Yoann Gourcuff (AC Milan)

I reckon he'd be a good signing.
At the moment Kuyt has shown to be adept on the right, but after his goal against WBA i believe his best position's up front.

Heard about him, scored a wonder goal against Roma or someone in the CL this season.But that is all I know about him.Wouldn't spend more than 10 million for him!!

Wow and wow.

In terms of the first post; you havent seen alot, except a goal, and you straight away know his value?

As for the second post, Dirk is a marvel on the right IMO just goes to show his work is undervalued and doesnt get the recognition he deserves. His movement on the right creates that space for Fernando and Steven. I advise you actually watch our game and study it before making assumptions on where players should play.

Liverpool set sights on €15million New Zidane

Liverpool Football Club are set to make a move for Yoann Gourcuff.

The France international is currently starring for Bordeaux as Laurent Blanc’s side close on their first Ligue 1 title since 1999, yet he is contracted to Italian giants AC Milan.

A deal is in place which would allow the Stade Chaban-Delmas side to take the 22-year-old on a permanent basis if they can find €15million by May 31.

However, reports claim Rafael Benitez is hoping to gatecrash the proposed transfer, as he looks to add more quality to his Anfield squad in the wake of their failed Premier League title bid.

The Reds manager is willing to pay Milan’s asking price of €15million for Gourcuff, who has perhaps predictably been dubbed as the new Zinedine Zidane in his homeland.

However, there is also a strong possibility that the player will be given another chance to make the grade in Serie A next season, as the Rossoneri have been impressed with his performances of late.

i agree with crouchinho..

I just wanna say let Kuyt do what's he's doing best right now.The duracell bunny has been our pillar of strength this season. Don't ever sell Agger no matter what. He's the perfect replacement for Hyypia. As for this guy, I don't him that much. Watching youtube doesn't change thing. I still don't know much about him.

At this moment in time it's not about improving our first XI, it's about improving our strength-in-depth.

People seem to think that whoever we buy will be playing 50+ games a season, but this is not the case.

As this fella seems to be of decent quality down the right, he would make for sufficient cover for Dirk.

Better if he can play like Dirk. Tiredless effort and full of energy.

Everyone seems to be the new Zinedine Zidane. Weren't Franck Ribery and Samir Nasir dubbed the new Zidane at one point?

Yep, as well as Anthony Le Tallec

Oh heaven help us another " new Zidane"  :

I was going to say the whole thing smells a bit off with that term

I remember a new Zidane before. He scored against the Chavzki before f*cking off to France!!

And Newcastle the week after! 

He looks pretty decent.  But if AC Milan don't see anything in him...

Well, if we can get him on a cheap price, I wouldn't mind. Maybe he can become a real class player in Liverpool.

Agreed.

From the right, Dirk gives us goals, workrate, movement and assists - I think he's our top player in that last category this season.

Who would let a player go if he was of that standard steer clear the french league is as bad as the dutch at the moment.

He's said in this article that a move to Bordeaux is his main priority.

Somewhat tellingly too Liverpool aren't even mentioned so it just seems that this whole story has been so much pissing in the wind.

He has completed a move to Bordeaux;

Bordeaux secure Gourcuff

France playmaker Yoann Gourcuff has signed a four-year deal with Bordeaux.

The gifted 22-year-old had been on a season-long loan at Stade Chaban-Delmas from Italian giants AC Milan and recently indicated that he was keen to make the move permanent.

Ligue 1 side Bordeaux have now taken up their option to buy Gourcuff, who has reportedly caught the eye of a clutch of European sides.

"Bordeaux and Yoann Gourcuff are happy to announce that they have signed a four-year deal. Bordeaux have indeed decided to lift their option to buy the player," read a statement on Bordeaux's official website.

So impressive has Gourcuff's form been this campaign, the France international was named Ligue 1 Player of the Season by his peers on Sunday.
