At this stage I'd welcome bent Nzogbia and even Hutton back into the team. They can replace Weimann, Lowton and KEA who have all been useless

It would be like having Ribery in the team If Nzogbia was to come back in , we have gone backwards that much.

I predict this wave of nostalgia for NZogbia and Hutton has a sell by date of approximately 90 minutes after they actually start a game for us.

In Zogbias case, largely due to the fact I'm not sure Lambert has any idea how to use a player like that. He's probably as foreign to Lambo's thinking as Hleb was to McLeish at Birmingham.

It's frustrating though because CNZ has a shiteload of ability. If someone can harness it, we've got a 10 million pound player on our books who can score and create goals, and offer some flair we've so sorely lacked.

Indeed. The longer someone has been out of the side the better they seem in retrospect to many people. Surprised nobody has been advocating a bid for Simon Dawkins.

I reckon Dawkins is probably still at BMH, hidden away in a shed by day, then at night he goes and scavenges for food in the canteen.

I predict it would last substantially shorter in the case of Hutton.

I have the same feelings of nostalgia trying to remember the last time Agbonlahor and Weiman put in any kind of run of consistent performances for the team.

IF we was anything like a decent side then Weimann, Agbonlahor and Bent would be nowhere near the side. Not to mention N'Zogbia and/or Hutton. Bent's best days are way behind him. Poor sides can't afford to carry a player that doesn't contribute to the whole team.

Someones got to look after Mo Salifou. In his now emaciated state, he's got Dawkins doing the leg work at nights. I believe if you walk on the VP turf at a certain time in the dead of night you can sometimes see the ghost of Didier Agathe running (very slowly) across the pitch.

Probably our best fit striker. I'm guessing his goals to games ratio last season is better than Agbonlahors and Weimanns.
