Lloyd Owusu

Sure this is on here somewhere but cant find it so:

Cann anyone tell me what the situation is with Lloyd Owusu? When is he expected to play again?
 

Lloyd Owusu

unless Owusu proves his fitness and will take a HUGE pay cut..............say £500 a week with £1 a goal bonus..........................then i would've thought that he'll be off to pastures new.....................
 

Lloyd Owusu

If he left... Southend wanted him when we got him so he could go there... MK dons maybe?? I think he's not going to play for Brentford again... :(
 

Lloyd Owusu

Shiperley and owusu take on league two:)

Probably not though!

We would walk it if that were the case, Lloydie is far too good for League 2, but having said that I still dont think we will go down
 

Lloyd Owusu

Lloydy is well past it, true dat.
 

Lloyd Owusu

Too good for league 2, you're having a laugh surely?

Lloyd's agent is rumoured to be confident of getting him a contract with a Championship club for next season once he proves his fitness!
So that will rule out us, Southend and MK Dons!

rofl lol rofl lol rofl

lloyd's agent can be as confident as he likes, but if we see :owusu: playing in the championship next season i'll eat my (leather)hat!

He did well for us last year, always guarantees goals. It is the injuries that blight him.
When he rejoined us it was on the back of 2-3 years of constant injuries, it took months for him to get match fit but just when he had started to score regularly he got injured again. If he proves his fitness he will find a club no probs, but the injuries is the problem. We have paid him a fortune for a year for not playing and we are not the first..not his fault as he wants to play but it is the risk you take with him.

If only the club would look around to see if some deals could be done on Temporary Disablement Cover specifically for the higher earners. Skullasson, Owusu, Rhodes & even Nelson now have cost the club a fortune in recent times and certainly a great deal more than any premium would have cost.

I think we'll rule ourselves out of this one. Good luck to him and it was obvious when he joined that he expected to piss all over League One last year and get himself a move up the divisions again.
 

Lloyd Owusu

I very much doubt it. It is far cheaper for clubs to gamble on their high earners not getting injured. We've just been extremely unlucky this season.

As he is unlikely to play again this season, how does his agent expect him to prove his fitness so he can sign for a Championship club next season?

The only thing I'd have confidence in, is an agent's overconfidence.

Lloyd is well past his best before date. Whilst he may just hack it in Div 1 or Div 2, IMO he has neither the legs, stamina, or pace to hack it above that level now. Plus, he's a bit more injury prone than he used to be.

Lloyd is still a top man though and his contribution during the promotion season will always be appreciated by me. But that was a long time ago now and we're all getting older. However, if the price is right (i.e a realistic wage demand) I'd gamble on Lloyd for another season or two with the Bees.

Do you know what the quote was then for the full squad?
I also dont think its just this season, Skullasson was last season, Rhodes the season before and Owusu end of last season. We have also had a few others out longer than 3 months over the last few years.
Hargraves said that it worked out cheaper not to have the cover and I used to agree. However I'm not so sure now. Ok you might have few years claim free. But if 4 come at once and you have a small squad and have to get players at cost in on loan you end up paying more than the premium would have cost you. Yes you still have to get players in on loan, but an Insurance company is paying for at least part of the wages on the injured parties.
Also do not see any harm in seeing if their are better deals on offer than the one I know the club uses to get quotes on. The premium may be too expensive, however have they looked at partial covers?
 

Lloyd Owusu

he has a rolling three month injury, with a view to a permanent injury. :sorted:
 

Lloyd Owusu

rofl :sorted:

Oi St. Aines :nono:

And finally, nice one lloyd's agent for the best gag of all! :hat:
 

Lloyd Owusu

If he plays next season it would have to be on a "pay as you play" basis.
 

Lloyd Owusu

definately not having a laugh, Lloydie IS too good for League 2 er he earns 2 grand a week.................I rest my case

:eek: What an argument!! You should be a lawyer :rolleyes:

By that reasoning he will be no better than a park player when his contact ends.
 

Lloyd Owusu

I dont think so, and im not on about in a Brentford shirt.

Im sure Fitz said he was going to give us and update of how it went with the Doctor and Lloyd last Wed ?

I am sure all football players all have adequate insurance cover.

Owusu said saturday at half time that he was hopeful to be fit for the end of feb/ early march. He probly wont be match fit until about april which leaves him 7 games to keep us up.

Seen as we are now three games (9 points) from safety at the moment. If he returns with seven games (21 points a drift) to go it will be for a relegation party.:wave:
 

Lloyd Owusu

I was at the training ground last week and sounded like he will be back in March
 

Lloyd Owusu

said on sky sports news he is back soon, any more info on this?
 

Lloyd Owusu

We will not see him in a Bees shirt again..
 

Lloyd Owusu

Didn't he get injured playing for his country???

If so, if Prem clubs can get compo for players getting injured on national duty, why can't we?
 

Lloyd Owusu

At the end of the season brooker, skulason, willock, roades, pinault, one of the keepers proberbly and griffiths will leave. This would surely leave some money that could be well used to keep owusu if u say hed have take a 50% wage cut then give him 50% of skulasons. We espcialy need him if shipps goes at the end of the season or we'd have to start searchin for that big man again.
