I personally think Llorente is a smokescreen for Cavani or Dzeko. I know a lot of peeps think we got no chance on Cavani, but I feel like something is happening with him. And maybe, just maybe for a transfer like that the club meeds to wait till the nth hour, so that the selling club's fans have little time to react given the relationship of the club. Its either him as a best case scenario (obviously

) or Dzeko, who we will wait for till deadline day to get on 'our terms' or as close to that as possible.
You make some interesting points about Llorente's weaknesses. I don't think any of us had considered those here given our knowledge or lack thereof, of the player's history and present. Facing competition from other players, building up form and being temperamental are important things to factor in,
espesh when switching leagues and moving to a club where the pressure will perhaps be greater and the objectives, higher. With due respect to Bilbao.
