Left back - who would you buy?

Figueroa is better at this stage of his career and about the same price as Taiwo and Ziegler.

I really don't want another Ziegler at the club who also played for Spurs. The last one didn't work out to well for us.

I'd take Bridge as long as he wasn't our only capable LB.

x2. figueroa + bridge id be delighted
 
By all accounts the Wigan lad seems like a solid option. I'd rather that Roy earmark Kelly or one of the other young lads as cover instead of buying two new left backs. Agger and Carragher can also play there if required.
 
jason brown is having a great season as no. 3 for corofin harps. take him & pay his dad a shitload of cash

He's always harping on about his son and that football team.

I thank you.

You're saving me a lot of time on the forums lately by having the same opinions as me. My post count lately is mostly me just agreeing with you.

Don't let that happen. You post exciting 'I nearly died' threads. The closest Wilko has come to that is a dangerous encounter with an envelope.

Also Kelly isn't a LB and apparently isn't very good. I think Mavinga (sp?) is the LB we've got in the ressies who is meant to be alright.
 
N'Zogbia reportedly available for 8m odd. I'd be happy enough with the tricky left-back cum winger.
 
N'Zogbia would be good enough as a LM, even if £8 mill.is perhaps a bit rich. I wouldn't want to have to rely on his defending though.

Mavinga could be an option but played more as a CB last season.
 
N'Zogbia would be plenty good enough agaainst at least half of the sides we face in the league with little attacking ambition.

He'd also provide Johnson-like width on the flanks if Cole comes inside form the left.

Indeed. Envelopes can have extremely sharp corners.

I've been waiting for people to join my N'Zogbia appreciation group. He's really been quite good at Wigan.

Not sure I want him here though. Plus he's not really a LB at all. If we sell Babel for a decent sum he would be an adequate replacement.
 
And why would City sell Bridge to us on the cheap?

I'm amazed this link is sticking around. It's very, very unlikely to happen.
 
Forget Bridge. Citeh will want to rape us for a big fee.

Local is lekker so I'd go for Figueroa at 6M!

Because they've got about five LBs and they want him off the wage bill?
 
Apparently, any signing will need to be registered before midnight to be eligible for Thurs, so looks like we'll be without a LB.
 
Step up Stephen Darby.

It looks as we will put out a very reserve looking side in the EL quals. As Roy has said the WC players probably wont be involved.

The team against Kaiserslautern could start against Robotnickorwhatthey'recalled. It will be tough!!

He's shit, they don't need him, and we're no threat to them

Jesus, is everyone fucking *asleep* around here?

Actually that is now contrary to what he has said very recently .... about needing to find some 'middle ground' between his requirements and the advice of the medical staff. Seems like he is thinking about playing some of our WC players for 60 mins (he mentioned this too).

They'll sell him to someone pretty shit or not at all.

I hope so anyway, he's been very average for a good while now.

We'll be contending for the CL places, as will City.

We're not quite as shit as your fear.

Charles N'Zogbia has revealed that he has been assured by Wigan Athletic that they will not stand in his way of a potential move.

The Frenchman has been linked with a summer switch away from the DW Stadium with several sides allegedly monitoring his situation.

N'Zogbia, who joined the Latics from Newcastle last year, is eager to progress his career after finishing 16th in the Premier League last season.

"When I came here, I was in a period where I wanted to re-launch myself," N'Zogbia told L'Equipe. "Today I'm at Wigan but if tomorrow a good club with great aims contacts me, I am open.

"I have talked about it with my bosses. They won't put a spoke in the wheel."

France call-up

N'Zogbia is one of the players to have been pre-selected by France coach Laurent Blanc for the friendly against Norway, with the entire 23-man World Cup squad ruled out through suspension.

Should he win his first cap, it would put an end to talk of him playing for England.

He continued: "They talked about me (playing for England) but for me it's just something in the press.

"Until the moment someone at the Federation comes and talks to me about it face to face, I haven't even asked myself the question.

"In my head I'm French. There is no need to give it any thought."
