Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Dave]

Zogbia got dropped at the tail end of the previous season. I don't think he featured for the last couple of months.

Didn't he score the goal that virtually kept us against Fulham in the middle of April?

Charlie's last game was he first half of the defeat at Old Trafford.

[SoccerHQ]

Yeah he didn't start Sunderland at home and understandbly we kept the same team for the last 3 games after that.

[Toronto Villa]

I think it was a bit of myth that just grew because he was one of the higher wage players that hadn't really done it, and part of the McLeish era.

Yes, but at the same time, that was what got the other members of the bomb squad in there, and that was mostly about wages - Lambert even said as much with regard to Hutton.

sure, but while you can make the assumption he might have ended up on that pile, it still remains an assumption and no more than that. As for Hutton, it probably didn't help his cause that he was completely gash and a liability.

Wasn't there also an incident on Instagram last season where N'Zogbia told a fan who criticises him being on holiday that he "shouldn't comment as he doesn't know what's going on at the club" or something along those lines...?

This Moses story, is it Gospel?

Written in stone mate.

Read it on a tablet.

Apart from the extra whiff of smoke from his "if they'd let me train" comment.

I am sure Hutton being shit didn't help (although here's hoping he's stopped being shit now) but Lambert specifically said the issue with Hutton was his wages.

The whole bomb squad thing - regardless of where CNZ is one of them or not - was a great example of some of the utterly stupid decisions our leaders have made in recent years.

[Toronto Villa]

but the "let me train" thing was somewhat irrelevant in that he couldn't have played as it was behind the PL registration window, and it is conceivable that it could have been precautionary.

But on a wider point, yes, the whole "bomb squad" thing was completely stupid

Yep, where he was totally inept and looked disinterested.  I can't really understand why hopes are being held for him, as apart from the odd flash of quality, he hasn't really produced anything of note in his time at the club. 

[Clark W Griswold]

What the fuck would we want Moses for? I suppose to pick him for a year ahead of our own players. Great.

What the fuck did Everton want Lukaku and Barry for?

[edgysatsuma89]

I like how Moses is in that advert with rooney, ronaldo and messi, who all have their name on their backs, yet moses has fuck all. Like he could be anyone, they should have saved their dollar and just got a random.

[N'ZMAV]

If Moses had half the quality of either of those we'd be on to a winner.

Hear, hear

[Matt Collins]

Yes. N'zogbia did nothing in that season. Apart from score a vital goal v Fulham. And west ham. And help set up the winner v QPR. And two goals v west brom.

He's been a massive disappointment. But he's contributed a lot more than albrighton or Tonev did so surely it's an improvement on last season?
