I believe we haven't as yet.
I also believe the bid will be rejected as its below the offer of a potential £12m that they have already accepted. :ayatollah:

He's not coming in my opinion, hence why we moved for Mbia

i agree. But i also feel the only reason we havent pulled out is because of the work the players agent is doing behind the scenes. he knows the best deal for the player and himself(financially)is to join Cardiff.

I have been dismissive of the player coming from the moment he played in the friendly,but the longer it goes the better our chances are.



only time will tell. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Atletico Madrid is determined to enlist this summer Etienne Capua (25 years, 34 games and seven goals in Ligue 1 2012-2013). After an initial proposal of seven million euros Toulouse rejected by the Spanish club have indeed made a new offer of nine million, according to the newspaper AS.
The French international was not insensible to the advances of Atletico since he had asked a period of reflection in Cardiff, which has already reached an agreement with the TFC. The middle ground Toulouse seem more attracted to the Liga and the prospect of playing in the Champions League as the Welsh club, just promoted to the Premier League.

Thank fk for that. Not rated by QPR fans, bad attitude etc. Doubt he would pass Malky's dossier process. :ayatollah:

We have had the best bid accepted and that is currently still on the table.

The agent seems happy with this terms offered.

Toulouse will want the money from this to invest and agent will want this done also.

I still think we have a good chance.

I'm sure the agent is more than happy with our offer :lol:
Unfortunately it's not the agent we are interested in .

The saga is becoming a joke but the lack of news from an official source makes me think that we still have a chance .

Agree, the only official source that has published this so called bid being accepted is walesonline and we all know what they are like. If the bid has been accepted don't you think sky sources would have been all over it as it would have added fuel to the fire with the Bale saga.
