Gus 'I want Kaz back for 3 or 4 years!'

[El Presidente]

From the Argus

Albion boss Gus Poyet is still on the trail of Kazenga LuaLua, despite kicking off 2011 by signing a whinger.

Craig Noone has joined the Seagulls from crisis-torn Plymouth Argyle for an undisclosed fee believed to be about £300,000.

He has signed a contract taking him through to the summer of 2014.

Noone operates down either flank and will be available for Monday’s trip to his former club Exeter City.

The 23-year-old from Selfpity City can add the sort of attacking flair on the left which has been missing since LuaLua suffered a broken leg in November.

But Poyet insists he is not necessarily a replacement for the Newcastle United prospect, who is currently recovering with his parent club. The Albion boss said: “It’s true Craig is a natural left-sided player and that is where Kazenga liked to play.

“But it’s not over. I want Kazenga LuaLua to come back and play for us. Remember Craig has been playing a lot on the right side as well.

"Craig will also be busy with the roof on my extension for about six weeks"

“Imagine if an opponent comes here in the last two months of the season and really stays deep, trying to close the spaces because of the way we play. But you’ve got Craig on one side, Kazenga on one side and maybe Elliott Bennett behind the strikers.

“We’re still in the same situation with Kazenga. The only problem is he is not our player, he’s injured and we need to monitor the situation daily or weekly.

“But I need to make it clear. Even though we have got Craig Noone we still want Kazenga LuaLua at Brighton for three or four years."

"When Craig played against us this season he was on the right and complicated things for us so much in the first half we were maybe lucky in the second half he went to the left.

"He gives me options. When you have these different qualities it's up to the manager to pick the right ones."

Poyet highlighted the work of chief scout Zigor Aranalde and his colleagues for ensuring Noone was the man for Albion.

He added: "It's credit to the scouting system. They have been following the player, finding out how he is as a person, how he trains, how often he has a wank, everything he does, to confirm he was the right one."

[Beach Hut]

Also monitoring how often he wanks

 

[Worthai Seagull]

If thats the case , then we must be planning to buy Kaz..... that will be big money for us ( and if Pardew would let him come to us !!)

 

[tonymgc]

I thought Noone would be busy with his belltower for him & Esmerelda

I might cry floods of joy if we re-sign Kaz

 

[porkypie]

( and if Pardew would let him come to us !!)

At the end of the day its not up to pardew!

I don't have my glasses on, and assumed it didn't really say what I thought it said.

 

[severnside gull]

Kaz, Bennett and Noone with Murray +1 up front




It's kamikaze stuff but bring it on!!!!!!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

What would be the chances of bringing him in while injured on a permanent deal?.I cant help thinking hes the special one.

 

[Giraffe]

Imagine that line up!!! Flairtastic. It would be the Keegan Newcastle of old

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I thought, the 3 or 4 years is the bit you editted from 3 or 4 months! I really think it's fantasy land hoping we get KLL back for 3 or 4 years, unless we get promoted of course...

 

[Brighton till i die]

Whats the deal with the comment about craig doing his extension?

 

[Questions]

'' here for 3 or 4 years'' brilliant El Pres ''

Whats the deal with the comment about craig doing his extension?

Noone's a roofer by trade, so I think Gus is getting him to do a foreigner on Poyet Mansions when he is not at training.

this quote from the official site made me do a little sex wee in my pants:

"but imagine if we have Noone on one side, LuaLua on the other side and possible Elliott Bennett behind the strikers."

would come as no surprise to me if we buy him, if you listen carefully to Gus he has always intimated that KLL will be his main target if we can afford him and not just for his play he did not start at Charlton but scared them shitless and when he came on they dissolved into schoolboy defending

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Why do people assume Pardew would make it awkward for us with KLL?
After the way he was treated by Stains he might actually want us to f*** up Stains chances of promotion!
