Official: Yoann Gourcuff PERMANENT TRANSFER to Bordeaux

Last reports in France are about an agreement for a 4 year contract ... with "only" the wage to still discuss.

Doesn't look too good then. A real shame if the reports are true.

FCK! What a big mistake by our management AND Carlo!! They have to make up for it this summer.

The "directors" going to Bordeaux were Galliani and Leonardo ... so two solutions:
- Leonardo is our next coach, he wanted to explain the project for next season and the place Gourcuff will have in it
- Leonardo will still be a scout, he and Galliani try to convince him to come back

The best solution is the first one ... because that means there is a project.

Anyway, the fact that Galliani is there too probably means that Leonardo and himself will try to convince Gourcuff to come back, and if they fail, Galliani and Triaud will agree about the transfer and make it official ...

If galliani is there is a great sign..that means that he found time out of this mess we are in right know to go there personaly, that shows how much we really want to take him back...I just hope its not too late.


Ps. How much more convinving he would have been if we had secured the CL spot!!!? to bad

I've read today Bordeaux are prepared to pay out the clause and just the personal details need to be worked out. Geotav, is that what's being said in France?

Yes, in France, they say that they need to agree for the wage ... but the fact that Leonardo is more and more probably going to be our next coach and that Kaka' could more and more probably (sic) leave can change something, it's what French medias think: a Milan team built around Gourcuff can interest him more than a Bordeaux team built around him.

Geo, how could you come up with Kaka is "more and more probably leave"? There hasn't been a rumour concerning him lately. And Maldini himself backs him up to be our next captain.

About Leo's coming with Galliani, I don't think it's an indication whatsoever of our next coach will be. Leo is one of our management staffs so it's normal for him to accompany Galliani. It seems like Leo is the man with the best interpersonal skills in our management. He convinced Pato and his family to choose Milan over other clubs. Let's hope that he succeeds again this time.

There are more and more rumours ... each day, you have something written about it, but worst, I saw on a channel owned by Canal + that this Canal + group "knows" that Kaka' is near from leaving. They generally don't announce things like that, so we will see ... but what said Kaka' again, added to what said Berlusconi, added to that makes me being suspicious.

I tell you one thing. If Leonardo becomes our coach, there's no way in hell Kaka will leave...

Whatever it is, fasten your seat belt, guys. It's going to be a bumpy weekend

Im disgusted by the situation that the irresponsibility and subjectivity of Galliani and Ancelotti have created. Loosing such player becouse we play our friends and not caring untill the last day is pathetic.

And if Berlusconi needs his money so much so he needs to sell Kaka' Im also, as well as Curva, for selling Milan. Sell it all and go away.

Stop repeating the same thing Mrki please, it's not because you say that each post that you're going to convince more people. The fact is that this loan in Bordeaux was exactly what needed Gourcuff, even if he managed to do well with us, by staying here, he would have probably never played this way. The only mistake is this 15M clause ... and it's our management who put it.

No offense to be taken there.

It's easy to blame Galliani for a thing like this, but the fact is, that a year ago everybody were happy to see Gourcuff go. It's easy to come afterwards and say, 'oh look, he turned out to be player of the year in France'. Galliani is in France, and in the last month he has made it clear that Gourcuff is welcome in Milan. So the whole 'Galliani doesn't care'-thing, doesn't quite hold up.

You are right man, sorry. Im angry on this situation aguess. My apologies.

But, that clause should not be there. There are no mistakes in this business. Those are not kids writing contracts so you accidentially put 15mln clause. Galliani messed up.

Also, from a technical point of wiew, Im convinced Yoan would do well with us if he played normally. He needed 2 months to start playing well there.

EDIT:

no, I was supporting Yoan all the time. Contrary to Gila for example. Galliani never said a thing untill few weeks back.
