It's been a difficult season, but I feel like we should acknowledge the fact that we have the best goalkeeper in the league, a man in my opinion bettered only by Thibaut Courtois in world football.

Thank you Hugo.

He's awesome and the only thing he lacks is the physical presence of someone like Neur or Cech but he makes up for that in other areas. I hope the ITK is true and he sticks around for a while longer, he's a smart guy and hopefully he knows he still has plenty of time left in his career to win things. He can win something with us if we get our signings right this summer and god knows why but I have a good feeling that we'll lift a cup next year.

Hugo could leave the club when he is 31/32 and still win loads of things afterwards...

Yes exactly but it doesn't mean he'll want to wait so we still need to get our act together and improve the rest of the squad.

Neuer and Buffon are still the best goalkeepers for me. Hugo wouldn't be far behind them. Ter Stegen and Courtois are the best young goalkeepers.

Not sure about best keeper in the world, but he is definitely up there. Any realistic replacement for him would be a drop in quality.

What that video didn't really show was the several million times that his rushing out and beating the striker to the ball saved near certain goals.

Cant believe he didn't get Player of the year, was far and away our top performer.

Top keeper. If he improved his kicking he could be number 1 in the world.

would have conceded far less with a motivated Jan and anyone but Daws/Rose infront of him.

Just imagine having a fully fit King and Kaboul in front of him. Would be hard to get past that! It is essential we keep Lloris more than anyone IMO.

He's the best for me because he's not only top class in his saves and commanding the box, but his sweeping up and one on one ability is second to none. That's the advantage he has over Neuer and Courtois. His kicking isn't great but I don't think that's a particularly important thing to look for in a keeper.

Lloris is a world class goalkeeper and we are lucky to have that, he certainly deserves a better defensive quartet infront of him this season!
