brummie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think Villa are going to be shit anyway. McLeish will be a terrible. When he came, I was despondent and convinced we were doomed. Now I think he'll do ok. Did I sound convincing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It wouldn't have been a sure-fire thing by any stretch of the imagination. The excess baggage is huge. A lot of the dressing room that he fell out with the first time around is still here. Could just as easily have come here and gone back into Insomnia-mode because he wasn't being started ahead of Jonas/Ben Arfa/Marveaux for whatever reason. I suppose it's pointless speculating now.

Consortium of one Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I want to see if they agree personal terms. I won't believe this deal is done until I see him in a Villa kit. If I was a gambling man, I'd bet he doesn't agree terms. Why would they not? I think he's going to be hard to sign. I think he's a good bet to overplay his hand and ask for too much.

STM Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Turned down McLeish before but i think Villa are certainly more attractive than Birmingham. He will join them but like i said i'm just glad he's not going to Spurs, Liverpool or dare i say..... the scum. To think Dogleash paid double that for Downing, what a tit.

Still cannit understand that at all, like. Downing has been brought in specifically feed Carroll IMO, whereas Zoggy is a more of a player who wants to go for glory and win games himself. Probably wouldnt have worked as well him going to Liverpool. I'd rather have Zoggy for his price than Downing mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Would be interesting to know his wages at Villa. Who had been falling out with him a few years ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it's a good move for him to join a club going for the top six and even if the likes of Liverpool or Arsenal come in late he'll be going to Villa because in the last few weeks they've done a lot for him. Cites Bent and Agbonlahor as good players he'll be joining. Says it's a good challenge for him and he was always intending to leave this summer rather than see out his contract because it's what is best for everyone including Wigan.

Ishmael Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 'Going for the top six'. It is a step up for N'Zogbia, wouldn't go as far as to call it a good move. He's basically one rung below where he should want to be at this stage in his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically one rung below where he should want to be at this stage in his career. He's a couple of rungs below IMO. He could play for anyone in the league. And yet he's signing the deal, because he believes Villa are making ambitious strides for the top six. http://www.unitedfornewcastle.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/jose.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a £6.5 million offer to 'derail' the move. Then they can say that they tried, but were unsuccessful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
