  • Tottenham Looking for Goalkeeprs – Julio Cesar? Hugo Lloris?

    Trying to keep Luka Modric isn’t all the Tottenham are doing this summer. Chasing goalkeepers, feeling that reliable yet not too extraordinary Brad Friedel, already 41, is also part of the off-season. Hugo Lloris seems unreachable and too expensive, but Julio Cesar isn’t.

    Again with Barcelona, again another Arsenal player.
