No need to be questionable about it Hust. It's for sure gonna be Llorente/Morate in that position upfront. Don't buy lies and media BS if we're getting linked with Benzema and others.

I'm still curious if we're gonna bring Zaza back, but I really doubt that.
I know, I just didn't want to write Llorente's name because I don't want him to be our starter next year. :p

With Tevez supporting Morata and Berardi's sublime passing, we sure could use Morata's pace with that setup.

Why?

Last year he was sharing 2nd place as our most effective player. Sure, this season he had a drop in form but he still managed to score 5 goals. He didn't play as much as last year too, as he has like 600 minutes less than Buffon (with the most minutes). Llorente is a useful player and imo not somebody to be worried about. What I'm worried about is if he's the one to play good in a formation such as 4-3-2-1. I still believe we'd pull the best from him with wingers. Although, even with 2 players behind him he'd provide qualities upfront as a target man, I'm pretty sure he'd make job a lot easier for Tevez and/or Berardi if it comes to it.

Perhaps a new setup would make him get his past performances back. His confidence is shot and it shows. True, he needs crossing as part of his service for him to be more effective but even the few crosses he does get he still misfires. OR some time on the bench will get him sorted. Either way, we could use a much more effective striker and I'm willing to give Morata some consistent playing time for that. Let's see what he can do with more faith is show in him.

I don't know what it is about Juventus and giving poor performing strikers such continuity.

I think we're fine with Tevez, Llorente, Berardi, Morata for the next season tbh. I'd rather focus on improving our defense in the summer.

Agreed. Maybe Zaza?
Zaza to improve our defense? :D

I don't think we'll bring Zaza back, at least not this year. I think we'll keep him loaned and see how he develops. If he keeps doing well I think we'll bring him back to replace Tevez in 1 and a half year.

Now now, I can already see 'LOL like he can replace Carlios' :p but I think we're planning something along those lines.

I'd wait with Zaza. We can still activate his clause the summer after the next one as well iirc, and right now he doesn't strike me as quite ready to make the step up to Juve. He also hardly has any place in the team with both Llorente and Morata being here.
