Guest Brazilianbob Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Maybe Pardew has a Wenger-like plan to nurture one of them into a striker Was just thinking that Zoggy could make a decent striker but in the Defoe mold. He certainly looked the part at SJP for Wigan last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Just got a text and been told he's in talks with club. Betting suspended on Skybet also isn't it? Probably horse shit like.. but... I live in hope! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Can't be arsed to check if it's giggs, but MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Just spoken to a club insider. Neither Charlie nor Mevlut 'in talks'. 'Pure fantasy,' was the exact quote. #nufc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dunno about Zoggy potentially as a striker but I do remember some dreamy composure he showed once in front of goal for the Toon when he rolled his foot over the ball selling the keeper completely then slotting it into the net. Have a feeling it was a 3-0 win v Blackburn but may be mistaken... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Listening to Courtney on Talksport is like pulling teeth, jesus.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Oh well, I guess we have learned the last few days that with this leadership suddenly the player is standing in the hallway going by unoticed until he's on the pitch and everyone wonders who the f*** that is...

stozo Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm quite happy we are not going after him to be honest. £10m is a lot of money for a player who's primary position is left midfield where we now have four players who can play there. He is a quality player but I think the £10m could be much better spent on a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'd like N'Zogbia back but £10m for a player in the last year of their contract won't look like good business to Ashley. Sylvain Marveaux for free probably covered the area in the squad N'Zogbia could have filled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a quality player but I think the £10m could be much better spent on a striker. Newcastle have ended their interest in Wigan’s Charlie N’Zogbia while Chelsea’s £20million Dan Sturridge – although he has admirers at St James’ Park – is not a serious target. Now £10 million on Sturridge would be a great investment imho as the Ashley mandate is to buy and sell at a profit and could be worth £30 million at the end of next season if he keeps improving ,so worth a punt and i would be happy him wearing the no 9 shirt .

So we should buy £20m rated Sturridge for £10m. Why didn't Ashley think of that? I think we should buy him for £2m. Imagine the sell on value then!!!

He is a quality player but I think the £10m could be much better spent on a striker. He has played right midfielder of late, and is definitely worth the money. Why should it be one or the other? Because is it really sensible from a business and football perspective to be spending a vast amount of money on a player who won't be able to play in his primary position? Due to the nature of the wingers we have he is also not a lock to get a game on the right side as Ben Arfa, Jonas and Marveux can all play on the right as well as Barton. The reality is we have a budget to keep to and it is not a good idea to spend a large amount of that budget on a player for a position that is already well staffed.

Cronky Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 In Ben Arfa and Marveaux, we have players who would have a similar role to Zoggy. I can't see that we need him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJM Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Be prepared for more of the same..... nufc end their interest in £10m rated "x" as they find a cheaper injury prone alternative. Meanwhile Ashley continues to sell off players and line his pockets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
