Lua bid rejected

Harry Redknapp is keen on securing the services of the Democratic Rebublic of Congo international forward, but is stalling due to the price.

Newcastle paid Colchester £2.25 million for Lua and, while playing sublimely at times, has failed to perform consistently enough at St. James'.

When Lua-Lua refused to come back for Marseille, that was it, in my opinion. I'd take any price and reduce the wage bill. Voice your opinions on the messageboard.
