oldtype Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Perhaps fuck all has actually happened with him, the whole idea of Villa bidding 9m was bullshit, and the media are trying to cover their asses by adding new "twists?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Apologies - that N'Zogbia story I linked is from July 15th. Here is this morning's update... Speaking in Germany, the Sunderland boss also declared his interest in Charles N’Zogbia to be dead after the deal became “too rich” for the Black Cats.

tmonkey Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Can't understand why N'Zogbia hasn't been ahead of the likes of Young and Downing in the 'big teams'' pursuits. Better than both, imo. Probably that perceived bad boy "Le Sulk" attitude putting a few of the bigger clubs off. Also a bit selfish on the ball imo. He's a bargain for £10m though, certainly for a club like ours who could do with the unpredictable goals he can provide. Stick him on the right and do what Bayern did with Robben, i.e. have the rest of the team play a normal team passing game, then when he gets the ball let him motor his way towards goal.

Guest Heneage Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's supply and demand. He's hardly been committed to Wigan and irrespective of his good performances his questionable attitude will put teams off. I know it might not seem important but he is only 12 months from being a free transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nah, he's not better than Young. Better to build a team around perhaps, but not better as a component in a machine like Man U. Time will tell, but at the minute I cannot disagree with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Still simmering about this whole thing. Villa won't only have a better player on their books than their previous winger, they'll be absolutely pissing themselves all the way to the bank. Can't understand why N'Zogbia hasn't been ahead of the likes of Young and Downing in the 'big teams'' pursuits. Better than both, imo. because the guy is a **** who most his team mates dislike off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If he's not joining us then I'd love to see him stay at Wigan to run down his contract whilst playing appallingly bad because he doesn't care about the club. I absolutely detest Dave Whelan and would like nothing more than to see Wigan get relegated and then listen to what he has to say after all the shite he spouted about us and Ashley.

Guest johnson293 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 But surely Wigan can't really afford for him to walk away for nowt next summer, so you'd think they'd be a bit more realistic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 They know they can sell him on the last day of the window and will see how high the bidding goes before then. These sports shop magnates, eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan's ace at this, wringing every last penny out of a deal, but if he's going to arse around till the last day of the window, then we need to move on elsewhere.

I think he should consider himself lucky if he gets £7-8m for Zog in the last year of his contract. He'll capitulate as it gets nearer the close of the window but it would serve him right if the deal fell through and Zog walked for free next season.

If it keeps them up again then it's job done. £8m as opposed to £40m? Serve him right ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
