sturla Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Double deal for Gomis and Gourcuff means we can reduce the Gomis price right down so that Lyon don't have to pay St. Ettiene any sell on fee. It's illegal to to that How so? Lyon can sell Gomis for the price of their choosing can't they? There is a lawsuite in Norway about a similar case, about the sale of Veigar Pall Gunnarsson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veigar_P%C3%A1ll_Gunnarsson_transfer_2011 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any substance to all this Gourcuff talk by the way? Used to be one of my favorite players until he went to Meelan and seemingly lost all his swagger.

Unbelievable Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 He's a totally different player to Cabaye though, isn't he? Much more attacking, and can also be deployed out wide, if he isn't injured that is? Another made up rumour by the Daily Fail I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 He plays in the hole mostly. He operates nearer the box, he's not a CM like Cabaye. But I suppose with Sissoko and Tiote it would be a decently balanced midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first attacking midfielder we have been linked with over last 6 months. Genuinely do believe that if Cabaye were to be sold that we would replace him with someone more offensive rather than a like for like and have Tiote and Sissoko behind. Not saying it will be Gourcuff but i think a more offensive player will be signed as Cabaye's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Neither of Sissoko or Tioté are good enough technically imo. They're simply not good enough in possession starting attacks and spraying the ball around. Wouldn't mind seeing Sissoko as box to box making runs and Anita taking care of the more technical stuff.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Still trying to get Thauvin according to the morning's Journal. So we'll pay more for someone who doesn't want to come, rather than pay less (if it is less) for Sinclair or Ince. Makes perfect sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Didn't Gourcuff used to be really good but then fell away? Had truly great season at Bourdeaux when on loan from Milan IIRC, then he sorta slowly declined. He's a rather ineffectual player when I see him nowadays, but hasn't had the best of luck with injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
