I don't think some fans realise how important the Zonz/Imbula role is to a Mark Hughes setup, i think it's partly why Hughes went all out to get him and worked so hard on it, how many times did we say "When zonz has a bad game we lose"
I've got a very good feeling about this

Definitely a holding midfielder at Porto
@jackd_88 @higginbotham05 I've done quite a few games of his and he's never done that in any of them. Proper Battler with a good engine
Taking about pushing up and creating

French paper 'Le 10Sport' seems to think the long-touted Imbula deal is getting closer? Giannelli Imbula he will leave FC Porto just months after joining from Olympique de Marseille? Today is a real probability. According to our information, a deal is close to being reached between FC Porto and Stoke City for the transfer of Imbula this winter. Common ground is about to be stalled around $20 million, with the possibility to add extra bonus. For now, the deal is not yet officially recorded because it requires that FC Porto valid selling Imbula, which is not yet the case. The club, in addition, has just changed coach, and it is also necessary that the new team coach, the Portuguese José Peseiro, decide whether or not Imbula setting in the future. Cheers Fuller for constantly being on the case and keeping us all updated mate ! ![(thumbsup)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/q4Mqf5MqRwT9PY8UitYa.gif)

If he is as good as Zonzi then we have done really good business.

What a night,great business from us.meanwhile the most talked about thing on OVF is their 3 nil loss at Wigan.
They probably think we'll be playing them in the league next season still.
The poor,poor fuckers.

Hughes clearly hasn't got the joke, but knows from Coates' face that he's meant to laugh, or at least attempt some sort of a grin. ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/jitsPgqXBozY69AOPrPg.gif)

I go under the knife tomorrow in the day hospital + I'm shitting myself. This transfer though, has cheered me up no end, just fantastic! Don't worry about him learning a second language, he'll be given the very best English tuition there Is. As one poster has already stated, he'll know the International language of football, so no problems at all. Good luck tomorrow boys, give'em a shout for me.

Most of the CM in the Premier league will know they've been in a game with him that's for sure. Not only has he got a great engine but players just bounce off him.
Glenn must think its Christmas at last someone to actually help him out and let him sit a bit.
