Youth system in action right there.
Though you got me looking at that ‘99 league cup winning team.
Come a long way from a midfield of
Allan Nielsen, steffen freund, Anderton and ginola. Proper 442 under George Graham.Also made me look at Lloris wiki page and we got him from Lyon when he was 26, had been their first choice keeper for 4 years, and he cost us 11m with 5m of add-ons.
For comparison 24 year old kepa cost Chelsea 71m.
Frightens me to think what we’d have to pay to get a keeper of equivalent quality if Lloris left..
Great result tonight. Under the cosh all of the first half. Still don’t know how we got Lloris for £11m, he’s a great keeper. Kept us afloat and harry stole a goal to take the wind out of Dortmund’s sails.
Sissoko was immense, as was super jan and the rest of the defense. Sanchez shrugged off a shaky start to look pretty untroubled after our goal.
Really glad we’ve got another champions league match this season. Hopefully in the new stadium.
