Zinedine Gourcuff

Look at the Yoan Gourcuff's goal for Bordeaux at PSG during the weekend, that was an amazing bit of skill and trickery by the frenchman. Despite his apparent promise and young age, Milan decided to loan him out and brought in David Beckham (also on loan) to fill in his place.

I guess if the objective is to raise money from shirt sales the Beckham route is the way to go, but if you really wanted to improve the team's performance (and judging by their 2-2 draw with Roma on the weekend, the need) why didn't they recall the man the media hails as the new Zidane?

Then again, Milan has Kaka-Ronaldinho-Seedorf-Pirlo-etc in their midfield, maybe they didn't think another creative midfielder was needed, but look at where they are now. Interesting to watch this, wonder if Gourcuff will eventually leave for greener and bigger pastures. Arsenal could certainly use a creative midfielder, and Arsene Wenger could certainly get the best out of him.
