Charles N'Zogbia joins Villa

[Liquidator 5,176]

Dave Whelan was asking for about £10m for him which is pretty good value although I would not be surprised if he took advantage of the amount of money we have and push the price up for us a bit

He is 25 so I would say that he has probably not peaked as well although his attitude could be a problem (I don't see him as a week in week out starter for us)

i think The Zog is quality....I'd have in in the team any day...20 mil for young and downing, this guy is better than both IMO. You'll never see Young or downing do this to win a match http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcaz_AiqhCk

Edit: Against A Big Team

[SeB 1,281]

What I like about him is that he is decisive in the big games, his game has little waste because the number of opportunities that his team provides will not allow it. So he knows when to do what and when it should not be, contrary to Johnson or Downing who are stereotyped catapults and too bad if an important part of the balls they provide are inexpoitables for their team mates

N'Zogbia has a good response against players stronger and when he can accelerate, he is very good to pass 2 or 3 opponents. When he goes inside, he always obtain something

Despite all his first controls are not extraordinary neither his ability to steer the game, but it's quite logical because it is essentially a winger. His passing is in the standard, I think in a big team it would not be so for at Wigan

Why we aren't going for him is really beyond me. Just what we need and a bargain price.

The price would be £15-18m if we were to bid, imo.

I've always felt, whenever we've played a team in which he's in, that he's the main threat. Certainly a sharp and dangerous player, although I've not seen enough games with him to have a strong opinion. I know a few years ago I thought that he would be a good addition to us whenever I saw him playing... But I don't believe he's ever been linked to us, has he? Wishful thinking probably, I can't see it happening.

Great player. Annoyed to be missing out on him.

Annoying if we could've got him for 10m as well but as mentioned earlier I suspect we'd have been charged rather more.

Place your bets on how long he will last at villa, seems to be a bollocks for forcing through transfers, refusing to train and such, in saying that he is a talented little player.
