Hugo Lloris

[Team Tanguy]

I was so excited when he first came, still so. I truly wonder why he stays sometimes when we are in a bad run, maybe he believes he can win something with us.

Picture this: If Kaboul/Adebayor leave, and we win a trophy, he'll lift it. :vert:

I think if we're ever in a position to win something neither of those two will start in the deciding game so Lloris will lift it regardless (and rightfully so).

That's what I am hoping as well, would love to see Lloris get even more credit because GKs never get enough praise.

9th best in the world apparently. :llorisserious:

 

[cretinousgoat]

Came up huge when he needed too. Had nothing to do all game until minute 80 and forward but still he did it. Best goalkeeper in a Spurs shirt I've seen, by a mile.

You mean...he's better than Ian Walker?!

But number 9, behind Cech?

If he played for a Barcelona/Real Madrid/FC Bayern....he'd be ranked higher I reckon.

Good - let's keep it that way so Madrid and Barcelona stay away

I've only been a fan for 13 years . As a Swede Tottenham isn't really the first team you hear of. Now you've made me feel proper plastic :walkercry:

It was a joke mate, trust me! :ade:

Haha, that's how I read it. Walker had better hair than Hugo for sure though

If Hugo Lloris told me to jump off a bridge, i wouldn't even take my phone out of my pocket before i jumped.

To be fair hed probably jump and catch you before you hit the deck anyway

Do you have in mind any bridge in particular?

Same site ranks us as 28th best club in the world

That ranking is hilarious. 5th best club in the world is Colombian?

There is a random assortment of complete minnows throughout that list, including an Ecuadorian club which is ranked just ahead of Spurs.

It's just a points tally of match results, not an objective and weighted analysis.

They also put Serie A ahead of the Prem.

Whilst it is likely that De Gea will be many people's choice for best keeper in the PL - this season at least - I think that is genuinely contestable between Lloris and the Spaniard. Both have accumulated points for their sides like no others have but I do think Lloris is the better at this moment in time. De Gea will be a great keeper for many, many years too.

Lloris is second best in the world only to Neur.

 

[ArcspacE]

only to Neur.

Is he better than Neuer?

I was thinking about this the other day. If you put neur behind fazio, naughton, chiriches or danny rose... would he look as good?

I think he would. He makes some absolutely ridiculous saves at times. I remember the Schalke Man U game a few years back where he single handedly kept his team in the game for about 60 or 70 minutes.
