Official: Yoann Gourcuff

I know he's a Milan player and all, and although i'm a Chelsea fan,i would love to see him turn out to be the new Zidane; seeing him grace the football pitches with his skill once again would be fantastic.

Difficult to predict how high he can reach, but he has great potential. Like most 19 y.o. players, in some matches he was terrific and in some others just ok.
Consistency is something he need to work to live up all the expectations surounding him nowadays. But until now is by far the best hiring we made this season.
Anxiously waiting to see Kaká-Foggia-Gourcuff-Pirlo playing at the same time. Do not know if it will happen, but...

And he joined Real Madrid in 2001, then there was this spectacular goal against poor Bayer in the CL final.

I personally agree that his golden years were with Juventus.

That Dugarry move was just the beginning of many nightmare hirings (De Ascentis, Jose Mari...) in the end of last decade/beginning of this.

Hmm you're right about the consistant thing. He may have all the skill in the world but hes gota be consistant. Well i hope he does turn out ok as it would be really nice to see Zidane off and bringing his Heir to the throne In Yoann.

Yoaan is perfect signing one of the best ... i have faith in him ... he can be a replacement or whatever but i really want to see him in first team fighting away ... that ll lower our age average too ... kaka . gilardino . gourcuff are all young and to sign ibra ... thats just ...

Just wondering but how much did you buy him for??

I'm not going to argue with that! It's true lol
But to a certain extent teams do rip us off with players nowadays as they know we now have the money.

I think Yoann is being unveiled at a press conference today ... along with Favalli.

The first of many press conferences with new players i hope.

He looks good alot of shot power

the first impression about Gourcuff is that he's a complete player. Every quality will get better and better as long as the guy gets more mature. I saw vision, shoot, headers, sense of the goal and personality
