Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 KEVIN Keegan admits that he will give it his all to persuade Charles N'Zogbia that his future lies on Tyneside. The 21-year-old was subject of a rumoured deadline day approach from Tottenham Hotspur but any such offer would've certainly been rebuffed by the Magpies. However, Keegan says that he will still fight all the way to keep the talented French winger at St.James' Park ahead of next season. "Charles came to see me about all the speculation, and I very honestly said 'I've had no inquiries about you'," explained the Toon boss. "He's just signed a new contract here, but it's something we'll have to revisit again in the summer, because the signs are that he's not that happy here. "But this is a big club, and we've got two or three months to work with him." Keegan again asked the former Le Havre youngster to fill-in at left-back during Sunday's derby draw with Middlesbrough. And the Magpie chief has been delighted with the attitude of the France under-21 starlet, adding: "I thought he did very well again playing at left-back. "I'm not saying it's his best position, but he's a gem of a lad. He never complains at all. "He can play in midfield and left-back, but his best position is definitely on the left of a midfield four and bombing on." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 He just needs to get his head down and crack on. He'll do well here if he sticks with it and is clearly in KKs plans. I just hope he aint another attracted by the bright lights of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Then thats where we need to play him. Another player at LB with N'zogbia ahead of him has to be better than wasting N'zogbia, who is a crappy LB anyway with, in any kind of defensive position. As for revisiting the sistuation in the summer, If Spurs are that keen on him, then I'd consider a direct swop for Darren Bent. No money involved.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Have people forgotten that Zoggy refused to sit on the bench? I'm still suprised by his popularity when he's been far more of a twat than Bellamy, and not half as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get LB sorted soon and have the Zog move up as KK's plans seem to involve him and he recognizes his best position is left winger.

Jimbo 175 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 He seems desperately inconsistant in my opinion, but I guess swapping him around from position to position doesn't help, he needs to be played consistantly in one position if he's going to be happy at the club, I'd play him in place of Emre, he's far more productive in my opinion.

And while he let them know last week that the Frenchman was not up for grabs, they could be back in the summer for the 21-year-old. N’Zogbia has been attracted, not only by the bright lights of London, but also the fact that his widowed mother and sister are currently living in the capital. And even though he was happy to sign a new and improved five-year contract offered to him by Sam Allardyce just after the start of the season, the former Le Havre player has not looked completed happy.

Asprilla 96 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think it would be madness to let him go. In a forward thinking side he's the kind of player you want in your squad. We got him for virtually nothing and I'd hate to see him go elsewhere and do well. I think he's been pretty patient and I'm pleased Keegan is giving him some respect.
