Which is absolutely bizarre. Spurs need a first team GK to take Lloris' place not a fella for the bench. Whats wrong with Gazziniga? Unless he wants out ofcourse.Joe harts joining spurs

Assume Hart will be 3rd choice. Pretty much all the higher clubs have a joke of a 3rd keeper.
I’m not so sure he’s on anything like he was in his City days. If he is third choice, and I doubt he had loads of offers he may ‘only’ be on £30-50k a week, perhaps even less as a third choice goalie. For us, a fortune. For a Premier League player at what should be a top six club, a relatively average wage.

Hart might actually have a chance of a game if Lloris is at the club.
Don
Lloris is a good keeper. People don’t understand the territory that comes with teams playing high lines and sweeper keepers. They are generally going to make mistakes, it’s the way they are asked to play, not their choice id assume.
You have keepers like Oblak, de Gea of old etc who have played traditionally, shot stopping, no need to run out, no need to worry about distribution etc. It makes them look great.
Neuer was the first high profile GK of his kind for that style of play, many a time he was made to look an idiot because of his positioning but the benefits usually outweigh the mistakes.

Can't say I recall him making too many mistakes because a team is playing a high line, he makes mistakes because he's not very good. That being said he's made plenty so no doubt some will be down to the way the team plays, in which case he shouldn't be playing if he's incapable. That of course is partially on the manager, but it's still mostly his fault if he comes rushing out recklessly all the time. He doesn't learn.
The odd wonder save here and there don't erase some of the worst mistakes I can remember in recent times, trying to take players on whilst on his own goal line and the likes. He's not even top 10 in the league imo.

Put the likes of Pope, Henderson etc in a top 6 team and watch the mistakes happen. It’s completely different when a team play a pressing, high line game which the majority of the top teams do.
Caporegime
Would we though? Who is to say those keepers can't play that style? Stick Lloris in Sheff Uniteds team and id assume he would make the same sort of monumental brain meltdown mistakes as he does at Tottenham, because that's exactly the sort of keeper he is.
We will find out soon enough as Pope may well go to Chelsea and Henderson is destined for Man United's first team providing he has another solid season.
Don
Lloris wouldn’t as all he would have to worry about is shot stopping and hoofing it. No coming out of his area etc. That would be his orders.
Soldato
I don't think he's saying they can't play that style, just that its far easier to make mistakes playing a sweeper keeper, there's far more decision making going on than just sitting in your 6 yard area and saving shots, collecting crosses and closing down 1 on 1's
Caporegime
Those orders aren't going to stop him making handling gaffs, or as I alluded to above trying to take players on. His head goes, that's his problem.
As I said we will very likely soon see.
Soldato
indeed

I'd love to see Pope get that sort of step up, come on Chelsea make it happen. Half the cost of Kepa it's a no brainer.

I think the above counts for a lot of opinions on here of late. Person watches a game and sees an error “he’s ****”, another person remembers this and jumps on the bandwagon.
This place used to be a lot more balanced for opinions, I guess this what happens when 95% of the place supports Man U, Liverpool or Arsenal. No one here to defend the other team’s players.

And he also makes more mistakes leading to goals than anyone else.

Your rant then borders on the ridiculous, considering I don't support any of those teams.
Don
Hardly a rant, call it on observation. I know you support Blackburn.
