Is Distin a target?

According to the Sun today we are in talks with Man City trying to negotiate a price for Sylvain Dystin. The price Man City will sell at is believed to be in excess of £ 7 million. I think the pacy French defender is the type of player we need. He is good on one on one situations and will allow us to play further up the pitch without being caught out Hyypia style.
