    id like to see him play a bit more, have not seen that much of him.
    dont know if mogga has him in his starting 11 plans, or if he intends to use him more a fringe player

    Don't think the manager wants to change the winning team and I don't blame him

    No have heard no news saying that he is so i dont think so. Dissapointing but the midfield have been playing well the last few games so im sure he will be given his chance in time.

    I think Zheng has certain skills that make him have an impact once the game slows a bit down in the latter half.

    Having said that, if you play him from the get-go you run the risk of running the wheels off of him and depleting him of energy and making him too tired to contribute once the defenders marking him are finally too tired to close him down so rapidly

    not really impressed by him so i couldt care less what the scipt is with him , crosas and n guemo are great and if they keep there form up nobody will be able to take the cm spot away , the only one i can see getting a place in there is brown when hes playing well.

    Guy could be struggling with our weather at the present so possibly not showing too well at training.From what i've seen he's got a quick footballing brain and a good technical level,thing is,as some of you are saying,with the team doing fairly well(defence aside),he may have to wait until circumstances fall in his favour to get a decent run.IMO it's just another good problem to have,as long as he does'nt get fed up.

    was also wondering, each time he's played i think he's been good. nothing great, but definatly not terrible ..

    i think he'l eventually get his shot. dont think mowbray would of signed him if he wont. we already have a jam packed midfield, so wouldnt make much sense to have signed zz, unless he wanted a quality backup or something!

    Well I think he gave a decent account of himself against the Huns the last time he played them, let's face it he's more likely to have an impact than Samaras or Mac Donald at this moment in time.

    He can play at center back as well as midfield can't he?

    Maybe he might be worth a run out in the center of our defence. Can't really do any worse then the current 3.

    Dont worry Darren O'Dea's coming back to sort all of our problems there.:rolleyes:

    Ive liked what I've seen of ZZ, I'd like to see him in ahead of Robson to be honest, they seem similar but ZZ imo is the better player. Don't think he was brought in to ever be a first team regular though.

    i like the idea of ZZ playing a sweeper type role and getting McManus\Caldwell to attack anything that comes into the box. He has the football smarts to play this role, just wondering if he has the right grasp on English to organise around him. Also do the other 2 have the smarts to listen to anyone organising them?

    Its possible that he could get a run when N'Guermo heads off to the African Cup of Nations. Depending which way TM wants to take it, he could potentially slot in beside Crosas in the centre... or maybe Robson comes inside and the likes of McGinn could get a wee run on the flank. Then there is the option of playing in defence, instead of the trio of muppets that seem to be taking turns in a perpetual circle of calamity which is descending into simple farce. Surely, he couldn't do any worse.

    Anyone playing at centre back could be better than Mc Manus, Loovens and Caldwell, so I guess ZZ could do a job for us.
