We also bought Ardiles and Villa after they won the World Cup 1978 with Argentina. But they were not in the Argentina team which won the 1986 WC. The problem is the players or their national teams always become shyte once they sign for us. Remember Lamela lost the Copa America final with Argentina. And we also dont buy enough top quality players from Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain or France to be among the trophy winners.

Actually I disagree, he has had more than a decent tournament he has been the best keeper in this tournament and unlike Neuer has not made a mistake that has led to a goal. Now I am not saying he is a better keeper just that he has been better this tournament

Ron Henry
fair enough
I think the mistake against France was more than offset by his performance against Italy
irrelevant goal ultimately but the first Hugo conceded to Iceland was very sloppy

Was unlucky with the conceded goal vs. Portugal. Defence messed up and blocked his view as well.

Best keeper in Europe and probably the world? No way. At least 4 or 5 better than him. De Gea, Neur, Courtois, Oblak are superior overall.

I'll take the 6th best keeper in the world any day.

France’s Hugo Lloris: Euro 2016 was strange from beginning to end
Lloris was asked whether he found it odd that a team which had finished in third place at the group stage could reach the final. “This tournament was strange from the beginning until the end,” replied the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper. “The one thing we can say about Portugal is that it’s about their mental strength and their spirit. When you see them winning three games after extra time, it means that there is something strong and special inside the team.
“It’s difficult to find the words [to explain the defeat]. It’s true that we are all very disappointed. We tried our best and we missed, maybe, a bit of luck – the luck of the champion. We played all the games to win this game. It was a bit different for Portugal. They were more waiting for a mistake, waiting for a counterattack or set-pieces. But they played in this way all the competition and, at the end, they won. It’s football.” ....
Lloris lamented the lack of a clinical edge up front while he also felt the extra day of preparation that Portugal had enjoyed had helped them in extra time. “We maybe had a lack of freshness,” the 29-year-old said. “When you are a player at this stage of the competition, one day is very important and can make, maybe, the difference. Maybe it made the difference. But this is football. We have no excuses.
“We did our best and the most important thing is what we have created during the competition – between us, inside the team and the emotions that we’ve shared with all of the fans. This is one of the good memories and I think we can build up something strong for the next few years. We have a young generation and I think the future has to be bright.”

Hahaha .. all opinions I guess, but for me
- you mean Courtois who got beaten from more than half field by Charlie Adams?
- Neur has been shakey recently
- and DeGea makes more mistakes in my opinion than Hugo
- Haven't seen enough of Oblak to comment ...
Whatever your view, easily a quality keeper who bailed us and France out at critical moments ...

Maybe some of those mentioned ARE that bit superior between the sticks but I'll cheerfully trade the odd extra clanger for the exceptional qualities of leadership that Hugo brings to the table.

I think Lloris had an excellent Euro, without any mistakes of note. No one can blame him for Portugal's goal which was well-hit and perfectly-placed beyond Lloris. Frankly, Koscleny and Sagna was directly at fault for the Portugal's goal. Sagna stupidly gave the ball direct to Portugal from the throw-in. Portugal started their attack from that and Koscleny should have stopped Eder from shooting at goal. Giroud was France's main weakness as their only striker.
