Fernando Llorente - ST - Athletic Bilbao (74 Viewers)

[Xperd]

I was under the assumption that Ibra would just come through and $#@! a league with "lesser defenders"


And how many points do they have?

Since when is one person's perfomance a reflection of the entire team ?

Ligue 1 do have some good young defensive prospects you know..

Sadly some here in their deluded minds believe that Serie A teams' defensive organization is absolutely "impeccable"..

Apart from Juve,most teams have mediocre to rubbish defenders..

Thats what I'm trying argue

Either way we won't know how Llorente will do till he plays in Serie A

 

[Xperd]

Serie A as a 'defensive league' is a myth in my opinion,its too overstated and it isnt the case nowadays.Sadly some here have a mental block into thinking so.

Also i did not comment on how Llorente is going to fare here..I was just baffled at the kind of arguments given as to why people think a Liga striker wont exactly do well here.

Didn't Serie A have the most opening day goals out of all the other leagues last season?

Actually i think Serie A defenders are shittier than Liga defenders..In La Liga its often the case of mentality you know more so than 'tactics or defensive organization' as people like to point out.Most Liga teams lack personality in comparison to the BIG 2.

Come on, he's a good player and all but it would take him time to settle in to a new league with tighter marking. He would grab his goals and be important. I'm sure of it that he's a good player, just dont think he'll be world class. We're talking about a player who has achieved very little outside of the EL and domestic league.

The thing is we can't get Llorente for a reasonable price and we can't go further with Giostinko and Matri either.

Llorente, the Athletic chairman is adamant: "Away with only 36 million"

Time to move on to something else. I think that even W would agree with me when I say that Llorente is not worth that much.

or 0.

 

[baggio]

I don't think so. If he's still there on the weekend, he'll be there till the end of his career. Don't see him leave after Friday.

Fuck him.

Yeah, because all this treatment he got from his president and fans he should sign another deal.

 

[Nzoric]

Fuck him.

Yup, fuck him long, hard and good. And his shitty club.

 

[Gian]

North Korea >> Basque Country.

 

[Xperd]

Yeah lets generalize Basque country because of one shitty president's actions

If we really have €30M to spend on a striker, it'd be smarter to spend them on this guy than Jovetic.

And no, I don't think Llorente is valued at €30M.

 

[Dostoevsky]

If we really have €30M to spend on a striker, it'd be smarter to spend them on this guy than Jovetic.

If Jovetic is available for 30 and Llorente for 36mln, there's no way Marotta would opt for Llorente
