Mirko & Vidal will be our top scorers again. Giovinco will probably be close behind with many non-decisive goals.
Thats a tough one between Mirko and Gio, Gio did quite well last year and is learning the ropes here, so chances are that he may become a bit more efficient in the second part of the season.

After 260 pages about this guy I'm starting to think he's little bit overrated. When you really think of it, there's a good chance he could flop here.

1. He will be coming from his worst season in last 5 years. This season he scored only 1 goal in La liga, while in previous 4 seasons he scored: 2008/09 - 14 goals, 2009/10 -14 goals, 2010/11 - 18 goals, 2011/12 - 17 goals.
2. Our wingbacks don't tend to cross a lot, hell, most of them are terrible at it. This could hurt Llorente's chances of becoming an important player for us, he scores a lot with his head.
3. He will be facing great competition in Gio, Mirko and posibly some other top forward we sign in the summer. If Llorente hits the bench early in the next season, he may lose his confidence completely, because it would be a second bench-warming season for him.
4. He is Spanish and these guys rearly do well in Serie A.

We are getting him for free, but I still hope we wont give him a hefty contract. It could hurt us financially in a long run (Iaquinta's contract comes in mind).

Conte: "I'm delighted he is considering Juventus because it shows we can attract big name players again. But I would be surprised to see him in Turin in January."
