Looking at the list of Mino's clients there is one name that stands out for me - Etienne Capoue. He is a current French national team player in the holding midfield position. The recruitment of Fernandinho to me doesn't solve the defensive side of things. If we want Fernandinho to push forward in his dynamic fashion, Yaya can't be relied on to cover because of his defensive frailties. There is talk that GazBaz may be on the move so we really need to fill that holding role. So to me it's Capoue.
i really cant see Barry going unless he is replaced by another English player, the rule that every team must have 8 english players will dictate that, thats why i cant really see any english player going unless they really want to (Lescott maybe) but I could see Garry getting a one year contract and then sign a young english cm. And i wouldnt say that Capoue is the outstanding candidate for our needs, good, but i think we could do better
