Crispy 4 Posted July 25, 2011 "Aston Villa are set to sign Wigan winger Charles N''Zogbia in a £9.5m deal."So this deal is looking like it will go ahead, decent business & Villa have their Downing replacement. But for Norwich does this make our opening game that little bit easier ? I great example of N''Zogbia''s importance is the game where his 2 goals relegated West Ham last season & Wigan came from 2 - 0 down to win the game.I have no doubt that last season if Wigan didn''t have N''Zogbia they would been relegated so in light of this I believe we really should be hoping we cope with this fixture. Obviously we could still lose this game & manage to stay up or win the league, but we couldn''t really ask for a better team to start up against especially without their talisman. Hopefully they leave it late to replace him or take a risk on a foreign player that takes a few games adjust ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holt is a Monster 0 Posted July 25, 2011 I take your point but I think the best thing going for Wigan (possibly the only thing) is that they have a half-decent manager. I think they''re more dangerous with him armed with £10m to spend than with N''Zogbia who is a talented but tempramental figure. Wigan''s dressing room spirit just improved greatly and they''re £10m richer into the bargain. The plus is that without N''Zogbia they now lack a cutting edge, but I think Martinez, with his array of contacts across Europe, will find a suitable replacement. You make a good point however that this may well be a foreign player who may not neccesarily adjust first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted July 25, 2011 I suppose Moses will play more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted July 26, 2011 This is great news for us. Now all we need is Rodallega to move and I will make Wigan one of my favourites, with QPR for relegation, unless of course they sign Cody. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
