The Latest on Lua Lua?

[danwa08]

Does anyone know how lua lua is coming along?? are Newcastle in a position now, (when he's fit) to let him go out on loan again to be honest i can see him breaking into the first team and that being that. Was great when we had him hope we can buy him if if wants the move and newcastle let him go..

 

[Conkers]

I think how far Newcastle crash and burn under Pardew will be the deciding factor.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Grrr. I thought we were going to get a snippet of information. Question marks, please!

 

[danwa08]

i agree, lets hope the 35mil they have will be the deciding factor in letting us have him.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

i don't see how it could be considering they can't spend it

 

[magicman555]

apparently he will return when match fit.......

Indeed - perhaps a 'Does anybody know what's happening with LuaLua?' type thing next time

i don't see how it could be considering they can't spend it

thats obvious they can't spend it now, its about the end of the season

 

[Horsham Gull]

Is he not out of contract in the summer

 

[grummitts gloves]

If Ashley lets Pardew or whoever is their manager at the end of the season spend the money, then I would hope we can put a decent bid in for him. If his contract is up in the summer, then it would have to be one of the all time great robberies if we got him on a free! Can't see KLL making their first team, especially when Ben Arfa is fit again.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

"Have a mate who is a Brighton fan/season ticket holder and he says Lua Lua has been their best player this year and head or shoulders above any other player he has seen in the League."

And his fan mate is wrong. Commonly agreed on here at the time that Elliott Bennett is our player of the year I thought.

 

[Skaville]

Is he not out of contract in the summer

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

According to this website Kazenga LuaLua - Player profile - transfermarkt.co.uk his contract expires at the end of the season.

Of course, he would only be available free, if Newcastle were not to offer the same terms or an improved deal. Otherwise the two clubs would have to decide on a transfer fee, going to the tribunal if no fee can be agreed.

Edit:

Dated February 2010


Lua Lua today said :

“I don’t really know about my future there.

“After this season I’ve got one more year.

“I have been playing for Newcastle’s reserves for about five years now and I don’t want to keep playing for the reserves, so maybe in the summer it will be time for me to move.”

“We’ll see what happens. I have come here for a month and I will try to do my best in that time.

“If the manager would then like me to stay I’ll have no problem with that. I have come here to enjoy it, play more and help the team get more points.

 

[NMH]

He deserves a bit of loyalty from us, if he's fit - he showed great intent and interest for us, and certainly has the talent.

 

[glasfryn]

please Gus can we get him on loan till the end of this season then sign him up

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Indeed if he goes on loan somewhere else it's up in the air. If he comes back here for a (3rd?) loan you'd think we'd be front runners to sign him provided we matched contract terms with any other Champ clubs.

 

[Lush]

Another promotion chasing League 1 team might want him on loan, partly because he's a good player, partly to stop us getting him.

 

[Uncle C]

Is anyone else concerned that he seems a bit injury prone. In cases like this it doesn't take a lot to knock the edge off his speed, which is his main asset.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I think this injury was not really his body's fault, but I remember last season he got a hamstring? niggle that left him out for a couple of weeks.

 

[northstandsteve]

Huddersfiled want him aswell
