Wish him well. Was a great get and when he was good he was very very good. He's actually exactly the kind of transfer id like to add under Ange. Top player full international buying into Spurs as the place to be.
Poor last year but an incredible servant. He never asked to move and always believed in our project. In the conversation as our best keeper. Captain for almost a decade.
Enjoy LA

Fuck all that.... There's work to be done.
Unlike many who don't get to have a farewell (Dawson, Jan, Dembele); a final home fixture is the perfect opportunity to let him parade around the pitch at HT.
I'll never forget Lloris saving Aubameyang's penalty.
He's been a rock for our club. I don't care what anyone says, he'll always been a club legend in my eyes.
I hope this is the move he wanted. Au revoir, bon voyage et bon chance Hugo.
I wish Lloris well at LAFC and beyond but I really can't put him in the 'legend' or 'great' class. An excellent shot-stopper and indeed saved us many times but he didn't command his box often enough, was suspect for a near post shot, often ended up staring at free-kicks that sailed past him, and made me nervous when he tried to play out with his feet. The drink-driving incident should have resulted in him, at the very least, losing the captaincy of the club. The defence that I often hear is that 'he's a World Cup winner', but he was part of a great French team, and I would suggest that team would have won the WC with any half-decent keeper.
Whilst I appreciate I am of an older age than a lot on here, and by definition have therefore seen more keepers than those younger than me, Lloris wouldn't make it into the top three for keepers from Jennings onwards.
All said and done, good luck for the future but we already have a keeper who after half-a-season fills me with way more confidence than Lloris ever did.

And there are some that can’t see past their hate for Levy, even when their argument makes zero sense!
I’d go along with this.
He was a very good servant and I wish him all the best, but I too would be slow to label him a club legend.
One must not forget, he was captain for almost the entirety of one of the longest trophy drought’s in the history of the club.
He stayed with us for all that time because he was never good enough to join a team better than us. I constantly see comments like “he could have joined any team in the world but chose to stick with us.” That is really not true, he was never seriously linked with any of the really big boys.
I wish him all the best and hope he enjoys his retirement in LA, but I’m also very happy he’s no longer our goalkeeper and as you say, we now have a keeper who seems more reliable and solid that Lloris ever was…
Spurs legend. Has to be.
All the best Hugo. Great servant to the club and on his day was brilliant.
Sorry it ended like it did the last season but you will be fondly remembered.

I wish him all the best but he isn’t close to the best ‘keeper we’ve ever had.
He's been a good servant for us. His penalty saves against Aubameyang and Aguero in the first leg of the CL QF were crucial. We go 1-0 down there and we wouldn't have seen the CL final.
