Capoue signs for Cardiff

According to twitter and sources in France.

@TonyRivers1927: “@rodriguezvince: Transfert # football ligue 1. L'international toulousain Capoue signe à Cardiff. Transfert 10 millions + 2”

???

Great news if true.Time will tell if he has signed. Just what we need.

Not getting too excited as I've learnt well from the Bent and Ince deals.

Nevertheless, this would be a wonderful signing should it become official.

: Reports from Toulouse's main radio station are hat Cardiff City have completed the signing of Étienne Capoue for £10 million. From Twitter

Would love this to be true

Ooooo I thought you had confirmation then. You dragged me back onto the board AGAIN.

Lets hope its confirmed soon.

Taking it with a pinch of salt.

According to a big french radio station hes signed

Just went onto newsnow searched capoue cant do links. There was a french site said offre 10+2. So i pressume thats what we've offered and no deal yet?

from what I have heard capoue/his agent did not turn up to meet malky yesterday. Not saying the deal is off or anything as there may be a legitimate reason for the no show.

Don't care if I get shot down for this just passing on what I heard.

Cardiff City are on the brink of smashing their transfer record for the second time in just a few weeks as they look to land France international midfielder Etienne Capoue.

Bluebirds boss Malky Mackay, seeking to bolster his team for the Premier League campaign, admitted the transfer was “at a delicate stage.”

But French radio stations have reported a deal worth 10million euros had already been done between the Bluebirds and Capoue’s club Toulouse,

Tweets from one news organisation across the channel even went as far as saying ‘Capoue signs for Cardiff.’

Bluebirds representatives were in France at the end of last week trying to finalise the move for six-times capped midfield anchorman Capoue, who is also wanted by Athletico Madrid.

If Mackay gets his man , it will be the second time he has shattered Cardiff’s transfer record in barely a month.

At the start of July, the Bluebirds captured Danish striker Andreas Cornelius in an £8million deal from FC Copenhagen.

Mackay confirmed he was really hopeful about also getting Capoue, saying: “We’ve been in constant dialogue with Toulouse for the last week.

“They have been excellent to deal with, but it’s pretty delicate at the moment.

“We’re in discussions and negotiations – it’s ongoing. You can’t be confident until the player is standing in your own club’s jersey.

“If ourselves and Toulouse have come to an agreement then we have to have discussions with Etienne and his advisors. They have been very professional.”

Capoue was left out of Alain Casanova's Toulouse team in the pre season friendly against French amateur outfit Rodez on Saturday night.

Grab your parachute fella Find it hard to believe that the players agent wouldn't meet Malky to atleast hear what kind of deal is on offer. Fingers crossed he signs for us

mate i hope he signs for us to. he is meant to be a shit hot player after all united madrid and other clubs have been watching him. just from what i was told it seems he is using the interest we are showing to stir things up and hope another more established premier league club comes in for him. seems like another ince/wanyama to me. a lot of people very excited but just didnt come through.

yes malky has said that they have been very professional, i dont think that he would come out and say anything other than that do you? he does say that things are delicate why upset the apple cart with a silly comment when there is still a chance that he could still pull off the signing of the season.
