If it was done they would just announce it.

 

[terry1]

Why would they so desperately want it announced? Its Lua Lua, not Jesus like some people seem to think. He will be confirmed when gus thinks it is right. Dont know why people are soo paranoid. If Gus is relaxed about the situation then its fine

 

[danwa08]

lol, we sign him, we sign him, we don't, we don't......

 

[supaseagull]

Why are people so worried? We know he's going to sign at some point and the season doesn't start til august 6th! Just chill guys and enjoy the summer!

Newcastle start training on 5 July 2011.

I was gonna make a comment, but it has been done to death so I won't. I am more intrigued by whom else might be joining us

I was at the Amex today for a tour and was told the stumbling block is the medical and to do with his ankle. They are trying to get it sorted and he still looks likely to sign but its all to do with being able to get him insured etc.

That, from what i've heard adds up and is the truth IMO...

 

[BrickTamland]

Finally! Something which actually sounds reasonable and from a good source (although not 100% they would just tell anyone). Iv'e always thought that even if he did fail his medical he would sign, as it's nothing we didn't already know, just some extra paperwork to be sorted out by all parties involved.

From that can we assume Newcastle played him when he wasn't 100% or has it been aggravated since the games he played at the end of the season? Guess we'll never know.

Maybe. But maybe the break just healed slightly funny or something and it flagged up...? I really dunno how medicals work...

I may be missing the point here but why wait to announce it. If Lua Lua is coming, then announce it. The feel good factor twice would be immense with the special signing especially after Elliott Bennett and Glen Murray's departures and though we have acquired 2 main players, at the moment they are untested in Gus's way of playing the negotiations must now be down to pounds, shillings and pence.

I believe someone else has come in for him and a bidding war is going on behind the scenes. If it's Paul Lambert again then feck him. This situation concerns me a little, in fact seems reminiscent of when Reading kept knocking at our door stealing our players and ultimately our manager. As for the Special Player, with pre-season training starting next Monday, this business would ideally be done in time for that

I think they mainly check out longer term stuff (ie bones which haven't healed) but as I said earlier I don't think we found anything out we didn't already know, just a case of confirming it all and then sorting out some minor admin stuff.

The second point you made is true, but pre-season training starts next Monday !!!!!!!

I guess we will find out in tomorrows argus! I don't think that has happened otherwise Gus wouldn't be "relaxed". I'm still confident Lualua meant he would only play for BHA if he didn't stay a newcastle, but as they say there is not loyalty in football.
