Spanish Pazzini!?

Apples and Oranges. Llorente is built like a tank, holds up the ball very well, is a titan in the air and leads the line with aplomb. Not to mention he probably has an additional 7 inches of manhood over that bag of shite pazzo.
Quite atypical spanish player in that he is built in the mold of the "classic English" no. 9. He does'nt really stand out in the Spanish nt, as a player of his style does'nt really fit into their pretentious tikitaka shite that is very much in vogue nowadays.
Would be a good buy if he is indeed on the last year of his deal, and can be bought on the cheap. Ive seen a quite a few Athletic games, and Llorente has always been solid. This guy is a penalty box battering ram. Outmuscles defenders with ease, wins everything in the air, decent shot and surprisingly good touch and dribbling. On the flipside, Llorente's pace is wanting, but thats not surprising considering his size and build. That does'nt lend itself to lighting counters, but thats not our game anyway. He does'nt drop deep or track back to help the defense either. So-so movement compared to elite strikers like a Higuain (who just ghosts into scoring positions/ plays off the last defenders shoulders expertly). In short, Llorente would be a very good addition to the squad, especially with all the possesion we have. Certainly an upgrade over Matri and Quag.
