He said he wants to leave in the summer. Who to? He said he is leaving as he isn't being included in the squad. I would prefer to keep Palacios and put him in there or another central mid as N'Zonzi just seems to pass it back and not forward. Goaarn Stoke!
I'd sell him and Palacios and probably a few more, time to freshen up the team with players that A. Want to play for Stoke and B. Have the talent to produce at this level.
I feel a bit frustrated at N'Zonzi. I've seen him play lovely football but he only does it when he fancies it. I'm afraid we are not a sexy team and so there will be many games when it's just about grinding out a result. I don't think N'Zonzi will do that. Time to say tara (I was going to try and be a bit clever and write it in French, then realised I didn't know how to spell it :-/ )
Moi aussi. Il semple plus paresseux qu'il est vraiment. C'est un jouer utile, et il offert quelque chose de different que nos autres jouers n'offerent pas.
I'd be tempted to cash in, if we got offers for him. I do like N'Zonzi, but at times he's infuriating. He played well against Arsenal, but the majority of the time he seems unwilling to take the ball forward, there's virtually no such thing as a counter attack when N'Zonzi plays.
He was brilliant against Arsenal and is relatively young. If he plays like that every game and links up with Arny we might as well keep him and sell Palacios, Edu etc. Maybe buy another centre mid as back up and to play in case N'Zonzi is playing badly.
I don't think his talent is in question, but as a team we are so reliant on our 1st eleven to deliver and can't afford a potential time bomb! Let him go with a lot of the others and rebuild in the Summer, hopefully we could raise about 20 million from sales and Coates may be willing to supplement Hughes with a further 30 million.
Bloody French, Wenger wannabees the lot of ye. If he does not want to play for us...cheerio. Easy as!! Off topic...I reckon that Cameron is our most improved player this season. Discuss
I do think since TP left and he has been allowed to play as a modern FB he has been far more effective.
Nick I agree Cameron has come on leaps and bounds at RB! Apologies for the French but I thought you started it!!
It seems to me that Nzonzi seems to play well in the big games where he can show his talent to bigger clubs, cash him in.
