Lua Lua "keen on a move"

[chaileyjem]

The Sun this morning:
"KAZENGA LUALUA: The former Newcastle winger is understood to be keen on a move away from Brighton to get more game time. LuaLua won the Championship player of the month for August last season but is struggling to get in the team with Anthony Knockaert , Jiri Skalak and Jamie Murphy ahead of him in the pecking order. The Seagulls also have exciting wideman Solly March to return from injury."

Wouldn't be a big surprise would it?

What sort of fee would it take, I wonder?

 

[middletoenail]

If we can get decent money for him I wouldn't begrudge him a move. Injury prone and way down the pecking order.

 

[cooliobhafc]

Wow, can't say I am surprised, he is well down the order and to be honest, I don't think he has done much IMO this season when he has come off the bench. Doesn't seem to have the speed anymore, hasn't beaten anyone for pace for a while and just hasn't delivered. Don't get me wrong, would love to see the KLL of old but I don't think we will.

 

[Grombleton]

Is a game changer on his day, but unfortunately those days aren't all that often Shame really as him and Bong looked unstoppable on the left last season.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I'd let him move on to be honest. I think he looks like a player that needs a new environment.

 

[Easy 10]

I'd be sad to see him go, I've always been a big fan of his. He was in spectacular form a year ago until he got crocked, and has never looked like getting back to that level of performance. But then half the problem with that is just the amount of quality we've now got in the squad out wide, he's just not going to get the gametime to play his way back in.

Tis' a pity, but its probably time he moved on.

 

[Munchkin]

Thanks for the memories Kaz but I agree time to move on..

Just shows how far we've come if he's forth or fifth choice.

 

[fosters headband]

Been with us a long time now, right back to the Withdean days, but I can understand him wanting more game time and with the squad now that's likely to be very limited. Good luck to him if he can get a good deal elsewhere,

 

[smeg]

Maybe a bit controversial but for the last year or so i've seen him as a fringe player, a less then "super" sub who came on when we were losing to make things happen, more than likely we still lost.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Well, it's about time. He hasn't improved since we first signed him.

 

[spring hall convert]

Don't get me wrong, would love to see the KLL of old but I don't think we will.

Even that one was massively inconsistent and incapable of playing for a full 90 minutes outside of one purple patch at the beginning of last season excluding his time in League One.

 

[RM-Taylor]

This is different to what he said last week, agent talk trying to engineer a move by the looks of it.

 

[fosters headband]

Well, it's about time. He hasn't improved since we first signed him.

Thats a bit harsh when you take into account the injuries he has suffered.

 

[BensGrandad]

He doesnt produce what is needed for us but unfortunately the price we would want would price him out of most Div 1 clubs which is where he would be best suited as I cannot see many Championship clubs going after him.

 

[Napper]

Loved it when we signed him . Was rare we pulled things like that off back then.

Never know what to expect with Kaz so would like to keep but in reality he is our 5th best winger now.

No idea on money for him. He's only 25. 750k / 1m would be decent

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

shame as i'm a big fan of his, he has been unfortunate with injuries though and now has too many players ahead of him. He'd get regular game time at a lot of other clubs which I think is testament to our amount of quality in that area

he's given us many fond memories

 

[Da Man Clay]

Not got the technical ability to get in this side anymore. His pace is no longer enough with the other options we have. Shame but just hasn't progressed over the last few years apart from the odd month here and there.

 

[spring hall convert]

750k / 1m would be decent

Yeah, that's about what I was thinking. Could be good business for someone as well, he's got the raw materials, he's just never really got it together at this level.

 

[madinthehead]

I like him, as others have said, the Lua-Lua of old hasn't really resurfaced.. OK, it may do, given game time, but who would you drop for him? If he goes, hope he does well and hope that we get a good fee for him..
