Aston Villa sign Charles N'Zogbia (Reply#1151)

[john2710]

According to Whelan there are other bidders, but unlike the Villa he doesn't go on to name them. Probably because they don't exist. Whelan put one over us on Martinez, I can't see RL letting him do it again. There will, eventually, be a compromise. I hope!!

I can just imagine DW smirking with that I've just put another one over that colonial Yank if he manages to get it upto 10 mil. It wouldn't surprise me to see him then try upping it 10.5 mil and it would be lovely to see it all blow up in his face.
Don't think Mr Lerner is a soft touch and this will all be filed away for the future.

DW strikes me as being a typical northern self made millionaire who wants to teach the newcomers a bit about how things are done up'ere.

Patience my friend

Hopefully we'll get him for the widely reported 9M - A mill is a big deal for both clubs in the current climate

[Greg N'Ash]

We should pay them the 10m but put in a clause saying if N'zogbia acts like a dick or puts in a transfer request within 12 months we get the extra million back. Easy money.

The latest news is that we've had a bid accepted,also that AM is at his daughters' graduation ceremony, that's why he's not in HK yet.

I believe the second part of this - the first, it's gone beyond hope, more boring than a Coronation Street omnibus !

We've all said things that are a bit over the top, but insulting Corrie is going too far.

Please take it back.

Ok, I take it back

[Karl Bridges]

N'Zobia's a done deal then?

[TimTheVillain]

Nah, the ink just won't dry - I think it's invisible ink though, so may cause a few probs at the FA.

[Irish villain]

This is such a protracted affair in what has been, so far, a summer of 'meh'.

Makes the days of waiting for MON to get his finger out in a transfer window seem possitively compelling!

[TheSandman]

At least then we had songs.

[CJ]

Yeah and unlike MON signings at least we're not limiting our targets to UK-based pla.......

Oh

Please tell me how this happened because as far as I know Martinez never had an interview. 

Now, if you mean 'put one over us' in the sense that he backed Martinez into a corner then you might have just the slightest flicker of a point.

One of those non-events that is now taken as a fact I'm afraid - MARTINEZ SNUBS VILLA is a better headline than Martinez Reminded of Contact by the Ultimate Corner Shop Chairman.
