Cardiff bid 12 million euros for Capoue

Wenger was looking at him for a while, he obviously decided he isn't good enough.

whoscored.com is a fountain of knowledge

He is moving from a mid table Ligue 1 side to a newly promoted PL side. Tells the whole story. No half decent teams are interested, yet the mug of an OP thinks we are missing out.

Personally I don't think that's a good way to gauge a players ability Michu, Benteke, Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Ramirez all players that could arguably play for top teams that signed for mid table or worse Premiership teams.

Joey Barton, Stephane Mbia and Loic Remy battle for the title in Ligue 1 and fight relegation in the Premier League.

Michu was quality in La Liga, top scoring CM. Newcastpe are a biggish club who spend big.

Capoue was quality last season and pretty good the year before too and he hasn't even signed for Cardiff yet. Same applies Tommy you can't judge every player on logic like that because there's consistency, I prefer to judge a player by watching him. If he signs for Cardiff and we don't sign a defensive midfielder people will be saying we should of signed him by the end of the season bookmark this if you want.

people will be saying we should of signed him

people on here say we should buy anyone that anyone else buys

Okay fair play people/pundits will be saying hes one of the best defensive midfielders in the league.

Capoue was not quality last season. He had an average season.
