Ex-Spurs Player Hugo Lloris

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Some French Football magazine reporting that Lloris has a "secret" release clause set at €20M which is triggered if we don't get top 4...can't really see Levy agreeing to that being put into any contract.

Posted this in the transfer thread, maybe more appropriate here..

He must be as confused as most people as to what we were up to in the second half of the season, and as you say we are drifting further away.

All this at a time the PL's top teams are at their weakest in a long time.

Chelsea, Utd, arse, City and Pool were all there to be challenged this year but yet again we have failed to capitalise points against the lower teams, taken a couple spankings off our rivals and only turned up for a couple of the big derby's.

If he behaves in the right manner about his move, and is honest, he gets my full blessing.

Im not one to put Spurs down, but he is genuinely wasted here...we have not tried to build a defence around Hugos strengths, merely left him at the back in the shadows pulling off world class saves while we juggle around our average defenders and try to bottle neck them into a system that they cant play.

Hope we learn from this with Vorm, and coach our CBs to work around what the keeper needs from them, and their abilities not just what the manager wants them to do,regardless of whether they can actually do it.
 
Hugo will be sold this summer. Deep down I think we all knew this when Vorm was signed. And for those that still weren't convinced, the final confirmation came when the club announced Hugo had signed a new 5 year deal
 
I don't think Chelsea were there for the taking, sammyspurs sammyspurs , but agree with the rest of your statement.

It'll be a sad day when Lloris goes, but one that deep down most of us expect to happen sooner than later.
 
Lloris won't leave this summer. Quote it, copy and paste into a word pad and by all means tag me if it happens, but he won't.
 
I really hope he'll stay but it wouldn't surprise me if his sale is used to balance the books on the massive hit we're likely to take on the likes of Soldado, Paulinho, Capoue, Chriches etc this summer.
 
I suppose with a 5 year deal the min we will be looking for is 25-30 million, Vorm ain't a bad keeper so we are lucky that while obviously it's a downgrade it's not some huge step down for us. WIth all the sales the summer 8-10 who knows we hopefully we invest more wisely than recent seasons and not have to rely so much on World class keeping to keep us in games.
