iamafox Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Erm Er.... Kirkland? If Kasper goes that is . I'd definitely take Antonio but not sure whether he's ready for the big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 That's where I think he'll end up too. Sadly I can see him staying in the midlands - close to his roots/family - maybe going to Forest or Derby although I hope not. Maybe one of the Birmingham teams will come in for him depending on what leagues they are all in. I do hope he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 If it's only a question of a 1 or 2 year contract then I'd be willing to offer a 2 year contract but at championship wages. He could then sample the Prem from the bench and then we could sell him to a championship club after a few months when we have another replacement in for him easily. Win - Win for us.

5_Westwood Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Lloyd has been a fantastic servant for this club and I think that's why he wants two years, and maybe it's not about the amount of money he could make only taking one year? maybe he just wants some security that he will still have a club for the next two years, preferably one that he clearly has an affinity for.I understand he hasn't been a key player since January but he still offers something different, a genuine old school wide man which Mahrez and Knockaert are not, and that is in no way a criticism of the two of them as they have been superb, however we'll need as many different options to use in the Premier League and as a player who has been with us since the League One days I feel we should give him 2 years, considering we were desperate to keep hold of him in summer when other clubs were sniffing around.....

Bluearmy 316 Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 If he doesn't want a year in the prem he's mad. But if he does go it frees up a lot of money as he would be one of the higher earners in the club. With that money lets hope Walsh finds another gem.

Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 I can understand his thinking tbh. At his age he wants regular football and he will struggle to get that with us next season and I can't see him being happy to sit on the bench all season I've got nothing but respect for him and everything thing he has done for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Can see the perspective of both sides here, but Lloyd would be silly to refuse. What a chance to play in the Prem and if he does well he'll get another year. Have faith in yourself Lloyd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Reckon he'd sign a year with a possible extension depending on appearances. He's just testing the water to see if I can sneak 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 In one season in the prem he will earn more than two seasons elsewhere. And at 31 to play in the prem this is his last chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at 31 to play in the prem this is his last chance The thing is though, will he actually play in the prem? Or be on the bench all season?

kingfox Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 If he does leave, I may cry. What a great servant he has been to this football club, we have had some shit wingers down the years, but he has been up there with some of the best we've had especially in the past 10 years. I will miss shouting "Run Usain" everytime he gets the ball. One of a few players, I really love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Interesting. Thanks for the memories, Lloyd. Least of all the title-sealing goal vs Bolton. I would have thought he'd take up a year in the Premier League. I wonder what wage he was offered and what he wanted, regardless of how long the contract was.

Bryn Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Just to play devil's advocate, there are other motivations in footballing life, and I don't just mean money. Lloyd always looks like he enjoys his football and he's a hard worker. He's spent spells out of the team here and I doubt he enjoys it. Playing in the Premier League would be richly deserved for him in his heart he perhaps knows he's not really of that standard. He probably, and rightly, looks at the career and thinks "You know what, that's not half bad. I'm not Gareth Bale but I've got Champions medals for the two highest levels of the football league". He should be proud of that, and maybe feels he'd regret spending the twilight of his career not in the matchday squad more than he would missing out on the Premier League. That's not even going into money matters, he has a young family does he not? Lot to be said for job security. He's been the only player I would describe as a true icon and servant of this club from the last decade and deserves to depart with his head held high and all the goodwill we can muster. He will be a great signing for any Championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 I reckon he'll stay, he'll sit down and think about it, he won't get another club in the Premier League and he's well liked and settled in Leicester so that may change his mind. I think the club are right to only offer one year, in any case. If he does well next year in whatever role he could well get another contract offer.

-blue- Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Don't forget the role that 'Advisers' have in modern football, no doubt someone will be filling his head with all sorts of nonsense. This is just the start of a series of 'negotiations' such as players contracts / sponsorship deals etc .....

KFS Posted 2 May 2014 Share Posted 2 May 2014 Even though usually I'd be adverse to pandering to a player, we could give these a go since it's Lloyd: Please don't go, Dyer Please don't go, Please don't go, Dyer Please don't go, Please don't go, Dyer Please don't go Oh Lloyd please don't go Or: Dyer, sign the ting, Dyer, Dyer, sign the ting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
