N'Zogbia denies strike claims
Charles N'Zogbia is upset by suggestions he went on strike during his last days at Wigan so he could engineer a move to new club Aston Villa.[LNB] The Frenchman joined Villa at the back end of July in a £9.5million deal, with Wigan finally deciding to cash in on their prized asset.[LNB]Reports have suggested N'Zogbia refused to train in order to force the move to Villa, but he is adamant that is not the case.[LNB]"I was not on strike," he told the Daily Mail. "On the first day of pre-season I was at Wigan. I went to Sweden in pre-season. I was happy to do it. There are no bad feelings."[LNB]The 25-year-old also suggests he would have been happy to stay at the club, but revealed chairman Dave Whelan needed to make full use of his market value.[LNB]N'Zogbia added: "I was friends with (manager Roberto) Martinez and I just trained hard and thought if it happens, it happens.[LNB]"The chairman said he had to sell me as he had no money left but I didn't try to push him or anything.[LNB]"I was with the French squad for two weeks after the season until June 10 and Martinez told me I could go for five days to rest. I needed it."
