Re: Michael Olise
I read that. Don’t recall you getting “mocked” though.....bit dramatic. Only know this lad from YouTube clips. Looks decent but doesn’t play that regularly for Reading in the Championship. 22 games out of 23 this season. 16 started. 1482 minutes suggests otherwise https://www.readingfc.co.uk/teams/...
