Bailey, I can't agree.
Distin is at the end of his career, but he is an absolute top professional. Jags is miles behind in my opinion. He had a good season, but no way is he the better defender. If he 'isn't showing it', then he isn't doing it. His top flight career is not long enough to have one good season, and then be able to get by on reputation. How he got back in the England squad is beyond me, but then so did Johnson, rather than Richards, so there are few surprises with England. Distin has been our outstanding player for some time now. If we lose him, we will regret it.
