Etienne Capoue

[SpursManChris]

Rubbed Tim up the wrong way I should think. "Not my cup of tea, no".

Was this actually a quote from him?

Randomly (I hope), have a look at the picture on Physioroom.com.

What picture? And why should we "randomly" look?

Not about Capoue specifically, but this was his quote: "Some of these players play for national teams and are world class players but they might not be my cup of tea."

The main picture on the site was Capoue injured. I assume this was their randomly choice of injured player, and not some Orwellian Spurs conspiracy. You've made me explain it, and it now sounds even more lame.

He's got about as much a chance as Sandro has of ever playing for Timmy again...

 

[ultimateloner]

he's over rated

 

[Oscar22]

How on earth can he be over rated from.what we have seen of him in a spurs shirt?!

I actually genuinely hope all of our signings stay for next season. I want to see what they can do when settled and playing for a decent manager.

Why do you say this What is the basis of your comment

 

[Blake Griffin]

looked decent for 20 minutes vs palace.

 

[Kiedis]

He started the season in such a manner that I was quite confident that Sandro would have his work cut out for him in order to get by him in the pecking order. His season after the injury against Arsenal has been a waste though. Rushed back from injury to be played out of position and then finding that the manager doesn't seem to understand what he does well.

Clue: Compare the times Capoue wins the ball compared to Bentaleb for the shallow analysis. Then study the difference in how the former positions himself to shut down space in front of our defence.

(This is not to bash Bentaleb.)

 

[Kiedis]

On another note, I just woke up after having dreamt that I was at a party with Capoue. He brought me a beer.

So I can also vouch for his immense human qualities.

 

[ilikeost]

Good to see him back, hopefully he gets a few minutes next game.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Think he will take Sandro's spot if they both are here next season. Quality player.

While we're on the topic of training photos, what in the world is going on in this picture?

I'm not so sure he will but one thing is certain I think its important we have both. We would be stupid to sell him so quickly.

^This. He looked great at the beginning of the season: good defensively in the CDM position with the vision for a good pass too. Can't wait to see how he does w/ a consistent run. Plus, Sandro spends a lot of time injured so I think we need both.

No idea, but the two balls in the background suggest it was shooting practise for Andros. The goal is out of picture, 300 yards to the left.

So he is getting closer then!

Kyle just doesn't want to let him shoot with his ball as he knows he will have to go fetch it from the next field over after.

Maybe this is how we should teach the defence to be better.... Don't let Townsend steal your ball to shoot or you have to fetch it!!

On topic good to hear Capoue is back.

Andros is trying to cut back behind naughton and kyle impeded him going towards the ball. that's what it looks like to me

Statistically average.
Not played enough to justify not selling given the right offer price.
Less physically dominant than Sandro despite playing the same position.

 

[ShaunL84]

The cameo he played against Crystal Palace was the greatest Spurs defensive midfielder performance I have ever seen in my whole lifetime as a Spurs fan.

It was like watching a mixture of Makelele, Patrick Viera and Roy Keane along with the passing style of Andrea Pirlo.
