George Lloyd

Lloyd would be a good signing for us, and he seems to have settled here immensely well, having been given a good run on the pitch, either straight on, or as the impact sub !!.

Town need to find a big mobile forward alongside him, hopefully to form the next McAtee / Taylor attack team.

We’ll do a swop for George, you can have any of our players except Harry, Max ,Orsi and Khan oh and Waterfall.

He’s a perfect fit for us. Love him.

Cheltenham fan here.....would you genuinely like to sign Lloyd?,he's been playing that well?.
I've seen on social media saying to signing him up but don't know whether it's urine taking or not.

I'd definitely take him if he were to become available.  Has an eye for goal and works his bottom off, but needs a striker to play off to get the best out of him.

The BBC’s goals and assist stats are quiet telling.

In just 16 appearances he’s our joint 4th top goalscorer and joint 2nd in terms of assists. He has the best minutes per goal ratio of anyone who has played a meaningful amount of time, too. 303 minutes per goal, not amazing, but pretty solid for a player who makes goals and does a lot generally at the top of the pitch.

He’s only 23 (24 come the start of next season) and so you’d imagine a good 4 or 5 years from his peak. Absolute no brainier we should sign him should it become a possibility; for me the bigger questions are:

a) Will Cheltenham want to let him go?
b) If so, how much for (and will we want to pay it)?
c) Will there be other clubs ahead of us in terms of transfer fee, wages and location?

I’d have him back in a heartbeat in the summer, but my worry is that we’ll fall down somewhere along the line in terms of the above. He’s a hard working young striker who scores and makes goals at this level - it’s almost certain we won’t be the only ones in for him.

Lloyd or someone similar then we need to sign 3 more forwards and none of these academy players from other clubs please .

Well keeping him would be a good sign of intent and probably the first opportunity for arr Paul to try and resist keeping 'us shape' with the transfer budget / wage structure .He obviously likes it here so give him 3 or 4 years , he's actually 6 months younger than Mcatee and played about 40 more league games (most at a higher level ) although different players a good permanent replacement for me .

Would agree, think if we really want a serious promotion push we may want a slightly more consistent striker but he would be an excellent player to have in the squad and nobody would be moaning if he was in the starting lineup alongside someone though not stuck all alone against two six foot six giants!!!
