kingbroadfooot 68 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Sorry if repost but didn't see anything about him. Would be a class signing if it happened. Not exactly a top source though. This story effectively denies it anyway.The agent of Manchester United winger Gabriel Obertan has quashed rumours that his client could be leaving Old Trafford this summer on loan, Goal.com can reveal.Obertan made only three starts in the Premier League in the 2010-11 campaign and reports emerging from France have linked the former Bordeaux man with a loan move back to Ligue 1.French champions Lille are rumoured to be interested in acquiring the 22-year-old, with the club reserved to losing Gervinho to Premier League side Arsenal.Saint Etienne are also said to be monitoring Obertan's situation at Old Trafford, however, his agent Karim Djaziri has confirmed his client is yet to receive an offer from any Ligue 1 side."Rumours about Lille? No, I have not heard of any. Nor is there any concrete offer from a French club," Djaziri told Goal.com.The agent was then asked whether his client had received an approach from elsewhere, with SPL champions Rangers also being linked with a short-term move for the pacy winger."We have received no concrete offers this summer. There has been no contact," he added.When quizzed if Obertan will stay at Manchester United for the 2011-12 season, Djaziri stated: "Yes, for now he will stay here."The player himself also seems in the dark over a possible move back to his native France when interviewed by France Football."I should know if Manchester United wants to loan me and if they want to [loan me] to Lille. For now, I do not know," he said.Obertan joined Manchester United in the summer of 2009 for a fee of €3.5 million from Bordeaux.My link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbroadfooot 68 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 I think he would shine in the SPL. The lad has some skill and there's no shame in struggling to get a game for Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBagalag 721 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Would rather see our own players get a chance to develop than him coming in on loan. There is no chance we could ever buy him, so seems like a waste of resources to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He is pish.As Iriwn said he can't even run properly, altough I wouldn't go as far as saying he runs like he has spina bifida , plus is head is fucking huge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I started this rumour lol I think he would be brilliant to bring here think he has everything to be a huge success up here and don't think he would cost that much to sign if he does well either.

blyth 3 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I really don't rate Obertan at all.Admittedly, I have only ever seen him play for Man Utd, but each and every time, he has been woeful. Runs the ball out of play, dreadful final ball, very rarely scores. Definitely better options out there than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
