stalker Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Does anyone else find this reminiscent of the Woodgate/Rooney debacle, sell your best player in one position then put in a stupid bid for a player in a position you are already well covered in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'd hate £12m of the Carroll money to go on N'Zogbia. We let him go for almost nothing FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Btw anyone confident in us spending the Carroll money wisely to 'rebuild the squad' needs to have a think about if this ridiculous effort had been accepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antec Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is this honestly for real? N'Zogbia couldn't wait to get away, why the fuck would he come back? Surely they could have picked a more realistic player to try to take the piss out of us with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Zoggy was loved here until he took his huff under JK, the form he is in bow he would improve us. Would he have came back? Did the club really want him? paying double what we sold him for. If it wsas just a maje a bid to fool the fans then why for Zoggy ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Btw anyone confident in us spending the Carroll money wisely to 'rebuild the squad' needs to have a think about if this ridiculous effort had been accepted. I did wonder at the time that if Whelan hates Ashley that much, he might consider accepting for the shits and giggles of the aftermath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not that I believe the bid was genuine, but hasn't Zog been playing up front for Wigan? Genuine as in we meant it? Because Whelan confirmed we did actually bid. Genuine as in actually expecting a former player to come back, from a club who's owner hates Ashley more than most. I don't know what's worse really, if the bid was fake then it's transparent and stupid as fuck, if it was real then he's stupid and ignorant as fuck.

Flip Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 £12 million for N'Zogbias talent is nothing compared to £35 million for Carrolls talent. However, yes his attitude is shit, and I'm glad he's not here. Him and Ireland might really have fucked the squad over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just like a debate? What? So you believe that he genuinely bid for an ex-player, in the last half an hour of the window, trying to buy the best player from a club in a relegation fight, who's owner despises Ashley, and expected it to not only to be accepted, but for a player with previous problems with us, and who is well known for sulking, to agree personal terms in half an hour? The prior evidence being the 'bid' made to Sunderland for Keiron Richardson, who was then our local rivals' best player. It's all in line with his stock, discount price P.R.

JH Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes. In fact, the way you spell it out there, it's an incredibly 'Ashley' thing to do Not saying it would have ever happened like, but I wouldn't put it past him to think "Mike you're a genius! Derek, pull the car round!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes. In fact, the way you spell it out there, it's an incredibly 'Ashley' thing to do it is. however i think 12mill is a very good price for the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Btw if anyone is interested, Steve wraith also got a txt from N'Zogbia last night saying he wanted to come but Wigan wouldn't allow it I'm sure he wanted to come, the cynicism that greeted the bid is understandable but it is highly unlikely that the club would have gone for him if there wasn't an indication from N'zogbia that he was up for it. Whelan turning it down is totally understandable, any chance Wigan might have of staying up would reduce significantly if he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaun Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Btw anyone confident in us spending the Carroll money wisely to 'rebuild the squad' needs to have a think about if this ridiculous effort had been accepted. Huh? 12m on someone of Zogs talent is creditable, especially at that late stage of the window. No doubt he'll stick in a transfer request again in the summer and (if nobody else gets to him first) we'll pick him up for 8-10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for them, at that point in time, he was worth 40m+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Starting to lose faith in Newcastle fans after reading some of the posts in this thread, seeing all the conspiracy theories. Luckily this forum doesn't represent the view of the average fan. Personally, i was pleased to see the club are prepared to reinvest in the squad.
