I don't know how they will manage the end of this season in Bordeaux, but if Laurent Blanc leaves, they're going to have some problems as Gourcuff already said he could leave too if Blanc leaves, and that some other players will also want to leave (so having this kind of coach, almost a guru, is good to have a team following the same goals, but it becomes a huge blow when the guy leaves and everyone wants to follow him)..

Chamakh is overrated. He'san ok player but he isn't really an upgrade on Borriello.

2009/10- 38 games, 14 goals, 1 assist
2008/9- 40 games, 14 goals 6 assists
2007/8- 32 games 4 goals 6 assists

Borriello
2009/10- 29 games, 12 goals 1 assist
2008/9- 8 games, 2 goals, 1 assist
2007/8- 35 games, 19 goals, 4 assists

We're talking about.... 110 games, 32 goals, 13 assists vs. 72 games, 33 goals 6 assists.

I know stats don't tell the whole story and I'll admit Chamakh is a slightly better player but not enough to really justfy making him milan's new CF signing. Keep in mind Borriello did it in Serie A
