Not shocked, far to good for us to get sign without a bigger club coming in. Actually quite glad. Huge talent but we'd be nothing more than a stepping stone to him and I don't see him being loyal. M'Bia and Huddlestone will do me nicely.

Capoue set for £8.6m Tottenham switch after Toulouse chief reveals midfielder will sign for White Hart Lane outfit

Tottenham are looking to solve their defensive crisis with a move for versatile Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue.
Talks will continue on Thursday with an £8.6million deal agreed for the France international who has been the subject of offers from Cardiff City and Atletico Madrid.
The 24-year-old is a defensive midfielder but at 6ft 2ins tall is equally adept in central defence.
Tottenham need re-inforcements after selling Steven Caulker and having injury concerns over Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul. Capoue will also challenge Sandro and prove an alternative to Scott Parker who is destined for QPR. Toulouse president Olivier Sadran said: 'He will go (to Tottenham).'
Capoue, who scored seven goals in 34 league games last season, could even fly to London today for medical tests.
He was considered by Andre Villas-Boas in January and the Portuguese looks to have got his man barring any last-ditch bids from elsewhere.

On to the next target. Hope it's not Mbia though, would much rather raiding Spurs again and going in for Huddlestone or Parker.
