Offer made for Greg Olley should be a Notts player by the end of the week

I agree with you but this will really test the recruitment people to get someone like that. Having said that, Yates wouldn't have had those credentials and he was ok.

You're right about Yates but he although he came from the academy you could see he wasn't a typical academy style player.

His style of play, which is basically covering as much ground as possible, winning tackles and headers, and side-footing passes to someone more creative, is pretty rare to see in an academy product nowadays.

That's very true. Yates always reminded me of an old-school 90s box-to-box midfielder. The type of player perfectly suited to a flat 442. Pretty rare in this day and age, especially from a top academy like Forest's.
