Dr_Pangloss Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not bothered, don't care. he's an irrelevant waste of space and the worst signing in the clubs history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwj Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Certainly the worst value for money. Maybe not as bad as Bosko Balaban though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa pulled the plug on his deadline day move to Sunderland because they didn't want to sell to a relegation rival, terms were all agreed he said. Seems logical. Probably just what the bomb squad was about. A contract is a contract, Aston Villa should honor their commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Does that mean he was offered a new contract then as how else could you request him to take a pay cut given we didn't get relegated last few years. Also shows yet again there is always interest in players who don't even play for months on end given Sunderland wanted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 As a signing I don't think Sinclair was worse, especially at the time. He's definitely the worse player though. N'Zogbia has the wonderful distinction of a 10M price tag (back when 10M was decently substantial) along with ridiculous wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 but I still think Sinclair is probably on a huge contract similar to that he had at City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Piss poor management from fox et al. again. Drop N'Zogbia for not taking a wage cut, then not taking an offer for him in January. Makes sense as to why zog suddenly appeared for two games and then disappeared again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board are out of order and besides Garde needs to be having the final say on who plays. The truth is the club agreed to his wages. We can't blame N'Zogbia for his wage. It is an agreement that Aston Villa F.C would of been happy with. These kind of actions are why we are where we are, it is not only depreciating the managers authority but also seeing a team mate hung out to dry would destroy team moral. Furthermore it could be detrimental on the pitch as (arguably) there are much worse players in the starting 11. Once again it seems the men upstairs are acting very naively. I am pretty sure this was the same scenario with Bent and Hutton. Garde has already said the club told him there was no issue with playing N'Zogbia - he played him once and then never played him again after. I think it's safe to say the club wouldn't have sold him against the manager's wishes. If the club had sold him on deadline day and he'd gone on and played like he did to keep Wigan up that time, the club would have got dog's abuse for strengthening a relegation rival for the sake of saving a few quid. I find it hard to believe the club went to the bother of agreeing all of the terms of a move only to think at the last minute they'd be strengthening a rival and only then pull the plug. Two sides to this one I'm sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Villa Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In his defence (and don't get me wrong I hate the parasite).... At least he's honest about stealing a living from us. The rest of the players are as bad as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
