lets hope this is another smoke screen whilst we actually sneak in and sign gerrard or fabregas, dont think oakley is a great player to be honest, no better than what we've got

It also mentions that Karl Henry will be dropping back into an Olifinjana role so the bloke that made this up hasn't got a clue what they are on about. If he dropped back any further he'd be playing as a sweeper

We should have got Oakley the season we went up. He went to somwhere i cant remember.

He WAS a very good box to box midfielder, not sure now though!

I think the Hod was going after him for us if I remember rightly?

He certainly used to be an excellent player, isn't he one for the treatment room these days though?

The only experienced player out there I think is worth sizing up, as someone else mentioned, is Alexei Smertin.

But then he is not a Wolves supporter like Denis Irwin and has only lived in London and the West Midlands might not be where he views playing out his final games.

I think injuries have pulled him down. Was good two or three years ago but at 30 is he going to provide the extra class we need in midfield? On a free fine but I would rather we spent big on someone with a long term future. Midfield remains a major weakness imv.

oakley was a player i would have liked four or five years ago, but unless he is very cheap, and a squad player, I don't see any real benefit.

If we get David Jones I do not see the point in getting Oakley. I would rather have a midfield general ala Thomas Gravesen any day of the week
