Hearing rumours he's agreed a 4 year deal with us? Amazing if true..French international, ex Milan, Lyon etc. Attacking mid.
It's all over the French media in this past hour. Maybe there is something in this. My concern is his injury record. He's only managed an avg of 15 games the past 4 seasons, however in an avg of 15 games he's scored an avg of 3 goals and 5 assists, with an 86% successful pass rate. If we can somehow keep him fit, he will be a great player for us, if not he might turn out to be our version of Darren Anderton, all the talent, just always injured. He is a risk but if he Pozzo's are willing to go for it then I trust them, if of course this story is even true.
I heard nothing from anybody officially connected with the club in any way, just one or two friends in the media who said they'd heard a story that we were linked with him. We were discussing new signings and his name arose in conversation.
Thanks for sharing, would certainly be an interesting signing. I am expecting us to surprise a few with a big name signing before the window shuts. Probably will see the end of Paredes
This bloke says it was reported in a French newspaper https://twitter.com/castolols/status/632562938390409216
René Ruello va devoir trouver les mots justes pour convaincre l'ancien Lyonnais qui prend tout son temps pour choisir sa future destination. Montpellier, Guingamp, Bordeaux et plusieurs clubs étrangers ont également approché Gourcuff au cours des dernières semaines. Saying Rennes are in talks, but also Montpellier, Guingamp, Bordeaux and several foriegn clubs have been interested.
According to Newspaper Casto Mercato? No such thing. I would love to be proved wrong, but this smacks of a massive wind-up.
This guy sounds fantastic, but he also makes Abdi seem like a super fit athelete, who never misses a game :doh: I don't think we can afford the luxury of signing this guy!
