Also to be fair, Gomes did look a bit accident prone at times when he was at Spurs.

 

there is something to the spurs ruins players thing, I don't think its through the playing side but I wonder if it's something to do with expectation and attitude of club and fans and the way it transmits to players

 

I don't think they give players a chance. It's almost as if the fans decide very quickly if a player is good enough or not and the coach becomes too afraid to play them again.

 

tbf most Spurs fans rate him , thought he was worth keeping to try and recapture his early success he had in his first 18 months with them .

A steal at 5.5 m

 

Hopefully today is the day.

Price ranging between 5.5-6.5 million is excellent business.

Capoue, Gueds and Abdi could be special.

 

I'm sure all the over 60s will agree with you

 

And my 16 year old daughter. And me.

 

Throw in Sarabia too. He has 12 months left on his contract and would be a steal at a few million euros to team up with QSF again

 

Sam Cunningham has confirmed he was at our training ground yesterday. Imagine a midfield of Capoue, Inler and Abdi.

 

With Mertens on the wing

 

Hopefully we won't have to just imagine this.... Throw Guads into that mix and I just might climax.

 

I am so bloody excited!!!!

Some these transfer rumours coming through, TV fixture announced at 1pm, its bloody Friday and its 21 degrees and sunny!!!

 

Sign today please, Etienne.

 

Daily Mail says we want Capoue and Stambouli in a £10m double deal. Can't see it myself, sounds like Capoue is pretty much done and Stambouli is a similar player isn't he?

 

I really don't think we'll sign Capoue and Stambouli.

 

Confirmed by lowerrous on Twitter. Good enough for me, time to change the thread title to 'Confirmed' please mods.

 

Obviously I was quite selective with stats, but this is still nice to look at.

 

Good stats whalebait. Can I ask what site you used?

 

I believe its the dulux kitchen and bathroom range

 

Looks like Squawka

 

I think Stambouli is more versatile & can play further up the pitch. Box to box. I'd deffo take them both if offered. We're gonna need lots of good players, the more the better.

 

He sounds like the player Chalobah could have become in a parallel universe where he doesn't sign his life away to Chelsea.

 

I bet this doesn't get announced today. Damn you Thu... Fridays.

 

Has Capoue been told about this transfer?

I hope so.

 

10 million agreed for Capoue and Stambouli according to Daily Mail.
Need to sort out contracts next.

 

We don't need both though, surely?

 

It's a BOGOF. Never turn down anything free.

 

If it's in the Daily Mail it must be true.

 

Just stick one of them at left-back now Holebas has gone to Stoke or whatever the problem is.

 

You missed a step!

1) Agree transfer fee

2) Announce that the two players have officially signed

3) Somehow convince them both to sign a contract with us

 

Flores has played with a double pivot before so having both gives us options.

And lets face it, they're both also very good players who could be worth a boat load if they find their feet with us. 5 million each is pretty reasonable.

 

SSN Investigative section was all about Watford.

Capoue - fee agreed - personal terms almost complete

Strambouli - fee agreed - bit further away on personal terms

Holebas - due iminently

Harry Kewell - U21 boss possibly
