Yes I get that we want to finish the season strongly, and yes I understand that NJ wants to try different formations, but it does look weird, to still be signing players when realistically mid table mediocrity is where we'll finish.
Have we maxed out our squad numbers, meaning that players have to be taken out?0 -
Have we ever had a player do a backflip for a celebration?0

From what NJ has said it seems he likes a balanced team. Currently we only have one winger in the squad and to play TC alone is to unbalance the team. By bringing in LuaLua he can now play with wingers in a balanced side and see how TC performs which will help him decide on next season's squad.5

Don’t know exactly but off the top of my head we’ll be fine, can have 25 registered and anyone under 20/21 doesn’t count which opens up a few squad places for us. Don’t think you can unregister players anywaykillerandflash said:Yes I get that we want to finish the season strongly, and yes I understand that NJ wants to try different formations, but it does look weird, to still be signing players when realistically mid table mediocrity is where we'll finish.

Like the honesty. Nice work NJ. He has decent contacts in the game. By far better than anybody we have had for some time.5

It doesn't matter. Now that the season is basically a dead rubber we can and should be looking at and planning for next season now - which is exactly what this type of deal is forkillerandflash said:Yes I get that we want to finish the season strongly, and yes I understand that NJ wants to try different formations, but it does look weird, to still be signing players when realistically mid table mediocrity is where we'll finish.

Has anyone verified this with Mrs LuaLua?Macronate said:"Nathan Jones has confirmed that Charlton are close to completing the signing of Kazenga LuaLua.
The club have agreed a deal to sign the former Brighton & Hove Albion and Luton Town winger, with LuaLua's arrival now subject to international clearance.
Speaking in his pre-Fleetwood press conference, the gaffer said: “We’ve agreed with Kazenga LuaLua. We're just waiting for international clearance to see whether he will be involved this weekend. He's a player that I've worked with over a number of years. I worked with him at Brighton where he was magnificent, and he came in and did a similar job for me at Luton.
"He's someone that we haven’t got here - in wide areas Tyreece Campbell is probably the only natural one. We wanted to have that option. I know Kazenga very well and he’s just left Greece so it was an ideal opportunity."
“He's one of those physical phenomenons that you could chuck him on the moon for a year and he'd come back and be able to be potent for a certain amount of minutes," explained Jones when asked if LuaLua is up to speed in terms of fitness.
"That's the type of athlete he is. He's a great lad, a fantastic player and he's had a real good career. I've always enjoyed working with him and he makes us as a group, as a club and hopefully as an 11 better."

It seems obvious that NJ is starting to try and put a squad together that he thinks will get us promoted next season nothing wrong with starting that process now imo7

Typical Charlton life comment. We need to do our business early............but not this early.AndyG said:It seems obvious that NJ is starting to try and put a squad together that he thinks will get us promoted next season nothing wrong with starting that process now imo5 -
Good news Nathan Jones is such a forward thinking manager and knows we can't just rely on one style of play next season so is looking to strengthen areas our previous manager etc neglected.3

I remember a player who played for a Harry Redknapp team. (possibly Spurs) was warned not to do his back somersault after scoring, he ignored it, did his somersault and got injured missing next games0

Ironically that was Kazengas brother Lomano LuaLua at Portsmouth. Think he did his hamstring.2 -
A good move in my opinion. NJ has come in, stopped the rot, given confidence back and now planning for next season! Lua Lua, Wickham and Fosu in line for longer contracts?0
-
Is Fosu confirmed to be training with us?0
-
Another clapped up old van or a classic car? 😉
Certainly was a great performer in his younger days; we'll see what he has left in the tank but Nathan Jones has given him a two week MOT so that's good enough for me.

Let's hope LuaLua can be our version of Gareth McCleary. In terms of impact and vital contributions.0

Nathan Jones Bargain Bin reds2

True mate but I would rather be atleast doing something now rather than wait until the last few days of the next window to capture some unfit loans 😜Todds_right_hook said:

He is Kazenga’s cousin, so must run in the family. Also didn’t know, Kazenga is Yanns brother in law!MartinCAFC said:

If this goes through it'll fill the post moon trip potency deficit this club has been screaming out for in it's squads for years.4 -
Always wanted LuaLua in the past.. just can't remember which one it was I was impressed by! Maybe both.0

Anyone know who this guy's brother in law is?7
