Étienne Capoue

[We'llWinThePrem]

What a player we have here...Absolutely fantastic. I wonder if Hoddle still thinks Huddlestone is better?

EDIT: Just seen there's already a thread for him. Can a mod merge? Sorry!

3 words: The New Beast.

He'll never win over the fans like Sandro, because Sandro runs around the pitch and puts in 100% in blood, sweat and vomit. Capoue doesn't, and that's what is so great about him. He's technically superior to Sandro, he's also more disciplined and that's why he doesn't have to run around like a mad man.

 

[Pat Rice Spurs fan]

I think we should buy him.

 

[Bergsy]

He's back to the player he was before his injury. Glad to have him back.

 

[DJS]

Silly squad number now though.

 

[HotspurFC1950]

I always rated Capoue from when I first saw him in the lillywhite.

Who's decision was it to sign him I wonder.

A quick look through the realistic squad for next season brings a few laughs.
Capoue and Chadlis name are mentioned alot and not in the staying column.

I bet it was hilarious for you.

good passing stats....actually great passing stats putting Ramsey and Cesc in the shade

Please never play him in anything but the league until we are further in the Cup competitions. He's such a vital player for us right now. He absolutely sets the tone from a physicality and ball retention standpoint.

A cesc /Modric type alongside capoue would complete us.

Bentelab is much to safe and won't receive the ball from the defense, turn move and play it forward.
No one will really, dembele is closest in that he can pick it up and move forward but then he will make a bland univentive pass

Until we bring in someone like Schneiderlin, I'm very worried about Capoue getting hurt as the only one who could potentially do his job is Sandro and no one has any idea if he's even healthy enough (or ever will be) to do it.

It's my biggest fear as well. I shudder at the thought of us selling Sandro and not landing Schneiderlin for whatever reason and then Capoue going down. I feel like it'd almost be our undoing, at least against the better attacking sides.

Etienne Capoue is my new favourite player

Whilst we wont have a destroyer, I think 4 deeper players is the ideal number and I genuinely think Vejlkovic could make the step up bentaleb did. If Mason stays he will be another that could add to that 4 with Vejlkovic. Plus we have Dier and Chiriches who both played DM there for their last club

Also worth noting that Poochie played Ward Prowse as one of the 2 deeper players. I think we could see potentially Eriksen in a deeper role against the shitter teams like he did for Ajax

I would go as far as keeping Sandro even if we get MS as Im not counting with either of them to stay healthy through out the season.

no need to sign another cm.

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Assuming Sandro isn't physically what he was then I'd sell him and take Alex Song on loan from Barca.

Nothing to do with the Arsenal connection but after that ridiculous elbow at the world cup I wouldn't want that wanker.
