Tony Cascarino believes the fact that Hugo Lloris has not travelled with the Tottenham squad for pre-season could be evidence that something big happened behind the scenes during the half-time interval of Spurs’ 5-1 drubbing at St James’ Park back in April.
Spurs confirmed last week that Lloris had not travelled with the rest of the squad to Australia, with the goalkeeper staying back in London to explore ‘transfer opportunities’.

Tottenham have signed Guglielmo Vicario to take over the number one shirt from the Frenchman and Postecoglou admitted during his press conference on Monday that the club captain had made it clear to him that he wants to leave (Football.London).
The Spurs head coach also revealed that it was the 36-year-old himself who made the decision not to travel with the squad on the pre-season tour.
According to reports over recent days, Lloris is now studying the various offers he has on the table from Saudi Arabia and from across Europe (90 min).
Cascarino suspects Lloris fallout behind the scenes
The last time the goalkeeper featured for Spurs was during the loss to Newcastle, with the former Lyon man coming off at half-time with an injury.
However, Cascarino believes that something went on in the dressing room at half-time during the clash against the Magpies, which is why the Tottenham captain has not played for the club since.
The pundit told talkSPORT (16 July, 07:00 am onwards): “One transfer that has been rumoured, and I find it extraordinary, and I spoke about this at the end of the season when Spurs went to Newcastle and lost 5-1.
“Hugo Lloris didn’t appear for the second half of the game and I said ‘look, something has gone on in that dressing room’. I can’t prove it.
“But from what’s happened from that moment on, he hasn’t played. He is the captain of the football club. Rumoured that his time at Spurs is literally done. He hasn’t travelled with Spurs on pre-season. It feels like this is a really bad ending for Hugo Lloris at Spurs.”

This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory as what Hugo said at half-time against Newcastle, would certainly not affect Postecoglou’s choices, with the new Spurs boss being clear about wanting to offer everyone a clean slate.
The Australian himself has clarified that Lloris wants a new challenge, which is he did not want to travel to Australia.
I suspect the Frenchman made the decision simply because he does not want to serve as an understudy, given that he only has a couple of years left in his career.
