Fernando Llorente (44 Viewers)

[Luiggi]

so if llorente wasn't wanted by conte to begin with, is it marotta's fault?

What is Marotta's fault
Having a quite good player avaible for free??
He was betting, cheap bet

If the player dos it Ok you get a top player for free
If not you can sold it in winter window and still make some money.

Only "problem" is Nando's wages.. but he will be willing to play by december so he will probably agree to leave with a pay cut.

I think it's perfect business for Juve.

it's not that simple of a gamble. we've been lacking on the striker department for the longest time. now we have tevez but he's not much of a goalscorer so we're still lacking. fernando was supposed to be the solution.

 

[Ragazza]

This guy.

Athletic fans are like weird cultists.

I know a couple Athletic fans, trust me they are not all like this. The ones I know actually wish Llorente well & are genuinely concerned that he hasn't been playing.

Still might be...

I don't know a single Ahtletic fan that wish Llorente well (at career level)... And I live, eat, work, live with a bunch of them. Hundreds. Some of them knew the guy personally.
Most of them are sad cause there's the feeling that Llorente flushed his career down the toilet and damaged Athletic in the process. I't been sad for both parts.

I do get the impression that they're in the minority. But one of my friends knows several Athletic socios & except for one of them, they all continue to support Llorente & didn't like the way he was treated by staff/fans.

Al-Jazeera sport commentator was saying that there's a chance he could leave in January and hand his request soon because he doesn't want to miss his place in Brazil. He also said that it's not true that he isn't match fit like Conte is making it seem/look.

 

[Luca]

Conte will play him against Verona, only for it to be the wrong team to throw him in against = bad performance and poor Llorente doesn't play again for a while.

Conte asked Llorente to warm up, he did for 35 minutes, then giovinco was brought on. Dick move.

Conte asked Llorente to warm up, he did for 35 minutes, then giovinco was brought on. $#@! move.

The same scenario was against Inter but Quag came on.

Why would he do that? Does he want to break this guy? I always liked Llorente and it makes no sense. He seems like a good fellow, modest, hardworking.

 

[Luca]

Maybe Conte thinks he's too soft?

 

[Suns]

meh, a lot of players get to warm up during most of the 2nd half.

Bielsa used to make him warm up forever with no intention of bringing him on, except in that case it was a bizarre form of punishment/humiliation. Now the same thing is happening at Juve, but no idea why that is.

 

[Linebreak]

Towards the end of the game we should've been playing 4-3-3 with Tevez -- Llortente -- Giovinco upfront.

But hey, we're just fans, what do we know?

 

[dann10]

The excuse saying "Llorente isn't match fit" is a complete lie imo. I think there is something else behind it. How fit could De Ceglie really be? The guy played like 6 games last season.

I think that what is behind is the feeling that if I Llorente fails is good for Athletic. I feel sorry for the player, truly sorry; but the big one, the boss, the team reference player becoming world champion while playing for Athletic and becoming a forgotten bench warmer playing outside Athletic sends a powerful message: "there's no place like home"...

I hope you get relegated.

Whatever there is I feel sorry for Nando. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. I hope he hands in a transfer request.

Please
He warmed up exactly the same he's doing it now at Juve and exactly the same way is done in almost every team in the world.
He warmed up with 6 or 7 guys... I didn't hear Bielsa was mistreating the rest of them. Just some pressers moaning and complaining just about Llorente wariming as if he was warming alone...
Besides he palyed 26 of those matches... so, please.. let's be serious.

Bielsa is a true gentleman, guys. He doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

Please understand we need to make the players feel like at home; it's all the club can offer the players; apart from a real big bunch of euros... that's why Llorentes case is somehow frustrating.

Conte must have like a personal vendetta or something
