Stoke L&P said that N'Zonzi straight trade for Riviere is on the table.

YES PLEASE!

Scored 13 this season and is a bit like Odemwingie (Pacey and got a good eye for goal) plus he is 24
 
Time for him to go. Seems a bit disingenuous of him because last week he was reported as saying he was very happy with us.

One report of this says it's his agent (dad) who has put in the request. French players with their family as agents, never a good thing (Anelka anyone?)

We'd be well rid of him. He's petulant and at times slows things down. It's unfortunate that his name is my daughters favourite song (Ooh Steven N'Zonzi)
 
I think he is much happier in general but there are a couple of issues here;

1: Under the previous manager there was a pay issue, and regardless of the player if you promise them something then you deliver on that.
2: Although I think he is the best in our team in what he does, he is under threat from competition and is not a guaranteed No1. Unfortunately he is the type of player who would rather be on the bench at a 'bigger' club and be paid twice the money.

I think he has done a good job and we will make a profit so what will be will be.
