Do you think that he should go straight into the team for Sunday?

I do. We aren't talking about a 19 year old kid here. We are talking about the international captain and first choice goalkeeper of France. He is 25 years old. He's played GHod knows how many games in the Champions League. Why are we waiting to put him in the team?
As good a chap as Brad is, and as solid as he has been for us, he just isn't Hugo Lloris. We don't actually owe Brad anything. We will pay him his wage and he will be a professional. And I don't think we will need more than the 3 days of training for the coaching staff to realise what a player they have in Lloris. They will know exactly how good he is. The players will see it in training. He is better than Brad. He should play.
No (against Lazio - yes) - but as I've already explained in my previous 2-3 posts - he will be established as no.1 within weeks irrespective of Friedel's form

How many times do you think he has had a chance to train with us since he signed?
Communication between defence (particularly central defence) and a goalkeeper is really important, I would prefer for us to give him a couple of weeks to settle in and get used to his team mates before giving him a start and even then, I would prefer it to be in a cup game.

He will get 3 before Reading won't he?
He can speak English, he's experienced, maybe the players need to know when he tends to come for the ball rather than stay, but it can't take that long to figure out. The guy is good. There's a reason he's got to where he is.
I can see him maybe not starting against Reading, but from Lazio onwards I would expect him to be playing as our first choice number 1.

I think that starting him this weekend would put unnecessary pressure on him and the team. Far better to give him time to work with the coaches and his team mates, settle in and then let him have his debut in a game that he has had a chance to properly prepare for.
I think that you underestimate the amount of preparation that is done for a game if you think that three days training from a standing start is enough.

Two fantastic saves tonight and he saved a penalty.

He's been playing for France, he isn't a 19 year old kid, he's not De Gea, and I really don't think he would need too much time to adapt. He's an experienced professional with many international caps and Champions League games behind him, and he would be able to play at Reading. I can see why he wouldn't start that, but if he didn't take the no.1 spot from him by Lazio I'd be stunned.
Believe me I don't underestimate how much prep is needed for games, but I think people are seriously under-estimating Lloris. They don't realise what we have. And on pressure, it goes either way to be honest. If we don't start Lloris and lose, question marks will be on AVB and the team as to why we weren't starting our top class keeper we've just spent 12 million on.

I agree.
Goalkeeper is a completely different position to any other on the pitch. Throwing Lloris in under prepared risks not only putting more pressure on him but also his team mates and the manager.
If ever a game called for keeping it simple and playing to your strengths, it is this one.

'GARETH BALE STORMS OUT OF SPURS TRAINING GROUND AFTER MASSIVE BUST UP WITH VILLAS-BOAS'
Under-fire Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas was involved in a sensational fight with Welsh winger Gareth Bale which saw the not so special Portuguese coach kick the player out of training and send him home. He then let slip that he was dropping Tottenham's star player from Saturday's game as punishment. Bale has been a revelation since Harry Redknapp nurtured his raw talents and reinvented him as a left-sided midfielder but it appears there's no room for him in the new regime.
Struggling Villas-Boas unleashed hell when the two clashed in the training ground car park, punches were thrown, and Bale looked to leave under a stormy cloud, speaking to his agent on his mobile, possibly to arrange emergency talks with chairman Daniel Levy about a quick exit. Real Madrid are rumoured to be looking at him with a possible move pencilled in for next summer but the January transfer window might allow for an earlier escape.
It then went from bad to worse for Villas-Boas who failed to turn up on time for a press interview and was abrupt and rude, storming out in a fit of petulant rage still fuming from the fight.
New signing Hugo Lloris was unavailable for comment but Didier Deschamps said, "Boas is a monster and although I have no evidence, I think he gave birth to Godzilla and we all know the damage that's caused down the years"
2:34pm Finished work. Down the pub. Hoping to score a gram or two.

I suppose the troubles AVB had at Chelsea were an invention of the press too
To be fair, for outfield players YES. But goalkeepers train separately most of he time anyway. They have a job which is to deal with what is thrown at them. Maybe a little work needed on distribution style etc.
A large part of it was the making of the players. Luckily we don't have so many kn0bs in our team.....
What does this comment have to do with the topic of discussion?
