Romero is about to go on international duty…If Romero or VDV gets injured who is replacing them? That’s a real worry.
I think that is the happiest I have been with a squad for years.Assuming Lloris is gone we are now kosher with a squad of 24 + 4 U 21s.

We've got no 1, 2, 3 or 6 currently.I hope they re-organise the squad numbers and have more in the 1-11 range. I don't know why it bugs me have number 33 or whatever, but it does.
I’d wear 0 if they let meWe've got no 1, 2, 3 or 6 currently.
I think a number of our guys have a preference for their unorthodox numbers. Vicario, Bentancur, Porro, Romero
I'd be a guy that wears a weird number just to stand out. Not enough 90's in the PL, you see that elsewhere.
00 if the let me.I’d wear 0 if they let me
00 if the let me.
Do you know what they call 69 in Paris?69 if they let me.
Used to play rugby and came up against a few sides that used roman numerals (interesting for the ref)I’d wear 0 if they let me

Was just gonna say the exact same thing...We've got no 1, 2, 3 or 6 currently.

Excellent recycling of an excellent point, good sir!Someone made a good point about Lloris, he's in the final years of his career and he has a family who are settled in London, why would he uproot them all just to sit on a bench somewhere. Nobody's going to be happy in that situation, I'd say they're having a serious discussion about him retiring.
I'm going balls out for an alternative suggestion...Someone made a good point about Lloris, he's in the final years of his career and he has a family who are settled in London, why would he uproot them all just to sit on a bench somewhere.

Going purely on last season Forster is ahead of lloris and there is nothing to suggest lloris will recapture past levelsI'm going balls out for an alternative suggestion...
Imagine he'd played at ANOTHER club all this time, and now, for his one final year in football, WE signed him as experienced back up to Vicario.... :hugoshock:
We've done it before with experienced 'keepers as back up... albeit with mixed results...
But at the time, the likes of Brad Freidel, Joe Hart, and Fraser Forster seemed like a good idea at the time... so why not utilise Lloris for the exact same role??
I reckon Lloris is STILL a better option than Forster, despite his recent dip in form...
but if he's happy to be the experienced 2nd choice keeper, and maybe help the younger lads in training, then why the hell not keep him...?
He's already HERE FFS!
Brad Friedel was our no.1 when we signed him. We signed Lloris the season after. IIRC, we played Friedel until he set a consecutive appearance record then dropped himI'm going balls out for an alternative suggestion...

No, but Royal could.Could PEH play RCB if needed?
Could have stolen it and not let on I suppose...Excellent recycling of an excellent point, good sir!
Next year....We've got no 1, 2, 3 or 6 currently.
