Bordeaux: Obertan wants to play for United
In today’s transfer news, this has clear come out of left field.
According to Bordeaux president, Jean-Louis Triaud, Bordeaux midfielder Gabriel Obertan is on the verge of signing for us.
“There is a very strong likelihood that the deal will go ahead. Manchester United want to sign him and, for our part, we would be delighted to see Gabriel playing for such a prestigious club. We will make the official announcement when the time is right.”
It is odd that a president would be glad to see the back of one of his promising talents. No transfer fee as of now has been known to be agreed. So there is still sometime to go before this deal bears fruition.
He’s a midfielder who can play across the midfield, even as a winger. Obviously for those of us who know little of French football, Youtube is our solace. Here’s a sample of him which shows him to be a little direct player, but clearly isn’t the finished product. However, we’d like feedback from those who follow French football.

@Grognard: ….or the EUFA cup, or whatever they call it now!!
I’m getting some itchy feet, right now. This guy Obertan is another underwhelming strike IMO, and unless we are being cagey in our bidding, this doe not bode well.
At this rate, every player of any worth will be snapped up and long gone before we get somewhat desperate about our squad. Of course, as soon as SAF has a week or two of training to pore over, the ruins of 2008 will become apperent to him!!

@steve: You’re beginning to talk my language, mate!!
However I’m not sure Schneider is on the radar, and Robben will probably end up in a hospital bed just like Owen will, the very one that Hargo has just managed to crawl out of!!

“@Red Ranter: If Michael Essien was to go single handedly against Spurs I would predict a 3-2 win for Essien. ”
Dont you think you’re exagerating just a tee-wee bit here????
I think it would be more like 5-1 for Essien. And, I’m sure he’d have things wrapped up after about 15mins. Their goal would come after he substituted himself.
