Pool would have almost certainly got 1st though if they had Lloris between the sticks instead of Mingolet. Aside from the fact it gives our defenders more confidence to push up a bit and press (which is important) he also without a doubt wins us several points a season single handedly through his saves. For example against West Ham with his save on Downing and his save against Mertesackers header along with others against Woolwich. These saves are ones I doubt would be made by Mignolet and co, thus he has already potentially saved us 3 points already this season. That and some good derby points.

I'm not doubting his contribution, just saying he's easier to replace, or more accurately, he would be less missed than a Bale or a Modric. Having said that though, should we sell Lloris and fail to strenghten the team in other areas, we will certainly feel his absence.
People are saying that De Gea is better than Hugo after his good game against Everton. Hugo does that every week. Best keeper in the league in my opinion, though Courtois is close.
So many of his saves are top draw as well.
Nobody even close to our Hugo.
Hugo BOSSSS!
Judging by the picture Yorkshire posted after you, i would disagree. Say we replaced him with a keeper whose save % was 60% that means (in theory) we'd concede 25% more goals... and we aren't exactly free scoring at the minute.
i feel like some dickhead is going to try and be clever and say my maths is wrong so
75% is 15 more than 60% and 15% is one quarter of 60%. Ergo, 75% is a 25% increase on the original 60

Yeah. That's why I said we need to strengthen if we lose him. My point is that a world class GK is not a must to do well. As in, if we were a fantastic team going forward we could get away with just having a good or great goalie. Of course, if we remain average when it comes to scoring goals, then he will be sorely missed. But we reached the quarters of the CL with Gomes. Again, I'm not trying to belittle Lloris, just saying that a team with world class attacking players will achieve more than a team with Lloris in goal and average players in attack.
Guess it comes down to your opinion on keepers.
I used to be one so I'm biased but... i think its the most important position on the pitch

Apart from the other 10 I reckon you are right...
:bae:
So far ahead of the others. Totally irreplaceable in my view. As said, he actually results in extra points each season. Impossible to keep him unless we get CL qualification.
Rofl, what a difference the lack of a comma makes.
so how's this INTL break treating everyone

for some reason I think this one is going to be fucking flat out unsavory.Although it will give me a chance to bring glory to my FIFA Manager Career (yes, I know it's not FM, but I'll take it).
Decided to make my life as miserable as possible (I'm Spursy like dat) and have taken the reigns at Wycombe Wanderers.
Mid table at the half way mark!

Get used to a managers life of obscurity mid table!
It's the purple kit, I tell thee!
yeah yeah I get that... midterms going on here and no Spurs to help me wallow in my misery. At least we have the NFL here.
Hey, so any of you stumble into the NFL on Regent Street celebration skysports threw last weekend? I always see ads for it when I stream games, as whoever runs vipbox/wiziwig streams Skysport's broadcasts... the english analysts for american football are.. heh. It's an entertaining watch.
oh and, uh.. Huge is the fucking man. (staying on topic). Best keeper in the pl. Swear if we don't get champions league and lose him and verts i'll go fuckin crazy.
