midds Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Aye, good stuff. Honestly thought we were going to lose this lad for next to nothing this summer. I'm sure he was pretty fucked off towards the end of last season - let's face it, we all were - but he's got his head down and has obviously impressed Allardyce and wouldn't have signed for 5 more years had he not been happy with the club. PS. Got your text earlier Jon but I couldn't reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Gotta wonder how much he'd have been worth if we'd flogged him in the window. Another missed opportunity. Nah. It's brilliant news. Chuffed to bits! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just in the door, actually shouted "YES!!" really loudly when I saw the thread title. Dodged a massive bullet, to think we almost lost him for a pittance. Our best prospect wrapped up for the long term, fucking delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 if n'zogbia had started this season like he finished last i'd not be too happy at this,however he's had a good start, so good for our squad. don't see why roeders getting stick over n'zogbia, he bought a good player to compete with him for the place and n'zogbia didn't play well under the pressure. I don't really get whats wrong with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 So did n'zogbia ever sign that contract that was always " tbc"? Looks like the answer is no. People like wullie were adamant that he had based on an ambiguous line in the annual report. Looks like you can con some of the people all of the time, eh Wullie? Complete rubbish. The statement was as unambiguous as I have ever seen a statement be. Is it beyond your comprehesion that he was offered an extension at the time, which he agreed to, and he was offered another (and better) one now, which he also accepted? I don't see how you think you can take the mickey out of Wullie for something that was published in a year end financial report of the club, audited by one of the most respectable accountancy firms around..

Northern Monkey Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 At least if he wants to go to a big club we get some decent money. Its fucking great news, but lets not pretend that of he wants to go, he won't be going. Thats just the way of football. All we can do is what we are doing - get him signed up and try to fufil our potential. If we do THAT, we'll be laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just sniffer, he HAS to moan about everything. Even great news like this he couldn't possibly just say "Great news, very good player" he has to find something to moan about. Cheer up sniffer!

Meanwhile the other wasters who N'Zogbia had carried at times in the season kept their places. Roeder also went out of his way to take the piss out of N'Zogbia's best mate at the club, Boumsong, in public interviews. Woeful man management at its absolute finest.

Wullie Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 N'Zogbia didn't play well last year, nobody can deny that, but he barely played. He was on the bench for the first game against Wigan while Carr, Babayaro, Moore and Bramble started. That was an absolutely abhorrent way to treat him. Duff was woeful, N'Zogbia came on, played well, set the winner up.. and was on the bench again. It's no wonder from then on that he knew his time was up under that man, no matter what.

Point was more that Roeder almost went out of his way to make it difficult for N'Zogbia, bringing in a big reputation player in to compete with him for his spot. Ideally the player should get his head down and get on with it, but it's simply not the case in today's game. A talent like N'Zogbia knows he'll get better chances elsewhere, it's up to the manager to keep them happy and Roeder spectaculalrly failed to do that with our best young player.
