For all the floundering and conspiracy theories that Villas-Boas wasn’t actually keen on his new Gallic stopper – following the carnage that was ‘Friedel-gate’ – you can’t really fault the club when it came to snapping up the Frenchman during the summer.
Widely regarded as one of Europe’s top goalkeepers, Spurs pulled off a real coup when they managed to snap Lloris up from Lyon during the summer.
Villas-Boas was certainly delicate when it came to dropping the evergreen and ever-popular Friedel, but when the France captain did eventually make the number one jersey his own, there’s been no looking back. No problems here, Daniel.
