Fuck sake, was looking forward to the end of him

1 more year before that particular party I'm afraid.

N'ZONZI REJECTS STOKE DEAL

Steven N'Zonzi has turned down Stoke's offer of a new deal and because he wants to quit the Britannia, according to the Daily Mirror.

N'Zonzi has just one year left on his current deal and the Potters are keen to tie him to a longer contract but the midfielder is keen to move away in order to enhance his chances of playing for France at next year’s European Championships.

Now that would be an upgrade imho. Whether he'd want to come is moot, but you never know.

A couple of years ago another poster wanted us to sign N'Zonzi and everyone said how shit he is.

I think Nzogbia is my least favourite villa player ever

I know N'Zogbia is my least favourite villa player ever.

That was me!

Edit: I didn't have the balls to have conviction with the suggestion though. I kind of knew it would get panned.

Arrogant waste of talent

Not sure he's arrogant. He strikes me as half arsed. In all my years watching football I've never known a winger so reluctant to cross a ball.

Yeah N'Zonzi we should have signed 3 year ago off Blackburn. Oh well, let's do it now.

N'zonzi would be a great signing and someone TS would be interested in.
Honestly cannot see him wanting to come, he isn't happy with stokes ambitions, can see him looking for some Europa action.

Stoke is a small club though, villa size wise would be s step up and he may want to play under sherwood (tenuous Blackburn connections ?)

If Huddlestone was a decent player, he'd have gone somewhere better than Hull when he left Spurs.

To be fair, he was decent as was Curtis Davies when they first went to Hull, Bruce was bigging them up for England call ups.

I recall around that time that Delph totally dominated Huddlestone in a game, its fair to say the career paths of both have taken differing paths in the 12 months since.

Hull fans would be scathing of the contributions of the likes of Huddlestone last season, is he the type of character we need in the bottom half of the league next season? As for his attributes, big but doesnt offer a physical presence, decent shot but rarely scores, slower probably than the likes of Sanchez, Westwood and Gardner. Exactly the player we should be avoiding like the plague imo.

Robbie Earle made a decent point last term that our squad has a suspicious retirement home look to it - adding the likes of Richards, Sinclair and Huddlestone to that motley crew is a bad idea imo. No harm to have some experienced pros in the squad in their career departure lounges but we have too many currently.

Re Robbie Brady, certainly has ability and did well to displace the highly rated Robertson in an unfamiliar position for him at Hull last term. Fine left foot and has the potential to improve. The problem with him is that he has always had the potential to improve (Ireland/Man Utd youths etc) but Id question whether he has the desire or temperament to really do it. Still at a reasonable price would be worth a punt I feel as an improvement on Nzogbia, Tonev et al. Even though MON has him playing left back for Ireland, I dont think he has a future in that position to be honest. When Stephen Ward is the only competition its not much of an honour.

Why is Richards signing adding to  The "retirement home feel" of the squad. He's 26 and with a little bit of luck has his best years (performance wise) right ahead of him. It's not like we've gone and signed Wes Brown on free😜
