There's a good player in N'Zogbia somewhere but i've been more impressed with Sinclair and he's only been here 2 months.

what I really like about Sinclair that he really gets himself into good goalscoring positions every game. He's scored three but we all know he could and should have 5 or 6 already. Give him a full season and he's easily a double digit contributor which is critical, plus whatever he contributes in setting up goals.

Sinclair's got to be more aware of his teammates positions and play them in when he can and not always opt for the shot.

Would like to see us cash in on Nzogbia in the summer. Think this is very much a temporary improvement and we might get a few million back based on a few decent recent performances.

We'd get £2m at best. Might be worth holding onto him if he has a few more decent games before the end of the season.

On the other hand getting that £2m plus freeing up another £2-3m in wages for the year could help us sign someone better. Hopefully.

If he continues to play like he has been he's a very useful asset.

If he's still here you watch him this time next season.

Potentially we may see more from him as he'll be in the last year of his contract next season so he will know he has to play well to get a decent move/contract. He'll be 29 in a couple of months so still has another 'decent' contract in him.

I think he's had some trouble at a paintball massacre.



I can just imagine in 20 odd years time some bloke signs up and posts on here stating that he's Charles N'Zogbia's son and as he was too young to remember can anybody share their memories of N'Zogbia's playing days at Villa Park. After a few hundred reads and no responses, somebody will eventually reply along the lines of "My lasting memory of Charles is how badly he dressed".

This will sound ridiculous but his car really annoyed me when he came - it was something sporty with a personalised plate and a really really daft paint job - matt black or something but it looked like a finish you'd get from painting it with Humbrol.

there's been a lot that's annoyed me about him, but his car isn't near the top of the list

If he drives like he runs i.e. looking at his feet, he needs a distinctive car for the safety of the other road users.

God knows why anyone with all that money and some free time would choose to go to an absolute cultural desert like Dubai.

I've got a bit of a soft spot for him. If we could harness him and get some consistency out of him he can be genuinely devastating.

I know staggering.  I don't get the appeal at all.
