Hugo Lloris

[Crockett]

probably a decent enough bloke but good riddance. fucking awful keeper, so overrated even when at his best. always had an absolute stinker in him and his sheer incompetence with actually playing the ball with his feet has rendered him absolutely useless in todays game.

looking forward to having a new number 1 for next year. that and a new backline, things will look soooo much better.

You're all heart.

 

[FightingIllini]

I don't believe the injury thing for a second. He seemed fine going off... rumours of dressing room bust-up and then a muscle injury that lasts over a month?

Nah.

I find this convincing, but then as a fellow 36 year old, the idea of doing his hammy on a benign-seeming goal kick also seems deeply plausible.

He’s washed up now, but he was a good keeper in his prime. Of course we persisted with him for 2-3 years too many, per usual.

100%. He was a great player for years, the odd bollock dropped was offset by the incredible, instinctive saves. Kicking was always bad, last three years it’s been laughable. See ya

 

[Gobbygonk]

He always had a bad game against Woolwich...

 

[Doom Funk]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is starting the first game of next season

Last couple of years lost the capability to catch……..bit shit if your a goalie

Too much alcohol...

Times are saying he’s been offered a lucrative contract in Saudi. Could be a good out for him.

You spelt us wrong.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Also says he has other offers too so I wonder if he’ll go. Wouldn’t surprise me though if Levy tries to get his final year out of him. But the time is right for him to have a change of scene.

Too much disrespect on this guy's name, there's a whole load of recency bias as far as I'm concerned, for the vastly most part he was a top keeper and a model pro, should be respected.

 

[nicoclaesen]

I agree. He’s been very good for us but has been on the slide for a while now and his past got him more years than he should’ve out of us.

I don’t think anyone’s disagreeing with him being excellent for the bulk of his tenure at the club, and in due time he’ll get the recognition he deserves, but you can’t blame people for the recency bias.
He’s been absolute dog shit this year. The top 10 GK fumbles of 2023 in the league are probably covered by him and DDG. It’s a team sport, but on a few occasions he’s been well and truly the sole reason for costing us points.

More of a personal bug bear of mine but the drink driving incident really irked me.

He's been poor for a couple of years. Hopefully the middle eastern move becomes a reality.

 

[AudereEstFacere]

I noticed that this had started creeping into his game a few years ago and for some reason slipped under the radar of most on here. It has definitely got worse and he now stands rooted to the spot quite often. It is genuinely quite rare for other goalkeepers to idly stand by and watch the ball into the net. At least dive and give yourself a chance of saving it ffs

It’s weird because he’s still decent at reflex shot stopping but with experience, you’d expect judgement of where a shot ends up to improve with experience.

It’s like he’s become the opposite with the years.

Reflexes should slow, not judgment.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

So assuming that Newcastle ends up as Hugo's last game for us. That means that he will bow out with 447 games played for us in all competitions. Putting him at 8th on the all time appearance list. And as the foreign player with the most appearances for Spurs.

 

[Airfixx]

So are we to assume that Hugo gets a testimonial or is that a thing of the past?

I know the players are more commonly minted now, but can't they be done for charity instead......?

We could get Jan, Dembele, Toby, Toby, Lamela and others from that era in for a kick about..... Never really got to say goodbye to them properly either..... Ditto Michael M'fuckin Dawson!
