I must admit I'm a bit underwhelmed by signing anyone for a substantial fee who Spurs have discarded. My impression is that they take good players, perform some sort of black magic on them and churn them out the other end as broken men. At least Gomes was free. There are loads of their cast offs that just hang around bloating squads, picking up vast wages and never doing the business again.
Don't see how Spurs can hope to recoup the whole fee. They signed him thinking that was what he was worth and he didn't live up to it - if he had they wouldn't be selling to us. You'd think they'd have to take at least a bit of a loss on him.
Poor old Paulinho was in Brazil's midfield for World cup 2014. Now - he's off to China to play in a backwater. Spurs effect.
Like you say, Malt, we need Prem experience. Great chance for him to get his career back on track and back into the national team
Could be a good signing a DMF player, which is something we are in need of, 6' 2", so sounds like he might be a bit of a beast!
Maybe not in everyone's case , but there is every likelihood that a pro footballer of that height and build and plays as a DMF player could well be!
Your friend is obviously a highly intelligent person. If he has any other comments please share them.
Sure happy to, perhaps you could get a personality transplant too? Personally I'd be very happy to secure Capoue, but I'm sure my view is of no interest to you either. Keep in touch x
No that's not a beast, it's a baby beast, could possibly join the academy, but couldn't play DMF yet, not beastly enough I'm afraid
Capuoue looking more and more likely. We re in talks for a season loan with option to buy. Spurs want to sell now. Lets hope this means the player has already to verbally to sign at least. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/wat...tenham-over-etienne-capoue-deal-10352613.html
No it's only after the price is agreed, the payment timings accepted, and all the details are buttoned down, that the player is told of our interest and after 5 mins of laughing followed by 5 mins of "no, seriously, you are kidding right ?", says nope.
I think, out of all the broken toys in the Tottenham FC car boot sale, Capuoue is seen as the one that is least broken and could possibly be fixed with some superglue and fishing wire.
I'm very confident he will be playing for us next season. Any player partly named after the greatest pop band of the 1990s is good enough for me
As the Standard says, we are after PL experienced players and with 24 PL appearances in the last two years, he fits the bill.
