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

[Damo70]

Did someone mention Bill Kenwright without mentioning that he's a 'theatre impressario'? It wouldn't have happened in my day, standards are slipping.

I also thought it was the done thing to always state that he appeared in Coronation Street in the sixties too.

I once metioned Ryan Giggs without the words: 'Welsh Wing Wizard'.

It felt good.

[Dave Cooper please]

Like I said, i disagree that Van der Meyde cost £2m. The website I use for transfer details list the price as £7.9m.

Transfermarkt again isn't it?
Every other website has van der Meyde going to Inter for about £5million and to Everton for £2million, except Transfermarkt who have it at £10.5m and £7.9m!
And you trust this site for all your monetary facts when posting on here?
Forgive me for not really bothering to read much more you post until you broaden your research!

I've just heard that Sunderland have made a late bid for N'Zogbia that's been accepted by Whelan. Apparently N'Zogbia's agent has asked whether the player wants to talk to them, and he's interested. Don't shoot the messenger. Maybe the Sunderland fans did know something.

Heard where?

A mate of mine is a journo up there.

absolute bollocks-he is ours!

if it was everton id worry but sunderland -not a cat in hells chance!

[CJ]

Why would Sunderland wait until N'Zogbia was having his medical? I'd have thought if they were interested they would have matched or improved on our bid earlier in  the week. Can't see it myself but as we always say - wait til he's ITSOTP before celebrating

Hey I said I don't shoot the messenger. It was never going to be Everton. Their broke, and they have to sell first. Whelan wants this deal done as quickly as possible and he isn't going to wait for Everton to sell. Sunderland still have cash from the Bent and Henderson deals. This doesn't surprise other than why they waited so long. I hate Bruce.

[eastie]

although having read his comments last year id say hopefilly bollocks rather than absolute bollocks-Charles N'Zogbia wants to leave Wigan Athletic for Sunderland.

The Daily Star says N’Zogbia has told Wigan he wants to link up with his former boss Steve Bruce at Sunderland.

A source close to the player said last night: “Charles feels he has to get away to further his career. He knows there is interest from several clubs but would prefer a move to Sunderland and play under Steve Bruce once again.

“Like Titus Bramble before him, he doesn’t think it would be a problem having played for Newcastle.”

[Karl Bridges]

Didn't he say even if Liverpool or Arsenal come in he would still sign for us? No mention of Sunderland I suppose. I read his medical was being done over two days.

[Singapore Villa]

That better be a 'kin wind up TV....

Dammit !! Bruces master plan worked then.Foiled again !!!

[Maradona10]

Well it will come out soon enough but then why complete a medical at Villa sure he would just put if off and head up north, I heard SAFC it's nothing to do with the fee it's his wages!!!
