...and Baldini?Great news.....should encourage others to follow suit....well done Poch and Levy
Hopefully Courtois will be sold though.Top Keeper ! Lloris , De Gea , Courtois battle of the keepers will be quite exciting next year
Oh easilyHow can you fall out with people about it?
Unsurprisingly I disagree, I think AVB got it all wrong, and it was symptomatic of the way he was ultimately to fail at Spurs. I'm sure Levy was furious at AVB's handling of the situation, especially as I suspect Hugo was more 'his signing' rather than AVB's.I agree.
AVB was villified at Chelsea for attempting a radical overhaul, and therefore figured he would graduate Lloris into the team whilst not making a cunt of Friedel...It was a little frustrating but the motive behind it was sound, and the matches we lost weren't Friedel's fault.
Also, it was two years ago.
You talk an incredible amount of guff.Oh easily
Positions were drawn up, people claimed I was talking nonsense when it was them who were. Lloris' ability and attitude were doubted, a lot of people didn't like that I supported the 'French position' on the situation, etc, etc.
we shouldnt forget that friedel had played about a billion consecutive games too. It would have been insulting to him to bring lloris straight into the team instead of letting him get a feel for the game in this country from the sidelinesYou talk an incredible amount of guff.
Every person on this board knew exactly what was going on with Lloris. Ferguson did the same with De Gea, but because he's a dinosaur like you, you don't bat an eyelid.
Get over it. You didn't ''win''. No-one ever suggested Hugo wasn't better than Friedel. No-one ever suggested that Hugo wasn't our number one when he eventually started league games. It was unanimous that we had captured one the World's best goalkeepers.

AVB overcompensated from his mistakes at Chelsea by making a 'reverse mistake' at Spurs.
It may have been two years ago, but we had a great chance to get CL that season, we failed and the consequences live with us, including AVB's dismissal and the divisive Sherwood appointment.

and yet you can't see why other players are played ahead of Dawson?This was a point often made at the time, and fair enough, but I disagree unsurprisingly.
If we bought Messi, we'd carry on playing Kane/Soldado while Lionel adapted to England?
I know that's an extreme example, but surely when you bring in a world class player you play him. It would have been tough on Brad, but that's football surely?

Not sure that I see it.Over Lloris? Yes. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Eriksen. He's my favorite player on the team at the moment. However, with a lesser keeper we could have easily finished in the bottom half of the league.
