Charles N'zogbia update

[Mister E]

2 and a half years' left! God, it feels like he's been 'with' us (i.e. at the club but not really part of it) for a lot longer. Let's hope we can offload ASAP (doubtful with his wages, and poor performance record).

[FrankyH]

And Albrighton has been recalled by the sounds of it.

Hope he gets a chance in the first team soon.

Should have left him another month there.

I'm a bit pissed off with this whole "he's earning big money so bomb him out" attitude there seems to be. Not just from Lambert and the club but also the fans too. It's ridiculous really.

Who has this attitude? I certainly see an "he's earning big money and offering fuck all, so bomb him out" attitude, and I've no problem with that.

Why is it ridiculous when his performance levels have been so poor and his attitude hardly inspiring?

Are we, as a club, allergic to high wages now? Yes, N'Zogbia has been disappointing but we've seen glimpses of what he can do. He deserves another chance.

Who would you rather see on the right wing - Weimann or N'Zogbia?

[dcdavecollett]

He improved last season. He might have maintained and/or developed that this season.

Still, I expect his squad number  reveal the manager's outlook.

since you ask, I'd prefer Weimann, Bacuna or even Albrighton, because I would at least be assured of commitment and effort. Carrying Charles through a game on the off-chance that he might do something is not an option for us at the moment ... Although I accept that we need more flair.

If he was only injured he'd surely have had a squad number ? Wtf is going on ?

I thought he has a squad number but it was a high one from what I recall in the 30s?

bit like Richard Dunne

Call me crazy, but if Lambert doesn't want to use N'Zogbia as a winger or attacking midfielder, he'd still improve our team as an attacking left-back- a position he played numerous times for Newcastle.

[Villafirst]

After witnessing such crap on Saturday N'Zogbia would walk back into the team if he can attain his fitness. A talent when in full flow can unlock a defence - creativity we desperately need. I'd bring him and Gardner back and drop KEA in particular who is completely useless.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Bowery was on the bench ahead of Gardner on Saturday. Not sure Lambert rates him.
