Skirge Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 So I take it we out of the chase for The Zog Don't see why we would be. We have signed a left sided Frenchman already and wih HBA too then Jonas, I know we want Zoggy for the right but still be shocked if we do try and get him.

Chronicle article says Marveaux will provide competition for the left wing. You've kind of alluded to it in your post but we still need somebody to play down the right.

Stottie Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wigan have put him prominently in the shop window with their comments but they won't be in a hurry. It's just a case of waiting it out unless we want to pay 3m or so over the odds. Given Wigan's finances, I'd be amazed if they didn't sell him this window.

I hope so I would love us to sign Zoggy for the right wing but not sure its Pards plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think there's definitely a place for the Zog like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Remember we need to build a squad this summer (something we've been sadly lacking in recent years) and not just a starting XI so I don't see any reason why we won't still be after Zoggy. Who knows, we might even want him as a replacement for Jose at left back! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It seems pretty clear that we have a policy of trying to spend as least we can on transfer fees. We need another 2 strikers and they aren't likely to come for nowt (has Elmander signed a new contract?). I can't see us spending 9 million on N'Zog with a 5 year contract at say 50k a week. Don't see Ashley thinking that's good value. He's playing a high risk hand; we could be shit or very exciting. Must keep hold of Barton and Colo though.

Sifu Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thinking about it now actually, if the club is happy enough with Marveaux's injury record to take a risk on, then Ashley may think that we don't need N'Zogbia? I don't know like, would still love to see Zoggy back at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Remember we need to build a squad this summer (something we've been sadly lacking in recent years) and not just a starting XI so I don't see any reason why we won't still be after Zoggy. Who knows, we might even want him as a replacement for Jose at left back! As it stands it could be argued we have Barton, Jonas, Guthrie and Gosling as backup for Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Tiote and Cabaye. That doesn't look too bad to me. It's half of our first-choice midfield from last season as potential replacements. There's also Ferguson and Vuckic to consider, too, and maybe even Abeid depending on how good he actually is for his age. If any of the four listed as potential backup are going to leave/do leave (Barton, Jonas or Guthrie realistically - Gosling definitely won't), then yeah I'd like to see us ready to replace them/replace them, but as it stands I think the depth in midfield is good - certainly miles better than last season given that people are currently "fit" (ready for pre-season). I haven't even considered LuaLua, Routledge, Smith or Ryan Taylor, as it looks like the first two are going and I'd hope the other two would be shot of. The depth thing is being addressed in this area, as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think we will spend money btw. Like someone said in another thread, we're just getting the free transfers/contract clauses out of the way before anyone else gets them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Would love to be proven wrong like but there's just no way ashley is gonna spunk 10million on any player let alone zog. Be prepared for the asset stripping while we replace them with risky freebies or cheap get out clauses. Wouldn't be the first time we've been "misled".

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It's a proper shame how the Ashley regime has made so many people so fucking negative. this summer will truly define whether the ingrained negativity is justified really, i for one would be happy to end the summer in the knowledge that everything that has passed was down to incompetence and/or negligence and he's finally trying to make it work properly we'll see, i'm well entrenched in the negative side atm like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 cwarr07 Colin The Zog will soon be back on the Tyne, bid accepted, permission given to speak to Charlie #nufc Interesting as N'Zogbia, Marveaux and Ben Arfa do take up similar positions on the pitch...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Marvoux comming back from injury, Ben Arfa comming back from injury. And I don't see where they say its a crime to have more then 1 player able to take up one position... There is a reason why smith was on the pitch last year, same could be said about Raylor and Perch aswell... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
