I was watching the Werder Bremen match this past weekend and heard Nick Webster say that Micoud wants to go to the EPL, with Liverpool and Newcastle targeting him. I've found a couple of dead links mentioning that he wants to leave, and that contract talks won't happen until the summer. I personally think he would be a fair to good addition to the already crowded midfield. I think he's more offensive (Jenas/Dyer) than defensive (Speed), and it's Speed that they'll need to replace sooner than later. With Robert, Jenas and Dyer the probable midfield for the next 3 or so seasons, and Ambrose the likely first sub for either of those three, do they really need him? Thx, Jay!
I think he'd be quite a valuable asset if he would set up Bellers, Shearer or Ameobi as much as he sets up Ailton and Klasnic for Bremen.
