Gourcuff has essentially rubbished the comparisons with Zidane by saying it's complimentary at first but then adds too much pressure on players who are totally different.

Anyway, on a more important note, he's said that he's currently not decided what will happen with him returning to Milan. He see's himself as a Bordeaux player right now, but at the same time he said he hasn't turned the page on Milan, keeps tabs on how we're doing and is willing to return, BUT (here's the key part) not under the same role as before.

Personally, I think he has every right to say this. He's been shining since his return to France and has shown maturity in his performances, which is one of the reasons he struggled in Milan. There should be a chance for him should he return as Seedorf is no spring chicken. He is for me the most natural replacement to Seedorf and the fact that we own him means that if he does come back we won't be spending much.

I envision him fitting into the team like this:

------------------Abbiati---------------------
Zambro----Nesta-------Kaladze----------Janku
----------Rino-----Pirlo------Gourcuff--------
---------Kaka-------------------Dinho--------
------------------Borriello--------------------

Essentially, on the left with freedom to move forward as Seedorf did before (and does lately).
