Why mid August I wonder?

Not sure. Maybe as that coincides with the start of the Premiership? Still not sure why that would make a difference though

I don't think Gus will wait that long. He hinted this morning that other targets will be pursued (including a purchase if neccessary) if Kazenga is not available for the Swindon game.

Maybe we've ended our interest due to the wait, and that's why Bournemouth are involved.

Anyone know when the loan window closes? Maybe Newcastle are holding out for a transfer, and will only go down the loan route if nobody offers to buy?

In the Argus?

Getting bored of this now, I expect Gus is too.
I'd prefer it if we could buy him instead of loan him.

Can't see why Newcastle are doing this? Unless they want to sale and are holding out for that? Doesn't make sense if they are definitely going to loan him out he clearly did well with us last season so why not again. Just suggests they want to sell to me.

Slightly off topic, how do teams like Man City get round this?
They have given squad numbers to 59 players

Yeah. He came across as quite annoyed that he was expecting Kazenga to be here last week and that Newcastle were dragging their heels. He said that a permanent purchase of a winger would happen if the situation wasn't resolved this week. He also hinted at a loan winger, which he said may possibly leave the door open for Kazenga.

other premiership clubs have already loaned players out so this is just Newcastle. Maybe they are waiting to sign someone and are keeping LuaLua available as a squad member just in case? Let's see how Smith and Baz get on. We may not want him by the time Newcastle decide
Poyet said this morning in the Argus that he thought Hughton was allowing Lua Lua to come last week and that we are now looking to buy someone. He then said (obvious i guess) that if we do buy someone Lua Lua will not be coming, but if we only get someone else on loan he could still come.
So.. who could the other targets be, If he is looking to buy, i guess that rules out the other name put out on here (Andros Townsend), maybe we are looking at Monkhouse again?

sounds like he is trying to force their hands
we have Smith and Baz as cover fot the first 3 or 4 games. It's not a season-breaker
They can't get around it. They're going to have a number of players who aren't allowed to play in the Prem this season.
Smith looked really very good in the game against Aberdeen - his thumping shot which nearly snapped the post in half was incredible.
And both him and Bennett looked very comfortable swapping sides.
Not really worried about Lua Lua joining now to be perfectly honest. If he does it'll be a bonus.

I haven't made up my mind about Smith yet. Thought he looked a bit weak at times whilst also looking pretty comfortable at others. Aberdeen were hardly much of an opposition either so I can see him struggling against the stronger players of League 1

he played really well at Huddersfield until Kuipers got sent off. He was then subbed so Graeme
Smith could make his debut....
