Just look at his picture.

Internet hard men generally need to overcompensate.

Buffon
Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini
Lichtsteiner-Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio-De Ceglie
Llorente-Vučinić​

Storari, Cáceres, Lúcio, Masi, Isla, Peluso, Asamoah, Pogba, Marrone, Padoin, Giaccherini, Pepe, Giovinco, Quagliarella, Matri

So, how well do we think this team can perform in Serie A and the Champions League?
Amazing, it can rip both Serie A and CL. Look at that bench too, great.

I could see use Winning the Serie A again with that, as for the CL, Minimum: Round of 16/ Max: Semi finals.(If the draw favors us) or Quarter Finals.
i hope we will qualify from the groups...we can draw some big names and playing on 2 fronts 'till 2013 can be dangerous.

I'd still want us to sign a proper LWB tbh..Hopefully we sign Armero by the end of the window..
Depends on it. If we do sign Llorente, I would like De Ceglie to start because he's a great cosser. I think an aerial threat like Llorente would make a player like De Ceglie look better.

From what I've seen Armero isn't such a good crosser. But Armero would be a great addition, his directness in play would add variety to our play and De Ceglie is injury prone.

Athletic Bilbao boss Marcelo Bielsa has frozen out Juventus target Fernando Llorente after a protest from fans.

The striker and teammate Javi Martinez – who is on the verge of a move to Bayern Munich – stated this week they will not renew their contracts.

Fans hurled abuse at the two players during training yesterday and they have both been dropped for the opening Liga game against Betis.

“Nobody ever said that I’d leave if Llorente and Martinez went,” said Bielsa in a Press conference.

“I am satisfied with the team with or without Llorente. It is a difficult situation, because all the positions are understandable.

"Llorente is exercising his rights, while the club and the fans are understandable too, aside from the method of the protest which I do not share.”

.........

Seems like he's all but gone.

If its really happening, I wish we could just finalize the deal so that we can get him to train with the boys as soon as possible.

Llorente and Armero would make it a fantastic mercato but i dont think we'll sign the latter...Most likely Peluso on loan with option to buy.

hopefully he will arrive this week

On a side note, does anyone else see this as the future of transfer "style" with FFP supposedly coming into effect. Players will simply not sign new contracts and be sold in their last year?
