.At last the signing of N’Zogbia has been agreed after a week in which it was certain he would come but never actually officially signed.
Story is on the OS HERE (not actually up yet but the picture of him outside Bodymoor is on there)

So there is no doubt he is Downing’s replacement and sometimes you wonder why we took so long as it was obvious we had to compromise with Whelan. However it is done and that is the main thing and we can finally move on. He has signed a five year contract which is good but I will not pretend I think he is better than Downing or Young but for sure he is the BEST we could realistically aim for and get on limited cash.

Deal will be around £9.5M for him and lets hope he is as good as those two who have left but he is not a winger but more an inside forward. How he will link up with Bent drifting in will be vital to our season and whether the lack of crosses will be compensated by more through balls ?
