Should Someone Have Word In Pardew's Lug?
We hear today that Alan Pardew WILL sign Charles N'Zogbia in the summer ... but does the Toon boss know the trouble the Wigan player caused first time round at St James' Park? Newcastle twice bid for N’Zogbia on January 31 in an attempt to beat the clock after Andy Carroll’s £35m sale to Liverpool. N’Zogbia fell out with former boss Joe Kinnear when he branded the winger “Insomnia” at a post-match Press conference two years ago, prompting the player to slap in a transfer request as he felt he could no longer work with the controversial ex-Wimbledon boss. A Chronicle 'source close to the winger' said: “Charles left Newcastle on the back of a row with Kinnear. “He’s always regretted leaving the club, and if there was a chance to come back he would obviously be interested. “He’s got a big game with Wigan this weekend and then there will probably be a lot of talk about where Charles goes next. “But he is intrigued by the plans that Alan Pardew has in store for Newcastle next season.”
