N'Zogbia was way better than Richards as at least he had a couple of games where it could be described as him having a good game. Whereas Richards hasn't even had a 10 minute spell for us that could be classed as average let alone good.
Quote from: ChicagoLion on December 20, 2017, 12:31:32 AMI think he is crocked. Bruce certainly alluded to that.Not sure if his instagram is blocked now but he posted a picture of him watching Joe Hart play for Torino last season and a few Villa fans had a pop at him. His response was along the lines of you'd struggle to play too if you had the knees I have.For whatever reason he obviously can't get fit and I'd imagine he'd struggle to pass a stringent medical anywhere else.

Worth remembering that he turned down an additional £30k per week on offer from Sunderland so he could sign for Villa. I really dont think its a case of him not being interested in playing, hes just not physically capable.

He had all the tools but just couldn't give a fuck. The others were just hopeless footballers.The amount of money we spent on N'Zogbia (fee and wages) was scandalous. Stas is a bit harsh because of his terrible injuries, but I would add Stephen Ireland to that list. Stephen Ireland, Player of the Season - 2011/12 you mean? The very same one. Only played the full 90 minutes on 11 occasions that season, so obviously fully deserved!! Given that we didn't have a manager at the time I could never understand which eejit sanctioned the transfer. We should have simply got more cash for Milner for the new manager to spend.

that would be like a turkey voting for Christmas - no way is this knobhead going to voluntarily give up trousering 30k plus a week.
