although these findings from the forum poll to determine who we think should be these central defenders, for the 11 players we will select, are thoughts that I do agree with to be honest…
I have doubts, I have to admit – and have done so for some time – that Distin will even stay with Pompey and if I am also honest I did not want this earlier in the summer! But if he does then without a doubt he would be in the team. We just have to hope that he shows us more this season, as he showed us more than enough last season…more that enough of his bad side!
‘If’ he stays, and I think it is fair to say this is still a big if – and if his storming across the car park at Basingstoke is anything to go by then I think it is an even bigger if to be honest – then he must be fully ‘fookused’ and committed, he is no good to us if not.
Kaboul, so long as he stays fit, is going to be fantastic for us this season methinks and he would be my first choice central defender, ahead of anyone else.
I really do feel, and always have, that he has everything about him that is needed in the modern game to be a top class central defender.
