Fernando Llorente - ST - Athletic Bilbao (15 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

His style is similar to that of Matri but he's obviously better. He would give us a reference point in attack. A presence in their box. As I've been saying, it's not a coincidence that we play better football when Matri is playing because of his movement off the ball and link up play with our midfielders. Llorente excels in that even more, which is why I believe Conte is really pushing for us to sign someone with those characteristics.

Precisely said.

Which is why it would be for our best interest if we were to keep Matri as a substitute off the bench.

On Llorente's contract details.

Juve have prepared a 4 year contract worth €4.5m per season + bonuses according to Tuttosport.

Corriere Dello Sport on the other hand say its again a 4 year contract but wages of €4m per season + bonuses.

[Klin]

Summer sinning mate.

Juventus breaking their usual wage cap there

Knew we had to for Llorente as Athletic offered him close to 5 million a season when trying to get him to renew.

Top earner is still Gigi with 4.5 , so the wage cap is intact.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving Llorente 4.5 / year, especially if he comes on a bosman. He is coolness and will tear shit up, can't wait to see a Miko - Llorente pairing up front.

Come to think of it, yes.

Perhaps Quags will be the odd one out.

 

[Nicholas]

I'd sell Quag after what he did in Milan.

Llorente is way better than Matri. I don't think Matri is gonna stay too, there's no way Conte rates him.

 

[Vlad]

So is there any chance to bring him this January? As the rule changed he would be a huge boost for CL challenge.

Nobody wants to buy Iaquinta right now.

 

[Nicholas]

No chance in January.

Their president said they won't sell and Bilbaos captain said he'll stay till the Summer but he's happy for Llorente that it came out about Juventus so it stops the rumours. Basically confirming he's joining us.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I can't believe how much money we gave for Iaquinta so far Even worse is that some people rated him very high.

I can't wait to see Llorente in black and white, he's gonna do great here! Llorente - Giovinco

Even this season Giovinco has 300 minutes more spent on the pitch compared to Mirko. So no, not really.

Pretty sure it's Llorente - Giovinco partnership next season with Mirko coming from the bench and being used as a rotation.

Vucinic has been struggling with fitness and injury problems. If he completely recuperates he will partner Llorente upfront. He is more decisive player. Currently the only one of our forwards who can make a difference.

Vucinic is the one making the diffrence when we need him. giovinco has a long way to go

If he ever finds that way.

Vucinic looks weaker this season eventhough I agree he's one of our key players as he's the only one capable of holding the ball. But Giovinco has been as effective as him sos far, so we'll see. Either way, both partnership look damn good IMO, I think we'll bang many goals that way.
