Just seen the news that Lloyd has signed
a 3 year deal with Watford. I knew this was
on the cards but I'm really sorry to see him
go. I was hoping he'd stay and enjoy the
Prem as he'd played a huge part in getting
us there.
Good luck Lloyd and thanks for everything
you've done for us over the past 6 years.
Here's wishing you all the best for the
future. You are a top class professional
and we'll miss you!
Cheerio Lloyd. Sad to see you go!

I echo your sentiment. Love him or loathe him (I'm firmly in the love him camp!) nobody can deny the thrilling entertainment he has provided over the years and some truely momentous goals including the right footer that took us to the premier league and the goal that knocked out fulham from this season alone! He also scored against the current premier league winners Man city and champions of Europe Real Madrid and how many championship players can say that?
I'll miss you greatly Lloyd and enjoyed singing your name as loud as I could, at times much to the frustration of some fans around me!
Was also great to see him buckle down and try to work his way back into the team in the Sven era when others just wanted to leave - a true professional and I for one wish him the very best.

Love Lloyd and sad to see him go but understand both his and the club's decision.
I wish him all the best and hope he has a successful time at Watford.

Gutted he's gone - OK I respect his decision as he needs longer term security and money in the bank, but he would have unlocked defences in the prem - Shame we couldn't find a compromise. Watford have bagged a gem

Sad to see him go but I can understand why the club would not offer more than a 1 year contract and presumably Lloyd wanted more security being in the run down years of his career. Perhaps he also may have thought he would not be playing much so wanted to go somewhere to play a bigger role?
Anyway, thanks for the memories, sometimes irritating, sometimes enthralling and for undeniably playing a big part in last year's promotion.
