Good luck son. You start as N'Zogbia's understudy so pay attention and learn all you can.

This post should result in a ban of some sort.
Hasn't he been punished enough already?
That post was obviously the result of a prolonged period of sensory deprivation.

Well money talks and we can't expect to keep N'Zog forever, however likely that seems now  :o
I can only deduce we've bought this raw kid in anticipation of that fateful day.

Great signing. Shows some real intent.

Had a few American friends text me today and say it was a great signing too. Seems people are taking notice of Tim is doing!

Just like learning the trumpet from Miles Davis.

N'Zog often plays football in a jazz style.

With no obvious rhyme or reason to what he is doing.

Happy with the player. One question doesn't a three year buyback clause mean this is just a loan really? Or are they typically at much higher sums than the sale price? Not familiar with this kind of thing so insights would be good.

They're higher, but not normally much higher. Barca don't tend to activate them for a small bit of profit, see Romeu who's gone to Southampton.

thanks, seems like a pretty good deal for them though. If he ends up being the next Messi then they can have him back anytime.

Yeah true, but ultimately if he does and we get that for a couple of years I'll be happy.

To paraphrase Lady Grantham: do you think any of them know what the others are doing?

I can't remember the last time we bought a player from one of the really top clubs in the world.

Bowery?

Good shout.

Laursen from Milan? Turned out okay.
