He would be a risk at this point, as it could take him a few months to regain his form, whereas Llorente is coming off a monster season and would cost less.

Rusty? Disinterested, and maybe its a ploy to bring down his price?

JoJo is better, no doubt abiut it, I'd rather have JoJo on the team than Llorente.

If he were disinterested and it were a ploy to bring down his price, that would make me less interested in acquiring him.
Taht doesn't just go for Dzeko, but that goes for any player, if that were his intentions.
what makes you sure he is coming? they said the same about aguero, rvp, jojo and others... and yet who came was borriello
- Beppe said we're interested
- Agent said we want him and Bilbao wants to sell
- Him having problems with Bielsa
- We have failed to sign all other targets so far and we need a new striker
- He's only making 1.9M pounds per year now, we can afford his wage demands probably.
- It's a 15-20M deal, Beppe can close such deals. It's affordable and the risk are relatively small compared to RVP.
Llorente > Dzeko > Matri >> Quag.
It's unbelievable how some people aren't able to distinguish the quality of a player after having the advantage of so much exposure to football through media channels, compared to 5-10 years ago. He may not be skillful like Ibra, Benz or even Torres but he's a big, strong, powerful center forward with good skills for his size and good work ethic. A player like Llorente should be judged by the impact he makes to the team too. He'll make the players around him contribute that much more because of what he does. Players like Jojo (if Juve gets him and plays him as the #10), Asamoah, Vidal and Marchisio will surely put up good numbers for goals/assists thanks to Llorente.
Subs: Vucinic, Gio, De Ceglie, Asamoah, Pogba, Marrone, Lichsteiner, Bonucci, Caceres, Storari.
Matri, Quag, Pepe, Giacch, Padoin, etc can all be sold or loaned. If Jovetic isn't bought, Matri should be kept as Llorente's backup and Vucinic/Gio playing behind the center forward.
