Fit but doesn't want to play. Fluff in the belly button or something
He's been 'almost ready' for about a month. Frustrating.

Best player on the field earlier this season, or at least on par with Kayal and Stephens

Brighton have averaged 1.67 ppg since he last played, before that we were averaging 2.5 ppg (if my maths is right which I think it is...).
Whilst it would be silly to attribute that difference solely to LuaLua's absence it is extremely telling IMO.

The sonnet the better , had a cracking start to the season , can't wait for him to start again . I think they are really being extra careful as they don't want him to break down , perhaps they are being over cautious

Didn't travel with the team, saw him driving through Burgess Hill about 30 mins before kick-off
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
He resumed full training last week, but the Burnley game was too soon for him (according to the Argus)
Lua Lua is faster than a car
Alas his injury record is on par
With sicknote Vicente who we all adored
But never played enough for us all to roar
etc
How am I doing so far?

We should just use him as an impact sub when he is back, even when he has been played like that he has been injured for chunks of the season. Aren't his injuries always the same? Too much football and he gets injured it seems. Playing him regularly for 90 mins is possibly not a good idea. Beginning of last season and this he has played full games and ended up with a long term injury after not many games. Or did I just make that up?

Have to disagree, at 24! this season, he is starting to look like he is mature enough and understands enough about the game that he should be doing 90 mins. He was always a talent, but is now something special. Hopefully we will be able to say the same again about Solly and JFC in 3 years time

Oh I totally agree re the talent, I just think his body can't take the rigours of playing many full games. In fairness he doesn't receive much protection from refs.
He was our best player early last season and this though.
