Etienne Capoue

[BD]

Anyone see this guy play before? Supposedly just as good as M'Vila, but a lot cheaper. From reading profiles, sounds just like the type of player we could do with. Any chance if it happening?

Capoué is rough around the edges but an interesting prospect that has been linked to Premiership clubs as well as Barcelona in the past...I've liked him for a few seasons now, thought for sure he was going to go to the Euro cup but was curiously left out...Captain of Toulouse; big, strong, fast, good vision and eager to get in on a tackle...Plays as a DM but I kinda liked him as a CB although that perhaps doesn't make the best use of his skill set...Leader on the pitch, for sure

He's done much better than M'Vila this past season and the one before.One of our most promising players in midfield in Ligue 1

TFC president Olivier Sadran & Man United chief scout David Friio hint in L'Equipe that #MUFC will make bid for Etienne Capoue next summer

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

David Friio? I thought United's chief scout was Fergie's brother.

Anyway, I don't know anything about this guy.

He is our French Scout, i think.

Investigated

He had been linked to Barcelona for 3 years, really like his game but it never came to fruition. Wonder if he could play as a central defender but he has a lot of great attributes to be a fine DM - super competitor too

David Friio never gets it wrong on football manager

Always released by United at end of the first season. He's a permanent fixture of my backroom staff.
