Could that not be Lens? Hard to tell whether there's tattoos or not. In any case, I hope it's not N'Zogbia, he's only played 30 games in the last 3 seasons for relegation fodder. Also has a ****e attitude by all accounts.
[QUOTE="Bri OBE, post: 9430954, member: 1023141"QUOTE] Fair enough matey, the pic you put up is much better quality that the OP. Not hugely impressed if he's signing, however if you compare him to likes of Will Buckley, is he an improvement in terms of quality? I'd say so.
The prospect makes your skin crawl doesn't it? No doubt Sam will see it as doing a player without a club a favour while having a look at the same time, in the meantime charlie will prove how **** he is.
I'm also worried about his rumoured wages. Reckon he was on about £60k p/w at Villa and the only reason he was still there is because he was after a pay rise for his next club, which needless to say no one was going to give him.
Sunderland AFC News And Banter Page: 10 mins · @YoungSunEcho Wouldn't get too excited about Nzogbia. Sunderland have had a LOT of players training with them since Big Sam took charge #SAFC
N'Zogbia is not officially on trial or subject to any contract talks with Sunderland. He is merely participating in pre-season to keep fit as he searches for a new club. That's not to say that he definitely won't be a Sunderland player next season. If, and it's a biggie, he manages to apply himself he could convince Sam Allardyce he is worth a short term contract.
That's what they said when Eboue came. Not sure why Sam seems to think we are some sort of charity to all these players without a club. I can't see what benefit we get out of having players like Nzogbia coming to train with us.
That's the only reason I can think of, but surely with a player like Nzogbia, he just knows he's not going to be good enough and we are using up our resources on the piece of ****.
According to Wikipedia at present he has signed for us on a 5 year deal, haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_N'Zogbia
