Looks like we might get a fee for Lloris after all according to this.

L’Inter Milan accélère dans le dossier Hugo Lloris

À la recherche d’un gardien de but pour la saison prochaine, l’Inter Milan a intensifié ses discussions avec Hugo Lloris qui veut quitter Tottenh (...) - Footmercato

Inter have accelerated in recent hours

According to our information, the 36-year-old goalkeeper is on the shelves of Inter Milan and discussions have accelerated in recent hours. The Nerazzurri now know that Onana is going to join Manchester United and they must therefore get a new goalkeeper. The contractual situation of Lloris, who has been leaving for several weeks (his contract ends in June 2024), makes the deal very interesting for the Italian club, which will not pay a large sum to bring him in.
At the beginning of June, Hugo Lloris had also publicly expressed his desires elsewhere in the columns of Nice-Matin. "It's the end of an era. I have desires for other things, I will ask myself quietly to study what will be possible, ”he explained. A club like Inter Milan could allow him to live a last challenge at the high level and prove that he still has the level of the big European teams. While he announced his international retirement after the 2022 World Cup, Hugo Lloris could therefore have one last challenge in his rich career.

Does anyone care about a fee really? Just let him go, we paid 13m, we've had our money's worth and then some.

I just don’t know what to think of him as he’s never had a chance. Big step up from Championship level last season and obviously never done enough in training. Even if Conte didn’t fancy him,if he was that good in training he’d have been given the chance.
His spell at Rennes was underwhelming and if he is to go on loan again he needs to much better to get anywhere near our team.

We can. He had his Spurs career destroyed before he even turned up for his first training session. He's almost having to start from scratch.

How was it destroyed? If he had impressed in training he would have got games. Then the board decided to get Porro not something they would have done if they had faith in Spence.

Correct. No manager will not give play a player that is flying in training a chance because they know that it will make his team better. I really liked what i saw Spence the season before last but he’s obviously not been at the level needed to get in the team.
For as much as Conte was stubborn he wasn’t stupid. You can’t blame Conte for Spence not playing. You blame Spence. If he’s getting loaned out again then Ange obviously sees the same as what Conte did.

What do you reckon? If we can get some money out of them and they are willing to pay a fee then we aren’t going to give him away for free. Fans want us to just pay the money when buying a player and now want to give them away. It’s the same with some of the valuations of our players.

Yes you bloody can we HAVE invested heavily in Porro the player HE wanted. We have to loan out or Spence. None of the RWB with the exception of Royal work in the now peffered system. Its a complete Conte Paratici cluster.

But in January it was pretty clear to almost everyone that Conte had no long term future at the club. He didn't want to sign a new contract, he was still living in a hotel, his family was still in Italy, already there were issues between him and the club, his whole demeanor was weird. The club should have said just make do with what you have and we will look at the RB situation in the summer or at least have negotiated a deal with Sporting without an obligation to buy.

Conte made it clear he didn't want Spence, but the club bought him anyway. Iirc Levy had some kind of connection with Spence's agent and it seemed he was on a mission to get the deal done no matter what Conte wanted.

How can a club invest so heavily in players when it employs managers who play such different systems, there is no continuity in thinking and planning. Yes buy wing backs if you know you will always hire managers who believe in playing 3 at the back and use wing backs. If you are not committed to that style as a club, you are just asking for trouble.

Since 2019 the club has been a disaster, wrong managerial appointments, huge amounts of money wasted on the wrong players, no plan, let's hope that with Ange we have the right guy and he is backed by the club and the fans with trust and patience.
