Yeah that's what I said earlier 
Easy to see why this is his favourite transfer

I like this deal. We'll have Evra for just a couple years and I think he still has the ability to play top football still. I thought he had a solid World Cup.
Also, what other alternatives are there to Evra? What LBs are out there? Rodriguez? He's going to cost a ton of money on the transfer fee and still have considerable wages. I rather pay a small 2M fee, and pay the 14M wages over the next two seasons and use the cash to get our other targets. I don't know, to me this doesn't sound like a bad idea. Asamoah will most likely start, and Evra will be used as a rotation player and when Asamoah is gone for the African Cup. He can't be worse than Peluso.

His basic pay is less than that even, but it's very bonus-based. He could get €90,000 p/w pending these bonuses. Evra's average is €67,000. I still think Cole would have been the better deal but hopefully I'm wrong.
Evra should fit in more immediately, mostly because of language, culture, history and team-mates. Cole is not super smart, and English players are typically hopeless with language.
