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...
ponsaelius 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. He's NOT a left midfielder anymore. 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...

JH Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Where is the 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. 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!!! £20 million rated i must have missed that sauce ? Err.... Newcastle have ended their interest in Wigan’s Charlie N’Zogbia while Chelsea’s £20million Dan Sturridge... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJM Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Correct toonpack and the plan is to recoup as much as possible before selling up. So don't be too disappointed when we keep narrowly missing out on these £10m rated 'targets'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I still think we are in for him, where just playing games with Wigan to try and get them to lower the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I still think we are in for him, where just playing games with Wigan to try and get them to lower the price. I'd love to see how that works. NUFC: "£8m for N'Zogbia then?" WAFC: "£12m." NUFC: "Ok then, we're no longer interested in the player". WAFC: *thank fuck for that, let's drop it to £8m* NUFC: "Haha, only joking I had my fingers crossed. £8m it is then". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Not the best news to read........hope we are actually still interested! If not, then it's a massive shame - he would have improved the team dramatically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Didn't someone on twitter say we definitely weren't interested in Ba? Wouldn't be surprised at all if we're already in negotiations. That's how we roll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungen Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 From Skysports: "We've suspended betting on the transfers of Charles N'Zogbia and Alexis Sanchez following significant backing for them at short prices to join Newcastle and Barcelona respectively."

Ketsbaia Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 i'm refusing to believe we're not in for him because it wouldn't make sense. he's mint, we need him, the fee is reasonable and he wants to come back. hopefully we'll do a u-turn like Ba and theres plenty of time to do that. i can't see us sitting back whilst someone else goes for him.

More like we offered around 8-9 million which they turned down, and we wait till the end of the window and hope they want him gone before he runs down his contract.

That's how we roll. Think Douglas said a few weeks ago that we weren't in for Ba because of concerns about his injury. He's proven to be one of the more reliable sources on twitter, but I wouldn't take his word on Nzogbia as gospel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He's just written an article suggesting Ameobi will be in the first Xl next year. I think the blokes marginally less clueless than some, but still a f***ing disgrace to journalism - if there is such a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Did Douglas know anything at all about Marveaux? If not then I'd doubt the credibility/reliability of his source. Might just be a secretary at St James' he's slept with (think that's what Martin Jol on here has for his Spurs ITK source?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie jamie Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I think he knew something was happening in the morning before it was announced. But dont think it was mentioned in days leading up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
