Lua Lua "keen on a move"

[symyjym]

Did he injure his groin last year because of his acrobatic celebrations?

 

[Marshy]

Can't believe people would be happy with 1 million, I would want way more that that

 

[GT49er]

I'd let him move on to be honest. I think he looks like a player that needs a new environment.

Agreed. Best all round I think, so long as we get a reasonable fee for him.

What did we pay for Murphy? Was it £2m if so Lua Lua would be £1m to £1.5m top whack.

 

[Bwian]

Probably best for him and The Albion if a decent fee can be had for him-Newcastle have money to burn...

He isn't the game changing sub that he could be a couple of years ago-maybe a new club makes sense.

 

[pishhead]

I could see him easily getting a move within the championship. It's only because of our riches in wide areas that he won't get a look in. Could easily see someone like Fulham, Ipswich, Bristol City or Forest willing to take a punt on him.

Can't believe anybody would pay us more than that. It's the market that decides the price, not what we want.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Maybe a bit controversial but for the last year or so i've seen him as a fringe player, a less then "super" sub who came on when we were losing to make things happen, more than likely we still lost.

Agree. If KLL had actually turned more games and was not just a part of the losing or drawing formula then I don't think he would be fighting so hard for playing time. He did make things exciting in many matches but many of those matches ended unfavourably to the Albion.

Only as a squad player not guaranteed to start, which he has here, so why move?

 

[crabface]

Its the Sun so take it with a pinch of salt. He had a great start to last season and a cracking understanding with Bong, but since the injury he hasnt looked the same. Is well down the pecking order so if we could get a good price think it would be sensible to cash in.

 

[Seasidesage]

£2-3m agree with others that it's time for him to move on.

 

[MrSnuggles]

Need to keep him! He's still a game changer, gets the opposition booked, and defenders are terrified of him! He offers something different from our other wingers.

 

[Marshy]

Can't believe anybody would pay us more than that. It's the market that decides the price, not what we want.

Exactly and the market is bloody crazy currently ! Hence we should get a lot more than 1 million.
He still has a good amount of time on his contract too

 

[pishhead]

Only as a squad player not guaranteed to start, which he has here, so why move?

Would he be 3rd or 4th choice in either of those sides? He certainly is here. I would suggest an on song Lua-Lua would be a better left wing option than any of the mentioned clubs already have.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I actually think it was more likely with a woman trying to show his athletic prowess went beyond the pitch. If you know what I mean.

 

[worthingseagull123]

Best of luck if he moves on. Get a decent League One side (Coventry) and I'm sure he will be back in Championship next season

 

[BensGrandad]

No longer a game changer, not very good with his defensive duties and nobody surely would pay £2m for him. We can only bring him on when the game is won now where in the past we brought him on in the hope of winning.

 

[Triggaaar]

If he stays, he'll win us points. It would need to be a decent fee or there's no point.

 

[worthingseagull123]

We wouldn't get it. It will be a few hundred grand. He has not had the game time to demonstrate he is worth more.

500,000 tops I reckon

The market is not crazy enough to pay over £1M for a fifth choice injury prone winger. We apparently paid about £2M for Murphy, which would make LuaLua's evaluation about £1M max.
