personally, i don't believe the "big teams are interested in them = they must be a good player2 argument. there are just too many expections to it. how many teams were interested in vidic or chicharito but plenty of teams were interested in dzeko (and he's pants).
i do agree that there is a difference in ability of young and n'zogbia. yound is def the better player. but saying that we should go after the better player would be to be like saying we should buy messi and ignore the fact that we don't have the money, we're not in the champions league. the reality is that if a champos club and us are competing for the same player, we will probably lose out cos that's the modern world of footie.
it's not to say that n'zogbia isn't a good player. i think for the amount we cold get him for in relation to his ability, he'd make a great signing. and, yeah, we are competing with newcastle and sunderland for him cos they're not in the champions league either and we only finished 11 or 12 points ahead of them. and yes we are losing out on young cos the mancs are in the champos league and they have more money and we finished 22 point behind them.
this is the reality of the transfer market. you deal with what you have and what you can get in the circumstances you find yourself in.
