David Ngog

[Buzz]

I've always liked him and wished him to do well, he has been much better this season and he gave his first interview for the English press in the Independant today. I never knew he ws such a coverted French player and comes across as a nice shy lad who is very private and with his feet firmly on the ground.

Indi Interview

Sorry if Romario, had a quick search first a couldn't find anything.

Another one, like Lucas, too quickly written off and unfairly derided by some.

 

He has something to offer. Whether that is enough, long term, for him to be a player of the level we really need, remians to be seen. I think we'd all be surprised if he becomes truly top class, but at this point in time he is useful for us and can look back on his last 18 months with some satisfaction at his contribution and, just as importantly, his progress.

[Gary Wolf]

Reminds me of the young Treguezet

[Conor]

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up being top class.. Not in the slightest. He and Andy Carroll are the top young strikers in the league.

[Big Red Machine]

If Ferguson or Wenger had bought him he'd be getting hyped up as one of the best prospects in the league.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

He cost bobbins & pitches in with goals. Compare that with some of the gash the alky scot has got - Macheda, looks ok, Obertan, Bebe etc.

 

He was never going to be Torres mkII, but he doesn't have the ego of many less talented players.

 

Value for money he is

Hence why he's getting more praise now one of the LMA has 'unearthed' him.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

aaaaah-HA

[Hassony]

I always believed in him, ever since his first goal away to PSV

[Lanus]

N'Gog needs to improve his heading but positionally the man is getting much much better. He's good with the ball at his feet, he's quick and he scores goals. Also, when he plays, torres plays better cause he he opens up space for him.

[JonShar]

And he's only 21.

[johngibo YPC]

Good article once the fella shut up about Shampoo

Interesting thoughts from the French U21 manager

On a general point, it makes me laugh when people are suprised when young players get better

[Lanus]

Well I've always wanted N Gog to get better myself (not just cause Im a Liverpool fan) but because he's one of the players i've always said will have a future ahead of him (and behind him if he invents a time machine.)

think he does lots more outside of the box than trezeguet ever did. more a young anelka about ngog. he's a good prospect though, but think he's lacking a bit of aggression to ever be really top class.

His nationality is about the only comparison. He's average.

Spot on.

 

Add in Maxi for free and Kyri for £1.5mill and we've picked a few bargains up in the last couple of years.

[McBain]

I'm sure he's a nice fella. He's s***

[Maldini]

If he was playing for a smaller club and scoring the amount of goals he does in so few games people on here would be clamouring to sign him. I really don't understand the hatred for him, are there any other second/third choice forwards in the league with a better record than him in the last two years?

it may also have something to do with him being a sight more prolific now.

Its bizarre. He's a decent player

[Ombudsam]

He's genuinely worked hard to improve which is great credit to him.

 

I don't want that to sound like damning with faint praise. I think he's a useful member of the squad now

What current premiership striker would you consider to be the median?

[scoose]

He is improving but sometimes when I've been at the game I've watched when the oppo have the ball and he can be lazy when closing defenders down. Jogs a lot sometimes when needs to move faster.
