The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[RussellC]

The N'Zogbia to Everton rumour seems to be gathering pace on Twitter. Martinez had him at Wigan, when he produced his best football, so maybe he thinks he can get the best out of him again? Even if we didn't get much in the way of a transfer fee for him I reckon he must be on over £40k a week, so would certainly free-up some wages.

It's possible, he wasn't even on the bench yesterday.

I think this would be a good move for everyone, except Everton.

Sshhh!

No, we couldn't possibly afford to lose Cleverley and N'Zogbia to Everton, they're our best players.

Spoiler for Hiden:

The above is for the benefit of Martinez if he's reading this forum

Maybe if we keep saying it, people will believe it.

I would take a million for NZogbia and write him off now in fairness. He has been pretty awful since the achilles injury 18 months ago, and offered nothing this season. If we could get him off the books and it allowed us to move for a replacement I would do it.

[RussellC]

I can actually see us letting him go for free, in order to get him off the wage-bill. It's probably the only way that Everton would take him too. We can add him to the list of massively depreciated assets in recent history!

[mr underhill]

yes, the profligacy continued long after MON

That's the last thing I would do personally. We should at least get some of our money back, we paid enough for him.

I was excited when Charles signed, barring a few free kicks he has just been awful. Always looks like he starts running a half a step too late, constantly dribbles directly in to defenders and has no motivation to defend. If we have the opportunity to move him it has to be done, he will do nothing but stunt the growth of Grealish and limit Gil.

I agree, that would be the best outcome, but can you actually see anyone paying money for him and matching the salary he's currently on? At the moment he's nothing but a drain on resources and a waste of a space in the 25-man squad.

I think some team would, yes. I don't think something like £3m would be unreasonable and yes, he might have to take a pay cut. If Man City can try and get a fee for a player they've hardly used, then I'm sure we can with N'Zogbia.

But in much the same way we're seemingly refusing to pay £3million for Sinclair, I honestly can't think of one team who would give us anywhere near £3m for N'Zogbia. And I include QPR in that.

[PaulWinch again]

I have a feeling we'll still sign someone and in spite of what Lambert says it will be Sinclair.
