RizLCFC Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2270950/Stoke-want-Jack-Butland.html Bolton meanwhile want to sign Lloyd Dyer from Leicester. Dyer, 30, has 18 months left on his contract. The winger is also being monitored by Crystal Palace, Leeds and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Happy Fox Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Dyer won't go unless we have a replacement lined up, and also factor in someone who is stupid enough to bid silly money for him.
Libertine Dream Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 They can do one unless we have a replacement lined up
Deucalion Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Much as I love Lloyd, I think we could do better. We should only sell him if we have a solid replacement lined up though. He can still be useful this year.
sdb Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Would be stupid to get rid at the mo, especially to one of those clubs
Vardinhio Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Seriously under-rated. He may not have it all but there are limited player that can just pick up the ball and drive forward to the byliine with relative ease. Replace him with another Marshall-esque type player and we lose another attribute from our team. I actually personally think he's good enough for the Prem. Dyer is a Pearson player, he has a clear use, function and purpose.
dmayne7 Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 He won't go unless he is forced to. He loves it here and NP won't be getting rid of him. Despite his shortcomings, a player like Dyer is useful to have in the squad at any level
TheUltimateWinner Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Cameron in Dyer out. Honestly, I think he's over-rated and only puts a good performance in every 10 games. He's 30, we can do better.
I am Rod Hull Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Rod Hull Lloyd Lloyd is all I care about, please dont go
Charl91 Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 I hope he doesn't go - I'm impressed that he stayed and fought for his place. When he's on form he's untouchable.
Albert Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Not a big fan of Lloyd and he wouldn't be in my first 11 but I see the value of him as a squad player. Although his final product is often poor his pace frightens teams to death at times. This can only be a benefit to us in this important run in. Would be mad to let him go at this time

LcFc_Smiv Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 In all honesty none of our wide men have been majorly consistent over the season, so it seems harsh to judge Dyer on that. While he lacks end product he still gives defenders a tough day with his pace and is an added threat. We know Lloyd likes to go into hibernation over the winter months, lets just hope he's back to putting in some of those performances we saw from him earlier in the season.
Happy Fox Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 NP isn't stupid he wouldn't let Dyer go without a better replacement lined up.
Albert Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Get out of here! You're not allowed to have an opinion and still be rational The man couldn't cross a road let alone a football!! Will prob be shouting for him to be sold at some point tomorrow night
Raw Dykes Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I think his experience could be valuable to for the rest of the season. There's only really Morgan, Konch and Nuge in the first team who aren't at the beginning of their careers. I really don't think we'd let him go unless we had a good replacement lined up and the money was right. I'm sure he'd rather not leave, especially to go to one of those clubs named. As others have said, although his crossing and shooting is lacking most the time, he's got to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest full stop, in the league, and I'm sure tired defenders hate to see his number come up near the end of matches.
GingerrrFox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I'm hearing rumours that Nige fancies Nathan Redmond and I don't mean fancy as in take you out for valentines day.
Dan Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Pointless if we've got no-one lined up. I agree we can probably do better but really, you consider all things such as the fact he seems content with being rotated, the fact he's been here years and has fought for his place rather than escaping at the first chance, is it really worth letting him go? He's actually quite a good fit for our squad and I think selling him, unless we're offered decent money for him, is completely pointless and puts us under unnecessary pressure to get a new man in. He's not a long-term player by any means, if we went up I think he'd probably have to be sold as he's simply not even close to being a PL standard player, even in the squad, but for now he's good enough for me in our squad and although we can do better, I think there's more to consider than his ability and he ticks a lot of the right boxes.
Dan Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I'm hearing rumours that Nige fancies Nathan Redmond and I don't mean fancy as in take you out for valentines day. Just looked, still at Birmingham?! Fvcking hell. Not sure though, think he'd be a typically over-priced English youngster and yes whilst he'd be good enough for us in this league, I think we'd have to pay well over the odds.

Nugents 27 ! Why do people keep referring to him as a seasoned pro ? This imsnt a dig at you specifically but every where he's mentioned it's like he's in his early 30's.
berniethebolt Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 No point in selling him. The guys a decent squad player (not my first choice) who can change a game when up against a cart horse of a right back. I suspect hes on a fair contract and not over paid, hes a dedicated lad who does not mind a spell on the bench and I don't suspect he has a massive market rate, so why risk rocking the boat, leave it till next year when hopefully we have been promoted, then the lad can look to extend his playing career.
J.Lisemore Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Has been and still is a very good winger for us, for a player that has given his all for this club he gets a lot of unfair criticism.
Bettsj2 Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 One element that is essential to any squad is pace. I cant think of a player that could possibly match Lloyd in that department. Despite his shortfalls, he causes so much mayhem when running at defenders. Away at Bristol when he came on, his shooting and crossing was awful, but there was always a corner won or a throw won in a dangerous position. He's not someone you'd build a team around and not one of the first names on the teamsheet, but when he plays, the opposition always stick 2 men on him which if anything, leaves space for others. Should not sell.
rico Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 He blows hot and cold,but would still keep him as a squad player,deserves a crack at the Prem if we go up
