Liverpool miss out on Distin !

Harry Redknapp has revealed that Liverpool almost hijacked his move for French defender Sylvain Distin.

Distin sparked a major transfer scramble over the weekend when confirming his departure from Manchester City.

Portsmouth boss Redknapp struck an accord with Distin's advisors, but the move was almost scuppered by a rival gambit from Anfield.

Liverpool's offer caused Redknapp some anxious moments, but Distin remained true to his word by signing for Pompey on Wednesday.

And after wrapping up the deal, Redknapp told The Sun: "I panicked when Liverpool came in with a late offer.

"But, thankfully, we'd struck an agreement."

Would of just been a back up anyway

He wouldnt be a regular anyway

It means Hyypia will leave though cos he said if Liverpool buy another CB then he will leave, obviously your looking to add one.

Distin would have been a great signing as back up.

He's gone for First Team football anyway...well done Distin

Distin>>>>>>Sidwell.

I think it's sad how no one is mentioning Hyypia much, he's been fantastic for Liverpool down the years and he's a top top man, he should get a testimonial!

He should be thanked in some way though

They'll give him 100 tickets of Liverpool's allocation for their next CL final
