Whether he wanted to come here or not via fake/real agent the signs weren't positive on Barnetta. N'zogbia was never going to come here either. He's a marked improvement to the squad provided it happens. I'd have preferred Barnetta probably but it's looking more positive that a day from Pardew stating publicly that players are needed we've seen some positive movement for once, albeit quite late in the day. LB and striking options worry me more though 'Pards'
