Fernando Llorente - ST - Athletic Bilbao (26 Viewers)

I really don't think we would've won the CL with Zlatan. Just call it a hunch

As for impact, he has matured and developed most certainly

Did Athletico start negotiating with Juventus at all? Otherwise we would have to buy him out by paying the price set in the clause.

We so need this guy.

Wait, wait.. wrong thread.

 

[radekas]

Meh, just a random talking. But we surely could use him right now.

Is there anyone with a properly informed opinion of Llorente? I've barely seen him play to be honest. I really wish we pushed hard for Dzeko when City weren't wanting him.

Llorente's at a pretty similar overall level to Dzeko.

Dzeko is more of a goalscorer, though, and Llorente is more of a target man who will contribute to general play.

Because I don't think he has the striker's ability to make up for it. "Peak Toni" (love that name, Suns) was simply a far better striker, and could live with not being pacy. And as JCK correctly pointed out, he always had very fast reactions.

I don't really see the comparison to Toni.

Llorente's power and technique allow him to be effective despite his lack of pace.

And while I wouldn't say Llorente is a natural goalscorer or has great instincts, but he knows how to position himself in the box to be a threat.

Many thanks. Easily the most informed member on here football-wise.

@Mer de Noms

One of Dzeko or Llorene, plz.

Preferably Dzkeo.

But, I will be happy with Llorente too.

Knowing football isn't about choosing a side its about understanding the intricacies of the game itself.

Shhh.

Don't let on that I only appear knowledgeable by sitting on the fence so that it's really hard for me to be wrong.
