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

[Concrete John]

Take that back! "Nobody at Wigan has called me and my agent has not said anything. The possibility to play for Villa is something that I would like.

"I would be happy because they have greater aspirations than Wigan and the challenge interests me."

That sounds a LOT more promising.

So should we still trust you, or are you revising your opinion of this deal not happening?

[Maradona10]

If you make out in your head it's not going to happen and think the worst then you won't be disappointed when he actually doesn't. Reverse psychology!! But now i'm delighted so yes am revising my opinion.

[Toronto Villa]

And ours..

we are incredibly cautious when announcing anything. It generally means the deal is pretty much done. Expect a shirt stretching exercise which I assume is part of our physical to be posted on the OS in the next 24 hours.

Sunderland are in the driving seat here....

[not3bad]

Just had a text from Villa to confirm.

eh? Or is this just another reverse psychology thing where you position yourself as being in the dumps just so you can be cheered up by the news of his signature?

[Legion]

Pravda

The Club are pleased to confirm that we have agreed a fee with Wigan for French international winger Charles N'Zogbia.

We will now discuss personal terms with the player and arrange a medical, with a view to completing the transfer later this week.

[Maradona10]

Just hope its not too much later!!

[Ger Regan]

Smashing. And the "later in the week" part. It's as if they're going out of their way to annoy our more excitable supporters. Which is fine by me really!

To me, Merv's post was one of the few bits of sarcasm that actually work on the internet!
