khay 10 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Glenn Roeder has told Charles N'Zogbia that he still has a big future at Newcastle. Damien Duff's arrival led to suggestions that the highly-rated French youngster could be pushed out of the first team picture on Tyneside. However, Magpies chief Roeder insists that the 20-year-old - who arrived from Le Havre two years ago - is very much parts of his plans. "Charles is a wonderful young talent," insisted Roeder. "But he's only 20, he's still in the early stages of his footballing education and we need pressure on all places. "I still believe he will play for France and he will play plenty of football for us. He is still very much in my plans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 God this shouldnt even be an issue that should need any clearing up. Zoggy should be a regular first teamer next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46564 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think he's on his way tbh. Hasn't signed the contract he was given 3 months ago by all accounts (if he had, we would have heard about it), and is good enough to get snapped up by a bigger club. I would just hope we get some money for him if his is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 He's a player we need to hang onto i reckon, didn't realise there was a contract wrangle going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Considering how we got him from Le Havre, this is hardly surprising. Didn't we get Bernard under similar circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afternoonfix 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 he's going nowhere , any club would be a fool to miss out on duff @ 5mill, look at all the work they did to get charles .... nah cant see him going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a contract sat in front of him for 3 months which he hasn't signed and I think his current one runs out in 12 months. I think he's shown he has the ability both to play for a big club, and to get what he wants. Maybe we should sit him down and tell him the parable of The Greedy Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be enough to make him happy and sign a contract. And knowing Emre he won't stay fit for more than 2-3 games anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think he has looked a bit weak in CM in the past. 165297[/snapback] Agreed, I had thought it was just a Souness fantasy until Roeder mentioned it last week, which lends a bit more weight to the argument. He looked all right against Lillestrom on Saturday, but they're not exactly Premiership quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9937 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think he has looked a bit weak in CM in the past. 165297[/snapback] I don't disagree, but I still think he is more effective than Emre, who doesn't look rock solid either. At least N'Zogbia isn't afraid of running at players, so with adequate cover I think it could work well. And don't forget that N'Zogbia is just 20 and will still mature and get more used to the physical aspect of the game (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I don't disagree, but I still think he is more effective than Emre 165308[/snapback] I agree with that. I like Emre, but I think he's style over substance. Looks pretty, does little in the way of effectiveness. I don't want to sound too harsh on the lad cos I still think he's a canny player, you just get the feeling he could do more attacking wise.

Something Emre isn't and possibly only Bowyer has been for us in recent years. Apart from maybe Faye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
