Defensive midfielder Étienne Capoue....has anyone seen much of him? Heard he's good.

[enigma]

I've heard he's pretty good. Arsenal were/are apparently after him, so he's obviously doing something right. Just wondering if he could be the answer for a solid defensive midfielder if we can't get Fellaini. 

 

Can't watch any videos on him as my Youtube is ridiculously slow at the moment. Here's a link to a video that first came up on YT.

I'd have him over Fellaini anyday!

are there any rumours linking us to him?

I'd rather we made the most of Chalobah and Ake's prospects.

Yeah, but I don't see that happening. But I don't even know if Chelsea know about this guy. If not, maybe they should be informed. I don't know who could inform them though. If anyone on here has contacts with the club, then maybe they could give the scouts a heads up.

Me too. If we want a deep lying ball playing midfielder Benat Etxebarria is a good options, in the Betis games i've seen on sky he's been class.

Capoue is much more then a ballplaying midfielder. He would def add some steel and defensive ability to our midfield pivot...

Love Capoue about time we had a thread on him,we should buy him but i don't think we will.He is exactly the type of player we need right now same with Man Utd,i see him going in the summer most likely,2nd highest average rated player in Ligue 1 behind Zlatan.

Capoue and Lewandowski would be some smart buys for next season :)

[Soulo]

A decent player but I'm having my doubts whether he's good enough
