For most of the last recent weeks, there were plenty of new speculations about whether he will stay in Keegan’s revolutionary program or he will be seeing the exit door in the summer this year. Charles still have three years left on his current contract with United and KK determined that if he does leave, there will be a good amount of money that can brought him out.

N’Zogbia signed with Newcastle from his previous club Le Havre where he starts his footballing career from their acasemy. His transfer history was not a smooth one. After a protracted saga involving the threat of a case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, his transfer officially went through on September 2, 2004.

United have paid a compensation fee to Le Havre which was thought to be in the region of £250,000. His transfer to Newcastle was the last player to be signed by Sir Bobby Robson. Robson later said of him: “N’Zogbia could go to the very top with the right coaching and motivation, and I hope it is with Newcastle. I signed him as a teenager and he was one of the most naturally gifted players of that age I’d ever seen.”

Later we have seen that Sir Bobby was right about his judgement and Charles quickly become great player after making his break to the first team squad. Although his natural position is a left-winger, under the previous manager he was playing often as left-back which he did it quite good.

As a young player, Zoggy was not entirely have a ‘good’ attitude. He has his first transfer request turned down in January, and long before that the United caretaker manager Nigel Pearson has dropped him from the substitutes’ bench against Watford last season. Nigel said that N’Zogbia was more engrossed in his mobile phone than the team meeting he was in.

Recently, his Newcastle United team-mates has warn him to buck up his ideas or leave the club. Meanwhile, Kevin Keegan said He would like to keep him with Newcastle because he can be a tremendous asset for us. But to do so, he’s got to be fully, fully, fully committed to Newcastle United.

And if he keep insisted to leave the club, Keegan has nothing to do but prepared to let the French Under-21 international go at the end of the season. Other premiership teams are lurking to catch him out from St. James’s Park with Arsenal and Tottenham have been linked with the winger.

“Charles and his agent wanted to move him out of here and I wouldn’t allow that. I said if he did his best until the end of the season and felt the same way, I would let him go – if he still wanted to go. But it would be on our terms.” Keegan said.

Currently N’Zogbia now recovered from his knee injury and back in training with the rests of United squad. But Keegan insists he still have to learn to be a team player with his individual skill, and if he does it he will be a hell of an asset for us. But he has got to come into the team, to fight for his place by showing mature attitude, I believe Keegan is not blind and will give him his chance to play as soon as the time is right.

I think most of Newcastle players this season would feel the same like Zog. The situation has been change drastically and we are heading on the right track, we deserve the better and we have been waiting long enough for a piece of silverware.

For some of football players, success is to win something, yes that’s true if you are 30-some-of-age and still playing football. But for a youngster like Zogbia, success is to be able to play every games, to do the better of him and win the match. Silverware will come in the end.

Sam Allardyce today reveals the help of his new skipper on N’Zogbia progress this season. “To be fair, probably Geremi’s done more of a job than me about him overcoming the problems he had,”

“If you’ve got a Newcastle shirt and you’re on the teamsheet, what more do you want?” Sam aded more on the Newcastle official website.

N’Zogbia is one of the most shinning player for Newcastle this season. He’s been playing in the position that he may never imagine he would play before. He’s a naturally attacking players and love to play wide, Sam knows that and I think he is genius to put N’Zogbia to the side he is now.

“He’s gone and taken the left-back spot, which has been really tricky for us and for the club for a long time, and he’s filled the spot and done exceptionally well while Jose Enrique’s been getting up to speed,” Sam added.

Against West Hame yesterday, N’Zogbia has done marvelously. He seems wants to pay back his bad performance against Derby County a week ago. He gives two great assists for Viduka’s goals and put himself in scoresheet with a goal in second half.

Now I think Charles doesn’t have to worry about his future. It’s very clear his future is with Newcastle United, and in not very long from now, he will become one of the Black-and-White legend.
