macandally Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Villa should hurry the **** up and just bid the 10 million. We're gonna lose him and be left with options like SWP. Or Juan Vargas.

There's a whole damn world of options out there. But we have McLeish who doesn't seem to attract oversea players.

villan_007 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I dont think N'Zogbia wants to come to Villa Park and if I'm totally honest for £10 -£12m I dont think he is worth it??? Surely there is a better more promising younger winger out their for better value. I dont recall N'Zogbia being all that good at Newcastle. When did he phone you? I really really find it hard to see how you can come to the conclusion that he isn't worth it. He's the number 1 replacemnet no if's no but's. If even a little bit of you doesn't think he's good enough then you've never took the time to watch him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_The_Villan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Whelan is showing us exactly how to behave in modern day football...like a word removed. Honesty and integrity get you nowhere these days. We need to take a leaf out of this old tarts book. yet we (allegedly) behaved like that in the recruitment of mcleish, and the board got slated on here for supposedly doing things underhand and "tapping up". The board getting slated on here for alot of things lately. I wouldnt let that concern you too much. Its going on everywhere though. Underhand tactics in order to get what you want. Its the way to go im afraid. This nicey nicey approach the board always seem to use is getting us absolutley nowhere. Whelan is playing the game and hes playing it well. Randy could learn a thing or two from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapbranny Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Perhaps we are waiting to see if Hoilett rejects a contract offer at Rovers. I understand he only has 1 year left. Surely we could get him for a decent fee with only 12 months left. The fact that we have sold Young to ManUre shows that we will sell, so he can advance his career and still play for the big 4 later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has warned Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish against playing a waiting game for Charles N’Zogbia, and admitted he can’t understand why its Premier League rivals are refusing to match his £10 million asking price. In an exclusive interview with Goal.com, sports retail tycoon Whelan has told McLeish to forget about signing N’Zogbia for anything less than £10m this summer, even though he accepted a £9m bid from Birmingham for the player when the Scot was in charge at St Andrews last year. A defiant Whelan is refusing to budge over prized asset N’Zogbia amid reports that the former Newcastle player will go on strike and refuse to train in an effort to force through a move away from the DW Stadium as the transfer saga took another twist. McLeish has earmarked N’Zogbia as the replacement for Stewart Downing following his £20m move to Liverpool but in the light of that business Whelan insisted that buying his player for half that price would amount to “stealing”. Whelan told Goal.com: “Aston Villa are still offering £9m and I want £10m. They offered nine, and I said 'no thanks, you will have to make it 10 and then you can talk to him'. Other clubs are interested so there is no way I will be going down to nine million. “We said £10m and I am not going to let him go for a penny less. They have got £20m for Downing and they would be stealing N’Zogbia for 10 million. Stealing him. He is the best wide player in the Premier League without question so I can’t understand what they are doing. “Last year we accepted £9m from Birmingham when Alex McLeish was their manager very late on in the summer transfer window and he thinks he is going to do the same again this time around, but he isn’t.” North-east rivals Sunderland and Newcastle, as well as Everton, have been linked with the former Le Havre player who is out of contract at the end of next season, but Whelan revealed that neither have tabled bids for the 25-year-old. Whelan continued: “Lots of clubs will be interested but all I look at is who is offering money and who has put a bid in. Sunderland as yet have not put a bid in. I do not know whether Newcastle are interested or not because they have not put an offer in. “I would like to extend his contract so he would stay at Wigan because I rate him so highly but I don’t think he will stay. However, we will have to wait and see.” Yahoo via Goal.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
