Lloris

Morning all,

was just wondering what you think will happen with Lloris this season?. We've all read about what the french national coach has said about AVB's comments.

Do we put him in the team against Reading?

Do we play him in the cups, slowly adapt him into the English game?

My fifa12 head tells me to throw him in the team and see how he gets on, but after Friedels performance on saturday its very hard to dis-place him?

I suppose the only posistive is that most of our defenders speak french so that may help with communication..

Thoughts?

No 8.
Completely agree. Start him off from the get go. If Friedel starts and has a shocker then everyone will say thats because he's been unsettled by the new guy coming in. If Lloris isn't started then the TalkSport contingent will be spouting their usual crap re £12 mil on the bench etc etc.

===================

We should never bow to Talksport / media peer pressure though.

friedel to start v reading.

lloris to play v carlisle and lazio. if he plays well he will keep his place for the prem.

==========================================
I'm with DC on this, should keep them both happy

It will be impossible to keep them both happy.
Brad knows how things work and it would better not to have a sulky Frenchman on the bench. ( no racial slur intended )

Chicken I actually like Friedal, I think he's a good keeper, but that part of his game is not good and against a team like Reading we need someone with a good command of the box.

To be honest though whoever starts between Friedal and Lloris, I won't be too fussed as they are both top keepers, il be more interested in our starting formation

I have been a big fan of Friedal and still am BUT even i could see he let in quiet a few goals to the back end of the season when he wouldn't of done a few years ago. He is now 41 years of age and yes he had a great game v Norwich, but i just can't rely on a 41 year old in goal if we want to go places. We have to start Lloris in my opinion. What is the point of spending 12million a world class goal keeper and not starting him.

Lloris will get his chance at the expense of friedel in the same way chronic described. As for the others....

Gomes is injured but will hopefully be sold January. Don't expect to see him with a spurs shirt again.

Carlo was close to signing with Watford but his contract expires end of the season anyway.

Big brad will retire at the season...you can see his reactions sadly declining already despite his man of the match award.

Next season will be...

1. Lloris
2.archer
3. Miles

Very high hopes for the two youngsters.

We need to stick lloris in asap to get him used to epl, last thing we need is him being brought in for a "big game" and him doing badly because that "big team" are on top form scoring lots of goals. That will only knock his confidence and give people the opportunity to say "told you so"

agree on the two young keepers, particularly archer.

although if lloris gets injured they are too inexperienced to be first choice, thus i would keep around either cuds or friedel for next season as well.

plus friedel will be a great role model for them on how to stay at the top for years

they are both promising, however with Lloris in the way, and young, its hard to see when they will get their chance.
