From what I've read/heard, Gourcuff has somewhat lost his way recently. He hasn't really been able to replicate his Bordeaux 2008/09 form for a while now (especially at Lyon). For those who watch Ligue 1, is this a fair thing to say?
The lad definitely has potential and he's done alright so far imo. He's been good going forward but defensively, he's a bit suspect but in time, he'll be a great player.
Like I've said before, wouldn't mind Carroll coming back as long as he apologises for leaving/admitting he made a mistake and all that. I would pay £10 million tops.
Agree with everything you've said there except for the Raylor bit. For once in the PL, Raylor has looked solid for us and I'd keep him on as a utility/squad player at the very least.
