lloyd doyley ‏@LDX2012
You've Got Me 4 another Year I'm afraid, haha. Signed a 1year Contract that keeps me at Watford 4 another season, thankU 4 ur support :)
 
Comment from GFZ on Lloyd signing up for another year.

Zola said: “I am delighted that Lloyd will be with us again at Watford next season as he is an excellent professional and he always works very hard.

“He showed last season that he is a very important player for us and I believe he has a big part to play next season.”
 
Most excellent! Is that 16players????<whistle>

Seriously though, a pity he didn't get a longer deal, not that there is room for sentiment in football these days
 
For me personally, I would like to see him being offered a player/coach role. I think he has a lot he can pass on to our younger players.

I agree with that, but have to wonder just how many coaches we have and is there space to take on another one.
 
Not to be rude to Lloyd as he is a legend, but how good would he actually be as a coach? I think what he can teach about passion, loyalty etc would be priceless, but actual technical skill to pass on? I'm not so sure....

You can certainly see an improvement in his play this season, so maybe a season or two more with this training and he could step in to be a coach... but not totally sure he would be an improvement on what we have already

We do seem to have a fascination of giving ex-players coaching roles when nearing the end of their careers....

Think they were talking about Eustace Kev...
