Really hope this happens. Just watching him play justifies the cost of a season ticket. I wonder if £1.2m is the opening bid and how high we would go - £1.5m to bag him?

 

[Hotchilidog]

Agreed, was going to post something similar. Having options is the key here, players get injured, lose form and get tired during a season and Gus will want decent cover for when that happens.

Also don't forget Jamie Smith. If he starts the season like he did last year I think he'll have a part to play, even if it's on another 6 month contract.

Good shout re Jamie Smith who I hope will be given the opportunity to to prove himself. The midfield unit looks formidable even without the addition of KLL with Dicker, Navarro, Sparrow providing the muscle and some craft joined by the flair of Buckley, Noone, Smith and not forgetting Jake Caskey-Forster.

Just hope we start recruiting centre and full backs and the final striker soon.

Good stuff. The Sun is meant to be quite reliable when it comes to these kind of stories isn't it?

Absolutely. They'll guess/share 100 transfer gossip stories, and without fail every time 1 of them will turn out to be right.

 

[Simster]

I'm not sure we'd spend £1.2 million on KLL for him to be an impact sub.

I'd expect it to be Buckley on the right and KLL on the left, to provide crosses for Hoskins and A.N. Other.

If he feels KLL is worth bringing in, then I'd expect Gus to either a) take the view that Noone isn't good enough at this level to start regularly or b) seriously consider Buckley as a potential striker (he has operated there before) who can switch to playing winger when Gus wants to change the formation of the side for tactical reasons.

An element of b) but I'd add in c) competition for places and cover for injuries and d) getting special players when they're available before someone else does

Given our position when we signed him, I cannot imagine Gus has the view that Noone can't cut it at Championship level. Very much (b) I'd imagine, but also for cover as well as tactical...

That's exactly how I thought it out,
We get turned down and go back with £1.4 and the deals done

I would hope that we do not spend that amount of money on Kazenga Lua Lua as I think it could be better spent on other players unless of course he can persuade his brother Lomana to also join us. I do not believe that he offers that much more than Noone except a bit faster but his delivery isnt as good.

 

[peterward]

It is a lot of money, but its an investment in a 19 year old man, with Kaz's blistering pace, i reckon we could sell him easily for 1 million any day, though probably with improvement a lot more.

He scores spectacular goals [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION]

Lua Lua to F**king Norwich in 1 year anybody

Easy has also wisely used this in the same context. I think it's down to NSC to find a smiley.

KLL is the most exciting raw talent seen at this club this side of Bobby Zamora. If it takes that kind of money to get him here, if that money is available and if he wants to come, we would be MAD not to get him.

Where is Lomana these days, anyway?

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee make it happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No chance of 'A'... Gus signed Noone & was quoted saying at the same time that he still wants Lua Lua. They are both in his plans. I am under the impression that Buckley will be mainly used as a winger, or part of a front 3 so there is only room for 2 of Lua Lua, Noone & Buckley in the starting line-up without one of them dropping in to the behind the striker role, which we may do when we are playing weaker opponents at home.

Shaping up nicely with what we've got so far (assuming we sign KLL & not taking injuries into account). The fact that Barnes, Elphick, Sparrow & Navarro don't make the team & we are yet to sign a new striker (I'm expecting 2) and a centre back, means our bench is going to be VERY strong.

Dare I say it - one to challenge for promotion next year!

Indeed, there are times when just doesn't quite do it justice. The excitement is far more genital than that.

 

[Easy 10]

The sheer PACE in that team will be absolutely FRIGHTENING

KLL is an exciting raw talent but I think that he is a bit of luxury who looks good in the side when we look good but not sure how he would fare in a wet wnter game against Championship defenders who want to kick the s..t out of anything that moves. Monano is in Greece but is experienced and is on;ly 31 yerars old.
