New twist for Etienne Capoue

Mon Aug 05, 2013 11:28 pm

Diego Costa says he is happy at Athletico Madrid which has dashed liverpools hopes of signing him , therefore Madrid won't have the money for Capoue , So will he be holding out for a higher team much longer ?

Club and agent will want to push this as much as us.

It's increasingly looking less likely we are going to sign him, A deadline should be made to make his mind up. We can't be wasting time right now.

I doubt the club will want him to stay and the agent would want this done as much as like I said.

Out of interest how can Athletico not afford Capoue after receiving £50m for Falcao? Anyone know? :?

In massive debt, most of transfer fee went to paying that down I believe.

Interesting.

It's been long said in a lot of the foreign press that Madrid have to sell Costa to fund Capoue. At least we may now get a yes or no from Capoue.

The club has an insane amount of debt. Similar to Barcelona.

Daily Mail reporting we've pulled out, aren't they the newspaper who have been spot on with our transfer business this season?

They are yes. But the bid is still on the table and accepted so because we have been linked with other CDMs they are just saying we've pulled out.

So we are not committed to seeing this through and can pull out at anytime?

Shouldn't think so I suppose it can work both ways if nothing signed, something better turn up and we say 'sorry had your chance but we found someone else' not a lot he could do about it really.

ps. I hope he signs :malky:
