Fernando Llorente - ST - Athletic Bilbao (6 Viewers)

[GordoDeCentral]

X, why do you think that Llorente would flop at Juve?

And please, don't use the "He's Spanish" reason.

he's spanish well that and compounding the fact hes played his whole career in a mediocre club(that i hate so maybe that has something to do with it). I just think this deal has too many question marks.

Exactly.

If people are going to try to discredit him and his abilities, at least do the math instead of automatically going on Wikipedia and just looking at the numbers in the upper right hand column

Something Else.

In the last 4 years.

64 goals in 141 matches in La Liga

He has scored 90 goals in his last four seasons at Bilbao. All competitions.

He scored 30 goals last season, all competitions.

That is very impressive.

Hey now. Stop getting in my way of defending this guy


W, I have a question for you. Seems as if he missed the entire month of December. Any idea what happened?

Injury.

EDIT: I didn't see Joe's post.

 

[KB824]

not trying to discredit him, it was just an honest question for those who followed him closely in the past years.

I've just watched a couple of games for him myself.

that's understandable, my man. You have to keep in mind that those numbers are skewed because he started featuring at a really young age at Bilbao

 

[Klovn]

he might, but thats moot since llorente is not in the same class as iniesta

Llorente is in top 8 over the best strikers in the world atm.

Yeah, but a lot of these guys play at mediocre clubs, though. In a way, I can't fault him for that, especially given Bilbao's policy on their young talents

And he didn't get the best service.

 

[blondu]

RvP scored more than 30.

ronaldo scored more in this season that persie in his whole life...what's your point? we can't get rvp

Why do you hate Athletic?

 

[KB824]

And he didn't get the best service.

You think so? I mean, aside from Muniain, who else was providing the service?


I have a serious man crush on Muniain, by the way. Absolutely love him.

my point is that he thought those numbers belonged to RvP

thats possible, since most teams dont play with a true 9 but if we are talking forwards, hes definitely a class below the best

Susaeta isn't really the best crosser. But 7 assists for last season is good enough

Muniain is awesome, i agree

Watch out for Ander Herrera too, the new pirlo. He got a great talent.

What are your thoughts on Iker?

Muniain doesn't provide much service. He gets the majority of crosses from Herrera, DeMarcos, and Suseata.

Dribble king. Fast, good movement, great shot.

I've edited my post.

But like Aaron says, Dribble king. Fast, good movement, not that great shot.(kinda like Lavezzi)

And a upcoming star.

Interesting. The matches that I had watched, Muniain was one of the main protagonists.

Oh well. I didn't watch a whole bunch of Bilbao games, maybe 6 or 7.

Its amazing how young that team is

[Cheesio]

Still have my doubts on this move, i rate Llorente highly and thinks he's a great stiker, my only concers if he'll fit in a juve style of play.

Muniain's main role is to move between midfield and the attack linking everything up. So he get's a lot of the ball. His role is probably the most important.
