Scored a stunning goal this week, not sure how he managed to keep away from us.

We have no hope of getting him now, we have no place for him in the team unless its as a replacement for Cesc or Van Persie...

He'll probably be going back to Milan.

outrageous footwork there.

I saw that goal last night and I was thinking the same thing, that we should try to sign him. He wont go back to Milan straight away because where would he play regularly? I reckon we might be able to get him on loan sometime in the future.
Quality goal though

I'm not surprised, the guy has been in brilliant form this season. I don't think he's returning to Milan, which himself and his father have made abundantly clear. Bordaeux have already agreed a fee to sign him, so I think a bid from us in the summer, would certainly interest him. I would take this guy ahead of any AM in the World at the moment, but I think Arshavin's signing would effectively rule out his purchase. Nevertheless, having the two petit Zizou's on either flanks would be stuff of dreams.

Zidane moves.

I think he is a great player and all, but you would have him over any AM in the world? No way IMO. If we bought him he would probably play on the wings, but he is far too slow to be effective there IMO. He would only be good in Cesc or Van Persie's position.outlaw_member said:
I would much rather have Arshavin or Ribery. Even Ben Arfa...

Definitely ahead of any realistic target. He has a clause to sign for 15 million, which is good price for him.

Arshavin and Ben Arfa are not "realistic" signings? We are on the verge of signing Arshavin and Ben Arfa turned down the chance to sign for us this summer...

They're 10 times better than the boring English commentators. In France you can enjoy most matches just because of the commentary.
Player:Tomiyasu
I think he is better than Nasri. Not too sure because apart from this video and 2 french match, haven't watched him. 
That goal is out of the world. Look at how he backfacing the defender with the fantastic footwork

I was referring to Ribery and Ben Arfa as not being realistic signings. Ben Arfa just signed for Marseille, and they won't be selling soon, especially not for Wenger prices. Ribery as we all know is a no go area. Arshavin is probably the better talent right now, but I think Gourcuff would be a better long term and less risk signing.

Gourcuff isn't going to get any faster/quicker...

With his technical ability and intelligence, I don't think that would be a problem.

He won't be very effective on the wings for us with his lack of pace IMO. He isn't pacey or quick. Arshavin would be a much better fit...

I prefer the pace to be upfront, rather than in midfield. I think you should have as much creativity in the midfield as you could possibly get, and than have two out and out strikers, rather than a link up one. Arshavin can also provide that, but I prefer Gourcuff because of the previously mentioned reasons.

Just because he can perform for Bordeaux doesn't mean that he can perform for Milan or for us. Let's see how Gourcuff performs for Milan, if he does return to them, before we make any judgment on him.
