Hugo Lloris

[WHITE&BLUE]

I really hope the rumors arent true. But if they are...we best get over 30 for him.

I don't think Vorm is the type of quality we need, but he may have to do until summer.

£30-40m?
We can buy 3 more bang average midfielders then sell them on for a profit.

Okay, so now I realise that it's France v. Albania but...
I can't be the only one who read the hashtag as 'Fucking Run About a Bit', and thought the french national team were trolling us, can I?

I wouldn't be at all surprised is De Gea ends up at Madrid and Lloris at PSG

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris stars on the front cover of L’Equipe on Friday morning.

The Euro 2016 hosts face Albania in a friendly this evening and Lloris has given an in-depth interview to the French daily newspaper.

Lloris, besides talking about Les Bleus, also discussed Tottenham’s recent form, which has been pretty woeful, especially at home in the Premier League.

Spurs’ latest post-Europa League defeat came against Stoke last Sunday and besides Nacer Chadli, Lloris is pretty much the only player to come out the opening weeks of the season with any credit.

So, Lloris’ encouraging words for beleaguered Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino should cheer some despondent Spurs fans.

Lloris: “When it’s the third coach in a year & there are problems, the coach is not necessarily the problem. I trust this coach.”

The Spurs keeper continued: “We are working to find solutions. I went through similar periods at Lyon. I am comfortable in London.”

L’Equipe also asked Lloris if he regretted signing a new Spurs contract: “No, not at all, because I trust the technical staff and the coach.”

It would seem, like many Spurs fans, that Lloris accepts Tottenham’s poor form this season is firmly down to the players…

Not sure Hugo would want to go back to Ligue 1, part of the reason he left in the first place was because essentially he thought the league was shit.

 

[Totti]

Just give the guy the armband already.

 

[Juicy Sushi]

Starting to see a pattern here...

The Telegraph are seeing Lloris' statement as a dig at Levy, but I assumed it was the players...

 

[SantaHat]

Boy do I rate this lad.

 

[ArcspacE]

Help eliminate the rot, Hugo

This is the guy who should be our skipper! Do it Poch

Pretty sure Hugo has said in the past that he doesn't want to go back to Ligue 1. He's won everything he possibly could there with OL. I bed Madrid go after De Gea and hopefully we get to keep Hugo.

A proper (quiet) authority in a shower.

Captain of his own country in a position that frequently doesnt get given the armband.

Why he hasnt got it at Spurs is beyond me, it will hurt me when he goes more than anyone as he is proper class and a master of his position

 

[CJJ]

Isnt' he backup captain behind Kaboul anyway?

Get rid of Kaboul - there's no downsides to it!

Goalkeepers tend to be grossly undervalued, so it's unlikely we'd get 30m, though he's worth it to me

Wouldn't make him captain though - a long way from the action to appraise what's happening, alter positions and generally influence proceedings

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Lyon have a sell-on clause when we sell Lloris, so wouldn't be surprised if we don't do business just because of that.

Interesting article here on Hugo vs De Gea/Courtois - long may they champion De Gea & Courtois as the best 2, whilst Hugo can slip under the radar somewhat...
