Very good Trumpton!  Seriously though, Olivier is exactly the type of player we need in the centre of our midfield right now. Calm and composed on the ball, can pick a pass like the very best of 'em, strong in the tackle. Bags of Premiership (and indeed Champions League) experience. Has been on fire for Inter the last few seasons but doesn't fit into Mourinio plans. They'll let him go on a free, he's apparently looking for 30k a week and an eighteen month contract. Addison, Surman or Dacourt? Hmmm ... |

If he's on a free to be honest i'll be surprised if he can't easily pick up 30g a week and for a lot better teams than us unfortunatley. If Lucas Neil is on 70g a week anyway |
