Richard Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Never want to see this player in a Villa shirt again. **** useless. You know, I wouldnt disagree. The one note of caution was the majority of us were saying exactly this and worse about Hutton not so long ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 In other threads I've brought up the fact that I always rated Hutton and Clark, while others wanted them out, so I'll also put my hands up and say that I thought N'Zogbia would be a good signing. I was wrong, and now I'm with everyone else in the 'I'd rather see Bacuna/Grealish/ Robinson' group. It's a shame that we've not been able to get him to consistently hit that level he occasionally reached at Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be playing for his football future with his contract running out. I think he's the kind of player who needs that sort of pressure on him to deliver his best football. He might as well stay on the bench in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm surprised that he never gets mentioned when people talk about our worst signings. Yes he has scored a couple of goals and made some assists but for the fee and wages paid he has been as big a flop as any. I'd like to see him left out of the squad and Bacuna/robinson in ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'd still start with Nzogbia, Im in a massive minority I know but I would play him behind Benteke with Wiemann and Agbonlahor either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 12, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'd still start with Nzogbia, Im in a massive minority I know but I would play him behind Benteke with Wiemann and Agbonlahor either side More a tiny minority I'd say But I think he will probably start in the absence of others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually like to see Cleverley play the 10 role and Westwood, Delph and Sanchez in the middle when everyone is fit as he was excellent in that position for Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Was happy when he signed, but hes never done it at VP tbh, and needs to be moved on. When is his contract running out? Start Joe Cole, if fit, with Delph , Sanchez and Cleverley, when all fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Zog is poor, but Weimann is worse imo, i know alot of you disagree with me, either way we need to buy at least one quality attacking player in january Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 N'Zogbia, Gabby, Andi and Richardson are (by our standards) costing us a lot of money while offering very little or nothing back. Why Lambert persists with playing N'Zogbia i will never understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benireduk Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Can see why Lambert picked him over Grealish today. A local derby at WBA is not a place to make your debut, but sorry Zog, you've had enough chances and it should be Jack's turn v Man Utd next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) There is a quality player in there somewhere just needs to find consistency The problem is he is very single minded and doesn't think about how he can contribute, the guy has no natural position and while he did well at Wigan a lot of the time he wandered up top and acted like a forward or striker. He can't play for us in the way/position he is playing, I said it 2 years ago and I remain convinced that the only way we'll get anything from Nzog is to play him as a striker or forward. He's not a good enough passer to play in midfield, he doesn't look up so can't really be part of one touch moves and he isn't a backward enough player to defend mistakes properly. I'd see how he plays up front or cut him loose, he simply can't be our wide option because he offers so very little.
