NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Can Capoue play a bit of football?

 

He could at Toulouse. He is the ideal defensive midfielder, good positionally, good tackler and good passer. He was shunted to centre back at Spurs though and has only played 12 times.

I mean he and Sissoko came through together and while Sissoko was getting initial praise being the more all-action midfielder - Capoue is like 6'2, strong and quick. Think his range of passing is pretty damn good too and of course, he has that understanding with Moussa. He's better on the ball than Tiote, he's not prone to those rash tackles, he probably won't take crazy long shots that head out of play, etc.  But again - extra emphasis on his understanding with Sissoko. I do like his height and strength too.

Put it this way, I was bit jealous when Spurs signed him as I was hoping that Tiote would be sold and we'd pair the 2 together in the middle of the park.

If Tiote goes, I wouldnt be surprised if we are in for Capoue. Carr loves him.

 

I suppose it's possible. Linked with him in the past and out of favour at Spurs for whatever reason.

We've got a lot of new players, no one has a clue how we're going to line up at the start of the season.

:thup: he and Sissoko ran that Toulouse team, great pair.

 

I realize that's not exactly saying much. :lol:

United are just a couple of knocks away from a keeper crisis

 

Like virtually every single team in the world, then. :lol:

thats a new level of stupid even by his standards, having 2 goalkeepers who are at least competent is hard enough let alone more than that.

Man I can't stand Ryder. He's absolutely fucking robbing a living.

 

I wonder what kind of money he is on?

 

Anything more than a £5 an hour is disgusting for the drivel he puts out

It really is amazing. Reporters don't necessarily need to be Pulitzer caliber, but he literally can't write and he's not only conned the Chronicle's editors for years but he managed to secure himself a semi-regular gig with ESPN.
