I think this is definitely a case of Vorm being fully aware that he will be a cup keeper but will enjoy a very tasty wage boost. I don't buy into the Lloris leaving next summer thing but it is comforting knowing that we would have an excellent replacement on the books.What usually happens is goalkeeper 1 is solid then a team buys goalkeeper 2 who is even better which upsets goalkeeper 1, on this occasion Vorm is fully aware Lloris is the don so will expect not to start games, after a bad season he will probably look to rediscover his form playing our cup games and as already been said if he proves his worth he gets number 1 jersey when Lloris goes next summer so it's a nice trial bedding in period
I think it would be folly to rely on Friedel if Lloris gets injured. We'd look unprofessional at best.Very odd signing to be honest, he's a good 'keeper but I don't understand why we don't just have Lloris playing every game (come on, how tiring is it being a GK?). If he gets injured, Friedel is capable or utilise the emergency loan option.

I don't even consider him a player anymoreI think it would be folly to rely on Friedel if Lloris gets injured. We'd look unprofessional at best.
Yeah I do have fears that may happen. But if we have a good season, I think he might just stay a little while longer.Would love Hugo to stay but another year as good as last year and sadly he may be off, Levy has given him the. "Spurs/Madrid" contract just in case, 5 years, you play for us for one, then Madrid pays for four
Glad he is staying though this year
Add to that H-hhames tooI don't think I could live anymore if he went to Madrid. Modric, Bale then Lloris. 3 of my favourite players. I hate Madrid.

He was done 2 years ago at best
Madrid make me sick. They just throw money at whatever the flavour of the month is with no regard to their current squad. They don't need a winger - so they sign James. They don't need a midfielder - so they sign Kroos. It's a ridiculous, disgusting but enviable position to be in.Add to that H-hhames too
A purchase to ensure that we'll win all of the cup finals we get to, should they end up going to pens.

Turn it in mate. I know its hot out at the moment but theres no need to melt like that.Don't like this signing. Pretty much means Hugo could be leaving next summer.

Like where?Not melting down at all. I think he'll be a super backup. Don't have to worry about Friedel anymore. Just having a hard time grasping why Vorm wants to take a backup job. He could easily get a starting job at a good club.
Like where?
Now he gets to come and train with and play at one of the best teams in the country and in europe, and we now have perhaps the 3rd best keeper combination in the league, after liverpool and City. Its win win all round in my opinion.
