Lua Lua new contract

[8ace]

Great news

 

[Bombadier Botty]

I don't know why but I find it bizarre that Lua Lua is one of our current longest serving players. Never really got the impression that he genuinely likes playing for us. Maybe it's just me. Good news, either way.

You're on the money there Grimble, but you could say that about a lot of our players in recent seasons and I think part of that is having managers who weren't overtly personable in Oscar and Hyypia. Hopefully with Chris we usher in a new dawn on that front, with all the players calling him daddy like they did with Gus (or similar) and loving playing for the club.

When he can contribute for 90% of a season then come back to me. Injury prone aswell.

Quoted from Chailey Gem,

In the last 12 matches before he was injured against Fulham. He started in 9 of them and was sub (and came on) for two. Hyypia's few successes was getting the best out of KLL and he's been relatively injury free for a while now. In fact he gets quite irked if you call him a "super sub" or "injury prone". And this season he'd be right.

Like I said, name me another player in our current squad who can play like Kaz. Scored some great goals for the club and slot more worthy of a new deal than some.

 

[B.W.]

Fantastic news. Well done to the club, and looking forward to seeing Kaz back playing soon.

 

[Dick Head]

Hurrah!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Great news! This also helps the sustainability for Nandos for the next 3.5 yrs too. Chicken lickin good!

 

[Zebedee]

Great news and I don't give a damn who thinks otherwise. A big well done to the club.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Just because he scores about 1 in 10 games does not mean he only plays well 1 in 10 games. Classic case of fans not being able to see what players contribute besides goals.

Can't cross

 

[beardy gull]

Great news. My favourite player. Well done club. Really hope it's not a Elliott Bennett type long term deal though....

 

[theboybilly]

My favourite player.

The only squad member who has the skill to change a game on his own.

He'll never change a game when he starts but may just succeed in doing so against inferior, tiring opposition in a 20-minute cameo. Otherwise it's a case of tiresome looking for fouls and (mostly) wayward shooting. There are far better players out there.
To suggest that he has been anywhere near our best player this season when you only have to look at Dunk or Stockdale is just daft.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Hes goals and assists stats are poor. Hes exciting , but very little end product .

 

[Albion_Dave]

Great news. Him and Dunk have been the stand out players in what's been a difficult season so far.

This argument could of held firm in the past but not now , you only have to see what we lack since he's been injured ( last 2 games excluded )to disprove your theory .

Genuine game changer if starting or off the bench . Not sure why knocking when we have so few

I never said he was our best player this season.

Were you at the Leicester game a couple of years ago, when he got that crucial equaliser with 5 mins to go? Not sure they were inferior.....

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Great news, love him as an impact WINGER 'last 30 mins v tired defenders'. Not sure he and a few others see it so but we'll see.

 

[8ace]

People like to criticise his crossing but forget that most of the time he's crossing with his weaker foot.

 

[surrey jim]

Great news

 

[Icy Gull]

People like to criticise his crossing but forget that most of the time he's crossing with his weaker foot.

And there's nobody in the box to meet the cross most of the time anyway

 

[catfish]

Excellent news. Love watching him when he's having one of his good games.

 

[severnside gull]

And there's nobody in the box to meet the cross

We are Brighton. We play our way.

And we don't DO players in the box.





Seriously. Could not be more delighted with this news. It had been quiet on the contract front for so long I was certain Kaz was holding out "a la Barnes" and would be gone by the end of the month. I know there were clubs interested in him.
Quality player with the ability to excite and to change games.
