As far as Lua Lua is concerned we just want Newcastle to start playing really well. The bettr they are playing the less likely they are to ask for him back.
Disagree entirely. If they are fighting a relegation battle they can't afford to try out a young player. If they are safe they will give games to players like Lua Lua to see what they are made of and help them improve.
Its clear now that he is too good for our division. Its certainly looking like he could give the premiership a shot. I watched that big lump Gutierrez lumbering down the left wing for Newcastle on Saturday, and if Ben Arfa stays injured I'm sure Lua Lua could be exciting for them.
Bottom-line, I can't believe Chris Hughton wouldn't want to give him some games nearer the end of the season. Shame for us, but lets make the most of him while he is here. In fact I think the chances of us signing him permanently in the summer are increased if he goes back to Newcastle in January and flops up there.
