He's gone mate, PSG are pretty close to sign him up.

Sad though, we missed another quality signing >.<

We will probably sign another AM...

We should go for him what a great player young and would be rather cheap..

[mediator 2,026]

I just saw today that the owner of his club said "he could leave this summer if a decent offer comes, a bit better that the one from QPR (12M€ so something like 10,5M £).

That would be a great bargain if we could sign him for something like 11M £ he's worth it!

Tbh De Rossi for 10m plus Wallace on loan is more beneficial for us in comparison to paying 11m for this guy. Capoue is a good player but hes not as good as De Rossi, not as experienced and hasn't been tested on grander stages (world cups, european championships, champions league etc). Also Wallace will get playing time at Roma I'd hope so yeah. Could be a very beneficial deal.

One winner for me, De Rossi all day.

Capoué is a ball-winner, not a DLP. Completely different types of DMs, so no point in comparing.

They would best be used alongside one another in my opinion. One dictates the play, while the other does more of the dirty work.

+ Copoué is only 24.

De Rossi is hardly a playmaker though, hes a bit of both. He can play accurate long passes from deep but hes not exactly Xabi Alonso. Hes a ball winner as well.

Just sign them both. Pivot problems solved xD

This. De Rossi's passing and vision skills on FIFA are extremely over exaggerating his actual ability in those areas. =P

Potential midfield signing.

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Apparently hes stalling on a move to Cardiff as he wants a bigger club to sign him. Cardiff are reportedly paying 8.6m upfront with 1.5 in add ons, surely worth a punt at that price for back up to Mikel?

Looks like he'll be off to Tottenham. A player I really like, and I think we could do with in the pivot, going to a team I absolutely detest. Fuck them anyway. They'll lose Bale and won't be a significant threat to us anymore. 3 point lane!

[Pizy 18,858]

Capoue, Sandro, Parker, Dembele, Paulinho, Huddelston...

Wtf are they gonna do with all of them?
