jayEm Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 He's certainly no worse than what we have now. I look forward to him getting back in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's getting to the point where I'd welcome Insomnia back into the fold, it's getting that desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1874 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'd love to see him back in the team when he's fit. But given that the likes of Bowery, Weimann and Sylla played last season while he sat on the bench I don't hold much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'd quite like him back to be honest. He seemed to string a few decent performances together last season (WBA, West Ham & Fulham) but was then dropped and I'm not sure if he played again? Can't see Lambert wanting him back mind.

R.Bear Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Outside of Benteke, he is by far the most talented player we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The club AFAIK have said absolutely nothing. Not holding out any hope at all of seeing him play again in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's getting to the point where I'd welcome Insomnia back into the fold, it's getting that desperate. Wow, it's getting serious when Pangloss is asking for Zog to come back into the team! We need a bit of spark in the final third, give him a go. But we need to see more of this N'Zogbia: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm quite excited to see him back. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of his anonymous performance and sometimes laziness when considering his wages, but very occasionally he can be the difference between winning/drawing and losing a game. He's another option for us and is still a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I am too looking forward to getting N'Zogbia back in the team, but he is a player that thrives when in confidence, and is he ever getting that back? Lambert is quick to throw these players out of the team again and bring back his favorites. N'Z needs to play 10 games in a row even though he sucks in a few of them, just to get his groove. Sadly, I think his time here is over, both because of his relationship with the manager, our tactics and his injury. Being out for a long time is often more severe for creative players such as him, and he wasn't exactly on level with Bale when he played last. Finger's crosses, we need some good players in our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap of Steel Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Judging by the general mysterious atmosphere surrounding N'Zogbia, and his squad number, I'd say it's highly unlikely he will play again. Personally I'd like to see him play in a few games for us again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I would like to see him on the wing .. I remember our horrible game against Bradford away .. and hated playing without 3 midfielders .. didnt watch West Brom game .. Bat when I remember Everton game I rethink about it ..

R.I.C.O. Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I reckon he can still do a job for us, and Lambert should be looking to utilise everyone in our squad, but we all know he's massively inconsistent and only bothers to play when it suits him. There's more to this than an achilles injury in my opinion. Being given a bomb squad number should have been the first clue, and this mysterious injury whilst on holiday (with no return date given) should have been the next. Has anyone actually seen him around Bodymoor or watching our matches? Lambert has frozen him out, pure and simple. He won't play for us again and will leave for nothing like Stephen Ireland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezzRexx Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hopefully when he regains fitness, Lambert will consider bringing him back into the side because we need a player of his ilk to give the side some sort of spark, even if it is just coming off the bench. Problem is, he has done **** all for us since we signed him. He's been dead weight since day one. Free kick v West Ham? Probably one of the most vital wins for Villa in recent times? But I can't see him having a future hear at Villa, not a Lambert player at all. Won the penalty too I believe? I like him, thought he was a key part of our best attacking displays last season so I'd like to him given one more shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Enjoyed watching Villa so much more when he was on the pitch last year. Really hope Lambert hasn't written him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We need some one like him in our home games who can carry ball up pitch and switch defence into attack like how a young used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 AFAIK N'Zogbia has been hanging around Miami for a while now. Whether he is doing rehab work or what not out there, who knows...I did think though that his initial timetable for a return to training was initially December-ish, IINM.

KSV Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 i thought he was gone for the season ? I hope he does figure when he returns for the rest of the season but i cant see it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think Christmas was originally touted a a return time for him. Think we desperately miss that spark that Zog can provide. We're a bit grey and turgid at times. We need to cut out the hoof and play someone who has at least some idea of how pass/cross/shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
