Time for LuaLua to say goodbye?

A MESSAGE FOR LUALUA, if you do indeed read this - as russellm suggests players often do read comments on fans sites - prove to us your determination and fighting spirit to stay at the club you say you love and show us the talent - on a regular basis - that we all know you have. dont let this go to waste mate... we all know what you are capable of and all want you to be part of our future success but for this we need players that want to be here and that want to play as a team. if this is something you are unwilling to do then we all know what the solution is... time will tell what happens with lualua and pompey, but if you stay show us the real lualua - not the lualua were have seen all too much recently...

He has a bad year off the pitch & that has the obvious bad impact on the pitch. He is only human after all. I think he does need to move on for his sake. Pompey has already moved on.

With all due respect here, a lot of people suffer loss of children young and old - my great gran lost 9 out of 12 of her children in the early part of the last century - but still don't let their life disappear down the pan as a result. Am I the only one thinking we're kicking the arse out of this excuse on his behalf?

slightly changing the subject it seems Kanu has thrown down an ultimatum today. For me two goals in 4 months is just not good enough so i expect the wage bill will have a large ommission to off set against the expected adds.

LL, thanks for all you have done. but goodbye!

Lualua, one of the most talented and exciting players in the Premiership that can unlock any defence on his day. Without doubt the hero of the hour two seasons ago when he destroyed Southampton with his stunning display, ripping apart their defence and had he not been injured would certainly without doubt have got his hattrick.

Then his following season fell apart, emotional problems, injury problems, a desire to be successful only adding to his frustration.

Get of his back people, this guy has got the talent, energy and provided people get behind him, the attitude to take this club further. He has had a lot to contend with and whilst we cannot carry passengers, he has shown frequently why we need to keep hold of him. I'd sooner have him in our squad than having to face him at least twice in a season in someone elses.

I am sure that with this season now well andtruly out of the way, he will use the summer to get back to his best and with Kanu out of the way, he will be able to start the season with the strength of Benjani beside him - a pairing that when fit I feel would be one of the most devastating in the Premiership.

If Laulua does indeed read these sites Pompeyrug, I hope he takes you up on your challenge, I have always rated the guy and could not believe it when we first signed him on loan.

Good luck for the coming season Lualua, show everyone what your made of but please take this little piece of advice; don't hog the ball, use other payers too, don't get involved in issues off the field that you know will not only bring you in contempt but also the club. Be proud, be loud, be alive again Lualua, remember what Treasor means.

TPB, yep he does have the talent and whilst i do hope that he can take me up on my challenge i am not sure he can/will... in a way i cant quite understand why you are so quick to write off kanu but do not like the thought of people doing the same with lualua? fair enough the fella has been here longer and we all know what he can do but at the same time kanu has been around the block a few times with some of europe's finest - so the fella obviously has something about him too... lualua has had a lot to contend with but he does not help himself with alot of the abuse that is directed towards him... as said i love the fella and would love for it to work out for him here, but i am not sure it will?

For me Pompeyrug, whilst Lualua sometimes moans about the supporters getting on his back (something that Kanu doesn't really get is booing and Lualua has had to deal with a lot and it disgusts me, they are scum who do that), Lualua has not held the Club to ransom by saying give me a longer contract or I'm off. He has stuck to his game, he has applied himself and I am certain he will be back to his good self next season.

Kanu on the other hand threw his bricks out of his pram, spat his dummy on the floor and threw a hissy fit because he was only offered a 1 year contract - has he not actually asked himself why?? Until Harry brought him here, Kanu had no offers whatsoever and was out of contract at West Brom, which means he would not even have been playing. He should be grateful for the opportunity Harry gave him, instead of biting the hand that has fed him for the last ten months.

Lualua may be a shadow of his former self, but that I am sure is a temporary issue, especially when you consider what he has gone through. I defy anyone to not have been affected by the way he was treated when his son died and the his country's coach didn't tell him about it until after the ANC was over - that was a major catalyst for a lot of what happened.

At least Lualua an run too, Kanu can't even run a bath!
