Guest Col city fan Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 It's always good to know when you've been beaten. No, of laughter..
ScouseFox Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 i'm going to cry if the website doesn't load soon. prepare yourself mark.
Buzzell Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Fair play to him of he's been offered a 3 year deal else where. It gives him security which obviously we couldn't offer him. It's not a big loss for us though. Of course Dyer would of been a brilliant impact player next year for us, but we have Knocky and Mahrez, and I'm sure Pearson will bring someone in to replace Dyer. Nathan Redmond would be an ideal replacement.
Ric Flair Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 It always makes me laugh about " security " for players. It's hardly as if he's going to go a spell without a club whatever happens. The likely scenario is he'd take a year with us on more dough than can realistically be offered by Championship teams, he'll either be in the first team set up and if he does well then he'll get another year. If not he'll be shipped out on loan mid way through next season and then they'll get him for a nominal fee and he'll sign a 2+ year deal. There's literally no financial hard ship story for Lloyd here. I think personally he doesn't fancy the gig and is more comfortable in the lower leagues.
weller54 Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 He's NOT a premiership level player, but one thing is for sure... He'll be replaced by one!!...
Fox96 Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 Good servant but don't think he'd be good enough next year, has the pace just lacks the rest imo, for every good run he's had, there's one where he's ran down the wing and just stopped because he doesn't seem to know what to do
Rich Fox Posted 6 May 2014 Posted 6 May 2014 He cannot be to confident about cutting it in the Premier league himself if he is thinking of leaving.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 He's NOT a premiership level player, but one thing is for sure... He'll be replaced by one!!... One might argue he's already been replaced by one - Mahrez.
MPH Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 He cannot be to confident about cutting it in the Premier league himself if he is thinking of leaving. Possibly...... But its much harder to get a contract at aged 33 and unemployed than it is aged 32 and unemployed.....
MattGamble92 Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 The last 10 years have been painfully shit at times. Him and Andy King have been the closest thing we have to legends. It's an over used term but i certainly wouldn't mind using it on a man who has shown so much commitment, loyalty and passion for my club.
hackneyfox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Sorry but I can't believe any club would offer a near 32 year old a 3 year contract when their entire game is based on pace, especially with FFP kicking in.
Kitchandro Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Soon as the cash is flashed all that seems to go out the window. Remember Etoo and Carlos both saying they wouldn't turn up in Russia to play Champions league if they were racially abused again then months later an oligarch was at Anzhi offering them 250-300k a week and they were over there to play every week in the league. Don't want Lloyd to go to Forest but if we can accept Wes from them I suppose we have to accept it the other way. I accepted Wes deciding to make the right choice and come to us. He changed his ways for the better. Lloyd leaving us for them though is sickening. That's the wrong way around.
Vardinhio Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 I think Dyer still loves in the West Mids so I suspect he would jump at a longer term contract somewhere like Forest. I would love him to stay and part of me still thinks he might. I suspect he is playing hard ball!
ealingfox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Wolves is a great shout for him if he really has to leave us. Naive to say I can see him popping up in Leicester away ends here and there next season?
LeicesterBran Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 I'd be gutted if he went altough he has been inconsistent for us. Lloyd has chipped in with some nice strikes and important goals. Wish he'd sign a one year deal as it would probably be his one and only chance to play in the Premier League. I think he could be a useful player to bring off the bench with his pace which is his biggest attribute. Anyone if he departs there are better options available.
ealingfox Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 One thing's for sure, if he does leave Lloyd will be the first former Fox whose career I will actively follow post-LCFC since Muzzy Izzet left (and Kermo obviously).
XLM Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Certainly won't change my opinion of him if he leaves. Been absolutely fantastic for us, and on his day he's been the best winger in the league. Deserves so much praise for acting professionally even through dodgy spells of treatment under Sven, and whenever we signed other left midfielders. Anyone who's been involved in 2 promotions, 2 play-offs and a champions winning season deserves legendary status. (cue Conrad Logan).
Vardinhio Posted 7 May 2014 Posted 7 May 2014 Lloyd strikes me as the kind of player who wants to play week in week out and one that shys away from the limelight. You can see in his manner that he isn't as "banter" as the other lads so I'd imagine ultimately he would love a 3 year contract at a midlands team where he knows he will play regularly. It will be a shame to see him go and a shame for him not to play in the premier league. I think Nige will want him to stay though so let's see.
weller54 Posted 17 May 2014 Posted 17 May 2014 Dyer off to join Watford then!!!!.. Can't remember him ever playing for Udinese???
