Deserves a chance at a new career IMO

[Asaint4ever]

Good luck james

[Saint Garrett]

Agreed, good luck to the bloke !

[MarkSFC]

good luck to him...an average league one team for an average league one player...always looked like he was giving his best for Saints.

[Nexstar]

Good luck but i'm glad he's gone

[doughnutman]

Blimey! He made 85 appearances for us??? Really??

[70's Mike]

good luck to him,

[Andy_Porter]

Won me a nifty with his goal against Exeter.

 

For this I will love him forever.

 

Will ignore all the money I lost through betting on him

In all honesty I can't say I ever viewed Lloyd James as a particularly special young player but if memory serves his manager did consistently praise him as a rising star for much of last season . His fall from grace therefore has been rather spectacular and not a little mysterious I might add . Did AP just reevaluate or did something happen behind the scenes ? We may never know .

 

Good luck to the lad anyway - I never saw him give less than his best .

I think Pardew would have wanted him to stay but obviously couldn't guarentee first team football so Lloydy decided to leave.

 

Just a hunch mind, no idea if it's true.

[Saint Garrett]

Would have been ok cover at best, wasn't ever going to be a starter. He only has so many appearances for us because he came through when we had no money and unable to buy anyone !

Cold night at Crystal Palace in December '08, we lost 3-0 under the floodlights in the ill fated Dutch regime, and my Palace mate was in hysterics at how a great lumbering lummox of a player like Kuqi was making us look stupid. After the game, he told me the only positives in our team were our right back, Lloyd James, and Jack Cork.

 

He's a trier, but had our team not been so gash in the CCC, I don't think he would've had a look in.

 

Good luck to him, but we now have a better utility player in Butterfield.
