He's still a decent enough player and he's much better than Voronin, Kuyt, Babel and N'Gog. Bordeaux are the French champions and he's been one of their best players. Sure, you could argue he doesn't score enough goals, but him playing up front brings out the best in Gourcuff who we all know is the best player in France.
It's been denied but I'm still pretty confident in our chances of getting him. As soon as the Echo reported it and Chamakh came out saying he'll decide by the end of the month, I felt we had a strong chance of getting him. I don't think we're in a financial position to pay that much money to any player as a signing on fee. I hope we sign him but I won't raise my hopes too high with owners like ours, we don't have the best record of signing players when going up against other big clubs, but I'm hoping Purslow can change this.
