Bar BS3 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 This Saturday could conceivably be the last time we see Sir Louis wearing a City Shirt at Ashton Gate, unless he gets a contract extention at the end of the season. After over 600 games, many as club captian, some of us are marking the occassion with his recent trademark Handle bar Moustache, some actually growing them, others have got stick on ones. Perhaps he will get an extetion for another year and personally I think he is worthy of that after some great performances since Christmas - but either way, lets mark the occassion of a true club great and give him the bit of recognition that he has earned. Of course, there is still the small matter of avoiding relegation that must be first and foremost in our minds, but if we can secure that on the same day as marking Louis' remarkable career for Bristol City then so much the better! LOUIS, LOUIS, LOUIS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I hope he gets another year pay as you play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 don't want to be harsh but I hope he doesn't get one and we bring in Bikey as his replacement, Been a great servent granted but I fully expect him to be turning out for Exeter or Yeovil or even Plymouth next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 He will get a new one year deal. He's been reliable this year under Del and he will notice he has something still to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volta Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 People are forgetting that he had been average to poor for the majority of this season. He just doesn't have the pace anymore. A great servant, but time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only starteded 17 games this season so on that basis alone he shouldn't get a new deal we shouldn't be paying some one a wage just because the have played 600 games for the club City need to stop doing that and move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Pay as you play. No we should let him go, the clubs problem has been keeping hold of players longer then they should of we have to stop doing it we keep louis it could very well block Wilson's or Edwards progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Pay as you play. Would he accept that? He could defeinately get a years deal at Exeter, Plymouth or even Yeovil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey's been outstanding when he's played and I'd be dissapointed to see him leave. LOUIS, LOUIS, LOUIS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would, he knows he's not going to play week in week out but he loves this club and would want to be around it for aslong as he can. I think he'll go into coaching with the youth team or something aswell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I remember Louis saying he would retire if he couldn't get a contract at this level and that he didn't want to be the sort of player who goes to lower and lower leagues to get a contract. I expect him to get 1 more year here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Don't think he'll play anywhere else. I'd give him a 5 year contract personally. Louis has still got it. I hope Del gives him another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told he's already been offered a 1 year deal , on a very very low basic wage. It's pracitcally pay as you play. Not sure how true that is but have no reason to doubt the person who told me.

Admin phantom Posted April 19, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Would be a perfect player to have around the training ground. With his experience he would be invaluabel to those coming through the ranks. Give him another year, to be honest the past few weeks of the season he has played very well, looking at the whole squad there are only a handful of people who have performed well all season. Cant see him going anywhere else to end his career he clearly did not enjoy his previous short spell away at Coventry, so dont believe he needs the hassle of trying to settle in somewhere new just for his swansong season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only played 17 times this season thats not what I call regularly, infact I think the only reason he's played under Del is because of an injury crisis at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he should start every game but I do know the importance of experience, especially at centre back. Pay as you play would suit everyone I reckon, but we'll see what Del does. You can bet he won't be clouded by the fact Louis has been here so long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
