N'Zonzi is a nice idea although it would leave us a bit overloaded with center midfielders.

The ones we have aren't ripe yet (Luiz and Nakamba) or injured (McGinn).

Bizarre he went there in the 1st place. I presume his agent knew how these clubs operate with young foreign players? Must have been "compensated" well in wages though.

Do you mean Lewie Barry going to Barcelona? If so, he's not foreign, they are. They're based in Catalonia in Spain.

heh. Technically the Catalonians believe they are not in Spain

Not overloaded in good ones though. We could do with a couple more of those

I'm not sure I'd want us to sign him. Think I'd have panic sweats seeing the N'Zo on the teamsheet and think the Zog was back in his floral print suit.

My blood pressure just spiked at the sheer mention of Chuck Insomnia

Nzonzi is exactly the type of player we need, if he could get back to near his best.

Even at 70% would be an improvement on what we have, and give the other players a lift. Good signing if true.

also be nice to have opposition complaining about rough treatment from one of our players for a change.

Nzonzi used kick everything that moved at Blackburn. We need someone like that urgently.

N'Zonzi would add height and physicality to the side.  Something sorely lacking.  4 tackles from midfielders against Man City, just saying!

We certainly need someone who can commit a tactical foul. The midfield is naive currently. I don't like tactical fouls but it's unavoidable. Jack gets kicked all over the park to break up our attacks. Until it's punished universally we must join in.

Is this N'Zonzi link actually credible, because he's only been at Galatasaray since August. I mean is it a season loan because i doubt whether we can persuade them to rip up the agreement unless we buy him
