Lawrence Vigouroux

Kid just signed a new two year deal. I haven't seen much of him, saw some highlights from a game the other day. Doesn't look like he'd be much of a dropoff from Brad Jones 

Danny ward ahead of him Id imagine, and Ive seen another lad play for the u-21s.

He's apparently saved a penalty for Swindon today, great confidence booster for the lad if it's true.

He was superb against us in preseason. Hope he can keep developing.

He's blown his loan deal at Swindon...

Liverpool goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux has Swindon loan spell cut short after paying £50 fine in pennies

Liverpool goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux has been sent back from a loan spell at Swindon Town after turning up late for training and then paying his £50 fine in pennies.

The 21-year-old signed for Liverpool from Tottenham last year and had been doing well for League One Swindon after being sent out by Brendan Rodgers to gain experience on a season’s loan.

However, after turning up late for training last week, Vigouroux was told he would be fined £150.

Senior players had the fine reduced to £50 in a bid to help the young Chilean, but Sportsmail understands he then turned up to pay with bank bags full of pennies.

Swindon manager Cooper is already working with a small squad and is keen to ensure that discipline is maintained. Manager Mark Cooper would only confirm: ‘It’s an internal disciplinary matter. It’s come from me and the rest of the players.’ Asked if it would cause further issues, he added: ‘It won’t, it’s been dealt with.’

Vigouroux eventually paid the original fine of £150 — this time in notes.

He was dropped to the bench for last Saturday’s 2-1 home loss to Colchester and replaced by Ty Belford who, as their only senior goalkeeper, is likely to start at Doncaster tonight.

Struggling Swindon have slipped to 17th and their striker Wes Thomas has been ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury.

What an idiot.

Daily fail at their best again!

what do you mean? He is Chilean.

I thought he was English? :O

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Vigouroux. Born in UK, mixed parents, guess he's Chilean, English and Jamaican, did not know this!

I had to check, actually thought he may have been French

Young Footballer In Doing Something Stupid Shocker.

*sigh*

I paid a one dollar parking ticket that way once.

I think it's kind of funny actually.

we don't half have some thick keepers at the club though do we.

Is it really such a bad thing? If he was being deliberately cuntish, then maybe aye, but he still turned up with the money, no matter what kind of coins he brought, it was still £50. Bank would have taken it no matter what form it was in.

Not really something to cancel a loan over. Unless his attitude has been poor anyway.

Something wrong with legal tender it seems. Give the cu*ts no more players.

I get that Vigouroux should have acted a bit more professionally, but that's hilarious.

I don't think it's anything to cancel a loan over but it would irritate me a little if a professional footballer came to me with a load of copper to pay a fine that the player could pay with spare notes in his wallet. With the way some clubs are these days it's best to act professional at all times and it seems he may have been a bit of a dick after being fined.

Um, wtf? lmao.

Ridiculous. All of it

Was interested to learn from the BBC website that paying in 1ps is only legal tender for amounts up to 20p!

So do I. Made me chuckle when I read about this.

I knew there was a limit but I didn't think it was that low.

Asked about the nature of the issue, Cooper confirmed: "It did happen and I thought it was brilliant banter, but in the context it was the wrong way to go about it.

I always love an Alan Partridge reference.

I heard this lad is going to hang up his boots and pursue his real dream of becoming a pop-rock icon.  Word on the street is that his band is going to be called "Lawrence and the Machine"

pennies from heaven, he will be quids in no doubt

Cheeky scamp.

Good bit of business from the Academy again.  Best of luck at Swindon Lawrence.

BBC Wiltshire also understands that Swindon have agreed a deal worth about £400,000 to sign Lawrence Vigouroux.

The Chilean goalkeeper made 36 appearances while on loan at Swindon from Liverpool in 2015-16.

Vigouroux, 22, was a regular in the Wiltshire club's starting side before suffering an injury in March.

As if we've ended up getting more for Vigoroux then we did for Teixeira . Good luck lad!

We have to get it from wherever we can mate 

Is the academy's job to turn a profit on selling kids on, or to produce an occasional first team player? Serious question.

It's just that I remember those heady days when we produced Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher and the like and wonder why it doesn't seem to happen any more.

It's both mate.

Let's face it not many make it to the level of the players you mentioned, so all good in making a profit on those we ship out.

I suppose Raheem has been the best we have nurtured recently and probably too soon to judge on Ibe, Brannagan and Ojo.

Agreed mate and I think the job of nurturing local talent, or any talent, has been made more difficult now there isn't "reserve" football but instead having just "youth" football.

It's difficult enough to get them through but when they have little or no experience of playing against other pro footballers, the difference and how much they have to adapt to it plus how little time they get to do so is huge.

Moved on a long time ago. Now with Leighton Orient

Just been signed by Burnley.
