Apparently Gourcuff is willing to take a wage cut to join us. He'd only be about 8m roughly. I reckon that Wenger could bring him back to his best and he'd be a fairly good option in the midfield.

What d'ya think?

Think Wenger can bring out the best in him, and hopefully he can come back to the level he was in Bordeux.

Hoping for better. He's 27 now, injury-prone and has scarcely played for the last 2 years. He has gone from a great player to one who has only the potential to be what he was, and I think we need more than that. If we are getting an attacking midfielder, I reckon we should get one who primarily plays off the wing. I wouldn't be at all against Di Maria, though doubt we could get him (at least until RM sign Bale).

Precisely the signing we don't need. Grenier kept him out of the team towards the end of the season, Lyon don't want to sell Grenier but have been willing to shift Gourcuff for at least 2 windows. This is not what will push us on. It's embarrassing that we even get linked with him! Do you see : Man U, Chelsea, City, Bayern, Madrid, Barca eyeing him up? No, so why the ffff are we? Drives me insane!

Metal you are insane in a good way

A loan deal with a buy option would'nt be bad. Worst case he'll just be cover.

Take a 75% wage cut and get him for like 5mil and maybe be worth a punt but other than that defo wpuldnt sign him

Should have got gourcuff 4 years ago when we were close - too injury prone, and past his best. We have ramsay, rosicky, wilshere, carzola, ox and diaby who can play a range of AM/ LM/ RM roles - wait for Fabregas next year is my vote.
