Top professional for 11 years for us
One of the best keepers we've had in our history

Maaaaate!
On the plus side, with our injury curse this season, HAD he stayed, I imagine Kane's glass ankles would've shattered several times already under Ange's system...
Either that, or we'd already have had the league sewn up by now!!!
nothing in-between!!
I mean it with all love and respect! It reminds me of Wembley.
Hmmmmm....
Just wanted to say thanks for the memories, Hugo. There was one point early on in his time with us that he was arguably the only “world class’ player on our books. He could have gone elsewhere for trophies but chose to stay. You’ll always be a legend in my eyes, mon capitane. Good luck in MLS.
It's currently MLS off-season. I'm sure he went on vacation with there being no rush to join up for training.
Incredible for us, the loyalty he showed to stay here when he was genuinely world class shows what a good bloke he is
Which him well in everything he does
Think he'd be a good pundit in the future

There's the summer transfer budget decimated
Big clap for Levy for paying a loyal club legend the 'majority' of what he was actually entitled to for his fucking contract.
If Levy had paid the full amount and held him to the terms of the contract then the chances are that the LA opportunity may well have passed.
By agreeing a move to LAFC before the end of his fixed length term , he didn’t fulfill his contract and wasn’t entitled to the full amount.
They negotiated an early release which sounds as if it treated Lloris generously. Everyone’s happy with the outcome.
Edited to add: Hugo was excellent for us and loyal but not a legend.
Sounds as if they treated him like anyone else they wanted out the door with time left on their contract.
You think any agent is letting their client leave without getting the majority of what they're entitled to?
I’m just pointing out simple contract law.
Lloris could have stayed at which point he would have been entitled to the full amount. I daresay that he would have had to pass up his current opportunity. Both sides did financially what was best for them. We call that a win-win in my industry.
he wouldn't be entitled to the remainder of his contract if he left 6 months early bellend.
Oh dear.
We didn't have to let him go early, it was entirely our prerogative to keep him at the club and make him see out his contract, the point is that we let him go when he found a club and paid him off so he could move on a free.
