Jack Flash Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It's unforgivable if we don't even try for him. He'd improve us in so many ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It doesn't seem like anybody in the media has a clue what's actually going on with N'Zogbia so I wouldn't put much stock in all this paper talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sunderland confirm they will not bid for N'Zogbia. Now i think its between us and Villa. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7029358,00.html Cats deny interest in pair Defoe and N'Zogbia speculation played down Last Updated: July 9, 2011 11:22am Sunderland have told Sky Sports News they will not bid for Jermain Defoe or Charles N'Zogbia. The Black Cats have been busy strengthening their squad this week and the arrival of David Vaughan on Friday took the number of summer signings to nine. Reports had also suggested that Defoe and N'Zogbia could be on their way to the Stadium of Light in the near future. Defoe's future has become the subject of speculation after he admitted his frustration at a lack of regular starting opportunities with Tottenham last season. N'Zogbia has also been linked with a move away from Wigan despite manager Roberto Martinez expressing confidence that he will stay. However, Sunderland have now informed Sky Sports News that they have no plans to make a move for either player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antec Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 My guess is that we wont pay 9M+ for a player with one year left on his contract so we're playing the risky (and understandable) game of waiting until deadline day approaches so we get a cheaper deal. Hopefully we've tapped him up so he'll hang on for us I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens with Jose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Should have seen all the mackums faces this morning when they realised we were still in the running to sign the Zog. Green with envy they were. One said "well we have Gyan, 100 times better than any striker you'll ever have" - to which I smugly pointed out Demba Ba's record. He didn't know where to look, just hid his face and walked out of the room, t***. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 He's a decent player and I would have had him here but lets not forget himself and Gardener are half of the midfield we overturned twice last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As the days go by, the less confident I get about us actually putting in a bid/N'Zogbia actually signing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 He's a decent player and I would have had him here but lets not forget himself and Gardener are half of the midfield we overturned twice last season. I think Gardner is bang average at best, he's never stood out for me, he's popped up with some cracking strikes but nothing special. Very similar to Gibson. I like Larsson, think he could have offered us a lot in terms of our squad but sure he was after something like 40/50 grand a week when we were first after him which is a stupid amount of money for a squad player. I'd still be trying to go all out to get Charlie back for the Toon. Class act! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Still want, but cant see them seeing him as a priority with Barton here. Marv, Jonas, Tiote, Cabaye, Barton already for a 4 man midfield if you dont include Ben Arfa. Cant see them coughing up 9m just to put another decent player on the bench. Money will go on a striker mostly i reckon & much cheaper 2nd option. Interesting to see if they were banking on Zog being available still in Jan though.

Wait a month or two and his value will fall as Whelan panics. Not that I think we'll sign him, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that for Sunderland. Villa are waiting to see if Downing goes before signing Zog and Liverpool are waiting to see if they get Downing before putting a bid in. If we were serious about going in for him then we'd be in there now while villa and Liverpool haggle over Downing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 When other clubs are seriously interested, we rarely seem to get the player through the door. Marveaux being a rare exception perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
