you guys keep crying for a wc striker and with the media jumping on the bandwagon the whole world seems convinced we are in need of a striker
but is that really the case? I know we have had games where we missed a lot of chances but I believe our biggest strenght is the fact we are unpredictable
the danger comes from everywhere
our midfielders score like crazy
besides Buffon everyone has scored
my fear is that with Llorente a lot of that will go down the drain
long ball to Llorente who holds the ball and pass or shoot
I do believe he is a good striker but I don't know if he will actually make us better
just a thought

Matri is back, what do we need Llorente for?

Think he's more technical than Luca Toni. Lets play his song!

Only thing is though that Llorente can only make us better, we've had to deal with the inconsistency of quagliarella, matri, vucinic, gio so it's not as if our team is 100% just yet. Afterall when you compare our team to Barca, Madrid, Bayern where is the only place we lack? The Striker position.

Exactly my point couple of posts back about the unpredictability of Juventus right now... If Llorente comes for free in the summer - alright. But I don't see the point of him arriving now when the team is in top notch form and is scoring like crazy from everywhere to everyone.

Any chance of him pulling off a 'Martinez' and sneaking over to Turin this month?
If he was smart enough, he could get Fiorentina to pay for his plane tickets.

Its not just a world class goalscorer we lack, its a top level goalscorer who can score goals consistently...Inzaghi...Trez...Di Natale...Klose...Milito..Hernandez. The only player we have near to any of them, in terms of natural goalscoring ability is Matri, and his form, for quite a while now, has been horrid.

Its naive to believe that our style of play will change for the worse, if we replace one of our starting two strikers with a player more consistenly capable of putting the ball in the net. Conte isn't dumb, and neither are his coaches. Not much needs changing. we already have a very strong team. Our starting Xi lacks only a top drawer goalscorer. Its been this way since Trez left...Other than that, we have zero back-up at LB/LWB...actually yes we do, Peluso has just arrived. Which leaves the front line as our weakest area by a country mile.
