Struggling to understand why any club would want to sign such an injury prone player? He’s a decent player no doubt, but he seems to only be available for around half of the season. In fact I’m struggling a bit to understand why we’d even want to retain such an injury prone player, perhaps it’s a blessing that his contract is expiring. With him and Fredericks we have been very stretched in that area at times.
Agree. The more worrying thing is he is our replacement option looking at yesterday’s team for two key players one of whom is injury prone and the other is a potential for suspension. We are a heartbeat away from Mepham at LCB and Dango at lb.He's not an injury prone player at all. He’s having a season of niggles, it happens, you struggle with one injury your body compensates and you struggle with something else.
Last season he played 3/4 of the entire Premier League season, in the championship he played 79 of 92 games.
He’s a quality 25 year old who can play in two positions equally well, that’s why he’s worth his weight in gold to us and why top level sides across Europe are desperate to nab him on a bargain deal.

Quite a few rumours about Lloyd going to Newcastle, here's one
I thought you weren't allowed to enter talks until the last month of the season?
'If' Kelly is off, I'd like to think we'll see Kerkez over Kelly at all times now. For me, Kelly should only be playing if we have no other options...
I'll be sad to to see Kelly go... Never understood the hate for him but he brings versatility, composure, pace, and experience. As SDD mentioned, losing him will cost us 2 players...
Meps has proven on several occasions that he can more than cut it at this level... He is no Senesi or Kelly, but he is a solid CB at this level. He'll move on purely through lack of minutes, which is. a shame but understandable...Agree with this. Given that we will probably be effectively safe by the time he returns from injury I would even probably keep meps in ahead of him, unless he's also moving on.

Can't believe that folks are still judging his ability based on the Brentford incident...
The Welsh manager wanted them playing regular football and Brooks and Moore moved for that purpose, but Mepham remained, by his own choosing, no other club came in for him or our club needed defensive backup?You'd imagine that at this age he'll be wanting regular 1st team football, given sporadic nature of appearances over many years with us?

Interviews lately clearly suggest his willingness to be a team player is waning and wants to play regularly. Don’t blame him. Must be hard to come on as sub or replace an established player when not match fit. Training isn’t the same as playing regularly.You'd imagine that at this age he'll be wanting regular 1st team football, given sporadic nature of appearances over many years with us?
Like Jefferson did'If' Kelly is off, I'd like to think we'll see Kerkez over Kelly at all times now. For me, Kelly should only be playing if we have no other options...

Lerma was a little different... We were still fighting to stay up util 4 games to go and didn't really have cover of equal ability...Like Jefferson did
Im not worried about relegation. I just like to enjoy watching good football and not sure I get that with Dango at left back as opposed to an orthodox left back.relax, we're safe only needing a few more wins having had an impresssive season of transition/consolidation in the prem. relegation odds same as Chelsea's at 200-1. Why are you so worried?
