Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

[Stamford]

I will be on my own but I still feel he has a part to play here

Watch the home north london derby again

Lloris better go to Saudi - thats where he will start given his drop off + get the similar salary

 

[Albertbarich]

How does it get to the stage where they negotiate a fee, agree a fee and then he says no . Surely they sounded him out beforehand and gave him the description?!

Very odd and more to this whole situation than we know I think

 

[McFlash]

IIRC Jenas found out he was surplus to requirements when his key card to enter the training facilities was denied and Ledley was sent out to tell him.

Really? I don't remember hearing that nugget but that's not to say it didn't happen.
Also, that would surely be a managers decision, rather than the club? Who was the manager then? Jol?

Seems a strange way for a club to behave though, if true.

Wouldve been Redknapp. I wasn’t a fan of Jenas as a player but he was at the club for what, 7 years by that point? If true(heavily questionable) would be a terrible way to treat a player. Redknapp took Jenas to QPR with him so i doubt there was any issue between manager and player

I vaguely remember Jenas mentioning it during a TV interview. It wouldn’t be surprising as AVB was a bit odd. He banned the players from using the gym (aka the very expensive gym at our very expensive training ground) and whenever a player was using it he would send in one of his coaches in to stare at the player.

I think it was AVB.

Ah yeah, AVB was a little...odd.

hugo must realise after his distater last season no top club will guarantee him a game

Lloris is deluded, just take the retirement plan offered by Lazio and have a good time in Italy.

Why? Nobody said he should be starting. A world cup winning captain could easily be of value to the squad of young players we are assembling. Maybe he could do his coaching badges whilst here, we have to pay him anyway so we may as well squeeze whatever we can put of him.

Edit: I just recalled that I think he has a first choice clause in his Spurs contract. It may not be possible to keep a fit Lloris as number 2 without issues

He's been number 1 all his life and wants to keep on playing. Fair play to him, that's his choice to make

He wants to be a no 1 that's why he won't go to lazily and hasn't left yet. We're also under a new leadership and it's better for him to go and create space for new players to emerge so I don't buy the argument others can learn from him. Nothing against him btw he's the best keeper I have seen at this club.

Lloris turns down Lazio after being spurned by Sarri.

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has rejected the chance to join Lazio this summer, according to Sky Italy.

Spurs were willing to let the Frenchman leave on a free transfer, with the goalkeeper’s time at the club now coming to an end.

However, Lloris wanted to have a meeting with Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri before joining the club - but that never came, which has made the 'keeper feel unwanted.

 

[Gpnash84]

The athletic were covering this on the pod. Transfer was seemingly driven by the chairman or DOF when the manager preferred the current goalkeeper. Not surprised it collapsed in the end

He didn't play Hugo when he first arrived, kept Brad as number 1 for whatever reason, just seemed a bit pig headed on AVB's part.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

His stock must be at a all time low, when there appears to be little interest with taking him on a free..

To be fair, players doing their own S&C work outside of the programmes the club have given them isn’t the best idea. Makes it impossible for the sports scientists to gauge their recovery times etc and so risks injury.

Just sit on the bench, guide Vicario and collect a medal when we win the league

He also alienated VDV when he first arrived. At least he didn't block the signing of Lloris though (he might even have pushed for it).
