Tottenham looking to sign Meslier to replace Hugo Lloris

[mawspurs]

Tottenham looking to sign Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier as a replacement for the ageing Hugo Lloris. Lloris is out of contract in the summer of 2024, and at the age of 35, Tottenham will need to find a long-term replacement for their club captain.

Tottenham’s current backup goalkeeper is Fraser Forster, but the former Southampton man is in his mid-thirties himself, so isn’t a long-term solution.

Good young keeper one for the future.

Shoulda been in for Nick Pope instead!

Shoulda been in for Nick Pope instead!

Personally I think this guy has a higher ceiling

Him, Bazunu or Sanchez

Him, Bazunu or Sanchez

If we were looking at Spanish goalkeepers at non-elite sides I'd rather David Raya at Brentford than Sanchez.

But in any case we definitely need a succession plan and looking at Meslier who has played so much so young is a no-brainer.

He’s awful. No thanks.

Agreed. His distribution is wonderful. Just like Hugo's.

Meslier is an inch or so taller than Pope, so it makes sense he'd have higher ceilings.

Him, Bazunu or Sanchez

Sanchez is better at RCB

 

[Blake Griffin]

i think he's good at some of the more modern, trendier sides of the game but i'm not totally convinced that he's actually a particularly great goalkeeper. still very young though.

 

[DiamondLites]

Sanchez is better at RCB

Debatable

 

[TheChosenOne]

Someone let me know when this thread gets back on track because at the moment I can’t stop laughing

 

[GetKaned]

Didnt we have plethora of keepers at our academy like 2-3 years ago ? Funny how none of them could make the cut

 

[max cady]

Oblak or Henderson for me

 

[Dannyspur]

Debatable

Thank you. I was hoping someone would post the stinger!

 

[Locotoro]

If we're going for a goalkeeper with Premier league experience i would go for Jose Sa at Wolves - he ranks very highly in the stats and also passes the eye test with flying colours

Painted or stucco?
