Cajun Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Love it how his stock has fallen immediately he signs for someone else. Cracking signing for Villa - £9.5m (in today's market) is fairly modest and I wish he was here. No point saying 'I'm not bothered, he's average, blah, blah'when he's clearly a very good player. He's shit, never rated him tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Anyone genuinely dissing Zog as a player is talking out of their arse (and tbh not many people on here are), attitude is a question mark but that's all down to the manager. Anyway it seems obvious that our interest in Zog ceased the moment Marveaux signed, the punt being that we've got something similar for no capital outlay.....

LiquidAK Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Gutted we haven't got him, but tbh it's debatable how much playing time he'd get if Marveaux comes good, and Jonas and Ben Arfa also potential wing players. Let's just wait for the inevitable fallout with Mcleish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 That's business well done for Villa. Bit jealous really tbh. Think Bent, Agbhonlahor and NZogbia could be extremely dangerous this season even though rest of the team sucks. Not if Agbonlahor is anything like he was last year. A lot rides on N'Zogbia doing well. To be fair (and i say this as one who is not entirely convinced by him) Gabby was injured for most of the year, came back and was clearly still not fit, then got inexplicably stuck on the wing by Houllier. I think "the rest of the team sucks" is somewhat nonsensical too, to be honest. It's not a world beating team, but it's certainly not bad at all. I would say that swapping Downing for N'Zog and 10.5m is stupidly good business. McLeish has got a long way to go to convince me, but he's started quite well.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think this transfer saga is a perfect example of the status of our club at the moment I really bet we chose Marveaux instead of N'zog, if you are looking at clubs ambition.

JH Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's got very little to do with the fact we got him. It's the fact that Aston Villa, who I see as a current rival, have adequately improved (if not bettered) on losing Downing/Young. He's a great player and he'll be great for them, which is bad news for us. More than just 'meh we don't need him' tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I would say they have replaced Downing for a similar quality of player in N'Zogbia with less money than Downing. They are still down of Young and now have a manager who at best can be described as average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 What are the chances people are vastly overrating N'Zogbia on the back of us not landing him (or maybe ever being in for him)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 On the plus side Wigan now have fuck all in their squad who looks like they could keep them up. Rodegella and Moses maybe decent but they have no one providing them any service, surely their time is up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
