Kinnear has been unhappy at the way the midfielder has conducted business in trying to organise his exit from the club, and has slammed talk that N'Zogbia is on the brink of quitting Tyneside.

Kinnear (talking to the Chronicle): "I've spoken to Arsene Wenger and he said he's not interested in any of my players, so I don't know where the agent's coming from.

"We're looking into it. If it is true, then the agent's being disrespectful. He's never had the decency to explain anything to any member of this football club. It's laughable, to be honest.

"It's absolute nonsense. Charles is under contract until 2012, and I told him on day one that he was a very important player.

"He's been in the team, and has done very well."
