Hmm, he's offcourse much better then any forward we got in therms of finishing, and much better then pazzini aswel.


perhaps not as shiny as jovetic, perhaps not the potential van persie has

dont know how he compares to dzeko



one side, i head plenty of good things about him, beeing clinical, destined to be banging goals in a team providing clear chances

on the other hand, spain considered playing with a sixt midfielder better then putting him on the field, even putting horribly out of form torrez ahead, cause "in terms of talent he is to lightweight"


I think he could do well here, and prove doubters wrong. much like gomez did at bayern

    I am not one who has faith in transfer rumours but I think this deal is more realistic than any other deal, the Pazzini move being the most realistic when it comes to forwards. But once Curva starts talking about it, I lose all interest, so far it has been Mark and Mark has by far the best transfer news.
    Much appreciated. :hi:

    He said we've made an official offer to Atletico :p
    after OTM reported it. :touched:

    Be more active on Twitter, Mark. :p
    I should be paid though. :p

    I'm not doing a good job on twitter cause sometimes I post some news here and sometimes over there. I'm just lazy. Also when I see news elsewhere I don't want to post the same news again.

    Here's a Basque dude who watches Bilbao games week in week out describing Llorente from another forum.One Fantastic poster he is.(He's a Milan Fan as well btw)

    20 Million is a god damn steal for Fernando. By the looks of the comments here no one has really seen him play at all considering I see the same old stereotypes on him being a "target man" or a tall and big #9.

    Llorente is quintessentially a false 9 to almost a #10 for the Basque National Selekzioa and Athletic as this has been further amplified since the inclusion of Bielsa. He doesn't just roam in the box, his effective link-up play when dropping deeper and razor sharp passing was vital to Athletic's past results as especially last year. There is literally nothing I don't see him weak at unless he is overplayed (mistake of Bielsa) which was the case near the end of the season. Thankfully Juve don't play the brutal game that Bielsa plays.

    2 footed, one of the best in the world at heading, can take on 3 defenders at once, dribbling with guile and direction and of course his absolute trademark clutch ability in big games or dire situations.

    I really hope he stays but Juve having him would be a fantastic signing.
