Didn't know he was into that kind of thing....kinky bastard.Don’t get me wrong. Fist choice he would not be.
Gazzaniga isn’t the answer IMO. He is better with the ball at his feet though. Hugo gets through his fair share of passes though but I think he’s a tad ponderous, doesn’t move it fast enough which means defender receives ball under more pressure.Lloris is still a sublime shot stopper and his distribution is underrated, compared to some of the shit you see from most PL keepers he is miles ahead when it comes to passing the ball.
We all know he is prone to errors but he has always been like that, it’s nothing new. To buy a proven keeper who is better than him would cost £70m, we are not going to spend that on a keeper. We need to keep lookout for a young talent who can come in as his future replacement, I’m not convinced Gazzaniga is good enough.
...and that he gets beaten at his near post too often.
A load of bollcks.

Statistically, he's a better 'keeper today than the one that played sweeper 'keeper!!! I can't find it now but read an article a few months ago that was going on about the location of 'keepers, and within the piece they spoke about Lloris, the player that sweeped up behind his high-line defence. They now showed that his average position had changed dramatically, as he's moved further back. This came in line with an increased number of save percentage!Most interesting about that is the amount of shots he's faced.
But then, that is what makes the GK position difficult to quantify. I've been MotM after conceding 4 goals, which only makes sense when you know I made 20+ saves and the scoreline could have been horrific!
The thing with Lloris is that he no longer an exceptional keeper, or at least not as unique as he once was when he played on the edge of his area and our defense were pressing on the halfway line. Hugo plays in his box now and is as fallible as any other keeper out there. Sure, his shot stopping is still excellent, distribution from hands is great, his distribution for feet not so great, and as someone finally said, gets beat at his near post too often!!
With that said, I don't think he's easy to upgrade, there's no-one in the Prem I'd particularly prefer. I don't know much about foreign leagues and a YT vid of some saves isn't going to convince me of anyone, especially considering the debate is in regards to Lloris' decision making, distribution etc. I could put together a video of equal or better saves that Lloris has made in the last 12 months yet we're still all talking about moving him on.
Personally, I feel the best time to make a decision on Lloris is when we know what he's like once he's physically recovered. An injury like that on a keeper could really affect him psychologically and I don't know how Hugo will deal with it. Hopefully by the end of the season we'll know whether both he and Gazzaniga are capable of playing at the level we need.

Doesn't show all the figures.Well not really, unless you think Lloris's numbers are at the bottom of this lot!
But if it did he would still be right at the top, or are you saying this absolutely isn't the case?Doesn't show all the figures.
Read what I said and stop looking for a cunt off. You're out of your league sweetcheeks.But if it did he would still be right at the top, or are you saying this absolutely isn't the case?
