Fernando Llorente (138 Viewers)

[Klovn]

Now, I'm not suggesting he be given six months before judgements start to be passed, but to criticise him before the season has even started is hilariously stupid.

There are alot of hilariously stupid people in here. So makes sense.

I like the fact that llorente can do something other than just finish. I like the fact that tevez and llorente can offer a lot more than what we have had over the years. We have gone a long way without having forwards who have scored loads of goals. These two guys can score goals but they will offer a lot more to get others into the game, especially from midfield.

does anyone else think llorente is similar to Boksic? Boksic could do a lot, fast, dribble create was tall etc...but was never a 25 goal per season type of player.

I don't know, he just reminds me of him a little bit.

It should also be easier to integrate one striker at a time into the system Juve play.

Tevez can find his feet surrounded by ten player who know the system, including, importantly, his striker partner.

Then Llorente can be eased in as he gains sharpness and Tevez should, by that time, know the system and make it easier for Llorente to slot in.

Precise post.

Boksic!? Not even close. Vucinic can be compared to Boksic. They have similarities.

Boksic was more like Llorente in terms of strength, but more of a mix.

 

[Osman]

Boksic was a quick counter attacking 2nd forward, with excellent technique and dribbling. Size similarity with Llorente but nothing else.

 

[JuveJay]

That's why I said a mix of the two is not far off. Boksic was a lot stronger than Vucinic is.

I'd also say he was more of a gifted CF than a SS, he had typical CF traits mixed with a more skillful SS.

Llorente and Boksic Jay please. Boksic was physically stronger than Vucinic but that's it. Every similarity with Llorente ends there. Technique, dribbling, creativity... If Alen had better finishing he could have gonna very far.

You've quoted one thing and replied as if I said another.

I'll help you. A mix of Llorente and Vucinic - power, technique, dribbling, creativity and not particularly good finishing - Boksic.

You said he was a mix of both or my vision is suddenly deteriorating? If strength as characteristic is enough to be compared to someone than Llorente has a lot of similar players around.

I'll help you. A mix of Llorente and Vucinic - power, technique, dribbling, creativity and not particularly good finishing - Boksic.

How nice of you. Quite condescending. And again you couldn't be more wrong.

 

[JuveJay]

Not just strength, but I know a pointless discussion when I see one.

 

[Vlad]

Just strength and nothing else between those two. Very different players but why am I even discussing this with you? For myself

C'mon DP84, Jay is good people. You can agree to disagree, but no need to facepalm Save those sort of reactions for the Cronios, Lions and Linebreaks of the world.

 

[Vlad]

I apologise.

 

[Bianconero81]

Boksic is more of a Tevez if anything. Strength, power, pace, technique, and agility. Obviously Boksic is the taller guy, but they have a lot of similarities in my humble opinion.

 

[Osman]

He was one of the more fun counter attacking players to watch, very quick and tricky on the ball, wouldnt classify him more as CF mainly because he excelled so well in moving around wide and roaming between channels mainly looking to set up others and running into space etc. Was quite fabolous to see him Ale and Zizou, however brief it was. For those that need reminding, suitable clip of his qualities or how he was used with us (4-3-3-ish set up):




And yeah Mirko comparison is fair mainly for both being wasteful infront of goal

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah they are similar, aside from the aerial threat. I also think Llorente's attributes aren't fully understood, like he is some static donkey.

He was one of my favourites, quite difficult to think of many now who are big but play like a smaller man.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I remember one goal against Man United where he shrugged Nicky Butt off him like a rag-doll.

 

[JuveJay]

Are Spain taking the piss calling Llorente up for next week?
