There will have to be some emergency Zs flown in, along with some apostrophes.

Apologies for maybe going over old news, but does anyone know how much Wigan paid for N'Zogbia when he signed there?

Not 100% certain, but I think £3.5m

According to Wikipedia (I know) it was £6m

Pleased to hear a fee has been agreed but I think I'll hold fire on celebrating until the personal terms are agreed......always worry about agents (& Whelan) trying to keep an auction going until last minute.



Whelan has just been quoted as saying he wants the deal done ASAP so hopefully this isn't the case.He must know that no other clubs are seriously interested

He's know all along that nobody else is interested, or at least had the cash to put in a proper bid. This is the way it was going to go all along. We had to move a little so did Whelan. He was doing the best for his club, we were doing the best for ours. It will work out well for both of us in the end.

Were you not adamant that this wasn't going to happen, or have I missed out on the sarcasm in your post?

we can't have had many players with the letter Z in their name. I would imagine when the club shop has ordered a set of letters, the Z's never got used. Probably a whole pile of them sitting in a dust covered box somewhere. Apostrophes might be an issue mind you.

Will this be our first ever apostrophized player?

I think so.

Frank O'Donnell, Allan O'Neill.



They're not really apostrophes!

I think you're right.  They are possibly just the English equivalent to the original Gaelic.

Even if they do, he won't be able to play as he hasn't got a work permit.

O is a word all by itself, signifying "grandson" when attached to a grandfather's name or trade. The apostrophe that usually follows the O actually comes from a misunderstanding by English-speaking clerks in Elizabethan time, who interpreted it as a form of the word "of."

Cracking deal if and when it's sealed. I've never been one to fall for the hype of Downing and to get a player at less than half his price is excellent. We need someone in the midfield with a bit of bite and i'd say we have a very good first 11.

If Parker goes to Spurs, that might be a possibility.
