Reading this about Lloris makes me a lot less worried...

French football expert Matt Spiro reports: "Fabien Barthez aside, French goalkeepers have rarely enjoyed success in England. But those who have watched Hugo Lloris consistently excelling for France and Lyon have no doubt he will be a big hit at Tottenham.

"A quiet character off the pitch, the former OGC Nice goalkeeper is unflappable and extremely assured on it. Lloris is brilliant on his line but also quick to advance for crosses and is not afraid to come out to play the 'sweeper' role - a quality Andre Villas Boas appreciates.

"The one question mark surrounds his size. Although tall at 6ft 2in, he has a slender build and some feel that might hinder him in the fast and physical Premier League. Chelsea's goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon expressed concerns last year, saying: 'The Premier League is different to the Champions League and other leagues. Lloris is too small for English football.'

"Lloris' talent is not in question, however, and like most people in France, I believe Spurs have just pulled off one of the coups of the summer."

Dempsey signing for Spurs...interesting. VDV had 13 goals last year, Dempsey had 23...

Have to hand it to Tottenham...I thought they would have fallen apart, but they've somehow strengthened.

I cant see us sign anyone now, but im sure we will splash out money in january which pisses me off because they will be panic buys.

After one bad performance, you are sure we will splash the money in January? Congrats.

Expecting a world class DM and ST in january. As always, they will be waaay overpriced.

Panic buys in January definitely. Cannot believe for the 3rd season running we have made STUPID MISTAKES once again in the market.
