Why would Tottenham sell him, is there another Capoue i'm unaware of ? recall something about them trying to sell him earlier this window but could have mixed that up with someone else indeed they are trying to flog him according to his agent The player’s representative, Martha Fischer, said: “The problem is not the player or Napoli – Tottenham just want a lot of money. What they’re asking for is absurd. But we are only on January 21, and there is still hope.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-transfer-news-etienne-capoue-3047338#ixzz2reCB70lW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Tottenham sell him, is there another Capoue i'm unaware of ? recall something about them trying to sell him earlier this window but could have mixed that up with someone else It's not that. Just looked at Douglas's tweets and he mentions Capoue but in regard to us wanting him, and Matuidi the season because Pardew wanted to go two pure DM's behind a creative three and striker. I think Douglas is hinting at a DM rather than a Cabaye type. Thing with that is we have no creativity without a Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the players are bought on price rather than what the team or Pardew actually needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Dont think Sherwood is that keen on him, but he's not the answer to replace Cabaye. He's much more defensive minded. Having another defensively minded player in midfield can give more scope to Ben Arfa (and others) going forward. Means they can pay less attention to their defensive duties.

Zero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Given his contract status and his unhappiness, it is kinda stupid money. Inevitable sales, just hope we can get someone in within 4 days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Douglas is getting at, he mentioned us trying for Matuidi the season before for the very same reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chizzletooth Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 £20m or £25m it matters not a jot. We'd be lucky to see £10m of it reinvested in a future window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think a lot of you are overestimating Cabaye's value. 20m seems reasonable to me. If I were the buying club I don't think I could have justified much more than that. And the comparisons with Mata... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 23m for a very good central midfielder at 28 is not a bad deal. Considering we only ever use transfer funds generated from player sales to purchase players and never TV money, Sponsorship or Gate Receipts, the silver lining is 23m is a good whack to get someone in.

Stuy_O Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Are we really ready to change system under Pardew though? Just keep it as it is with a player in the same mould as Cabaye. Not pissing about with more formations when most of our first XI were finally starting to settle down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtm_92 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think we should get someone like de jong from ajax but there is actually no point in speculating as we won't sign anyone, pardew will say we tried our best to hold on to cabaye but we cannot compete with sovereign states and kinnear will say we have got enough cover in midfield with ryan gosling and bananarama Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
