Zog This!

This is a short little blog about a certain player I think should be on a lot of manager wish lists in this transfer window. He has just announced that he wants to be transfered and I think he is a real prospect to be a success at a top club.

Charles N'Zogbia was one of those players that I never really considered as an amazing player at Newcastle, I think it was that I never realised his age, he was only a kid back then. The guy signed for Newcastle in 2004 at the age of 17, the last signing made by Bobby Robson and before he knew it he was a first team regular, playing 41 games and scoring 6 goals in his first season. He had another sweet following season but was being played more so in the left back role, a position that he can still play in to this day. He only managed to score 3 goals in 05/06 but was being eyed up as potential utility player by the likes of Arsenal. I believe the only reason he never really excelled beyond Newcastle in these days was the arrival of Duffer, who pretty much took his position and he warmed the bench under Glenn Roeder for a season and a half. The next season, of course, was the faithful mess of a season where Newcastle faltered to the Championship.

But now at the maturing age of 24, Charles N'Zogbia, in his first season for Wigan Athletic, he has been awarded both their Players' Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the Season for 09/10. Wigan bought him for a bargain price of 8 million quid, what a fucking bargain. He went on to play 49 games last season, scored 6 goals and in that 3-2 come back against Arsenal, he showed some serious leadership qualities. Also now that the French International team has got someone with a brain at the helm, there is no doubt he will be featuring heavily over the next couple of years for them.

I think N'Zogbia would fit into the Arsenal set-up brilliantly, contesting on that left side and also as good cover for Clichy in left back. Also with Everton, he would be good competition for the likes of Bilyaletdinov on the left also cover for Leighten Baines in defence. Anyway, enough of me blowing smoke up this cunts arse . . . . . I'm hungry.
