Idiots not only put a terrible Zebina there, but put him in as CB and not RB. Could put thuram CB, or just use the Blanc u mentioned, he was voted best player in Inter when they were filled with stars.
And Vieira makes sense, not that many CMs French CMs (Youri Djorkaeff, Boghossian, Cauet, Dacourt?), and he won a title every season.
