Fernando Llorente (181 Viewers)

It doesn't matter, form is temporary, class is permanent. At least that is what everyone says when they include players like Del Piero in their national squads.

Llorente isn't even half the player Torres was at his peak.

Actually Torres is the first player I've seen that has properly lost class.

:facepalm2: Negredo deserve that WC.
TBH Llorente didn't deserve that call by Spain. He can't suit their style as Torres. Torres is different when he plays for his national.

I don't think anyone automatically deserves to go just based on past merit. If that were the case, then Italy's front line would be DP and Totti because they were both better at their peak than any of their current forwards are right now. I actually used to be a big Torres fan, but ever since that last injury before he left Liverpool, to say he's become a shadow of his former self would be an understatement.

He isn't anywhere near his Liverpool form, but he still might be better than Llorente.

Actually Torres is the first player I've seen that has properly lost class.

That's impossible, according to the statement itself.

Doesn't mean it's always true. You can't say Torres is the same player as in his Liverpool days. All players get eventually worse with age but Torres has just simply gotten worse. He's a shadow of the player he used to be.

Torres isn't worthy enough to dispose of Llorente's used condoms.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Negredo doesn't deserve to go either lol

Like 90% of his goals came in a 2 month period, he's a slightly above average striker.

Torres was top scorer at the Euros two years ago, just sayin.

People are surprised that Torres got the call instead of Llorente?

That is hilarious.

Torres was top scorer at the Euros two years ago, just sayin.

And at the Confederations Cup as well lol.

That was clumsy by Gigi.

Was about to say the same. In the build up for this World cup, Torres scored 8 goals on 10 matches for Spain at the Euro 2012 and the Conf. Cup in 2013. As bad as his form is, he's played and won with Xavi, Iniesta and co. so many times already, and scored quite a lot. Llorente's CV is lacking in this regard, plus the man hasn't scored a goal for Spain since 2010.
Torres and Villa are part of the Spanish NT and the super generation that won so much. No matter the form, they are a part of the winning team. Llorente is an outsider. In reality, it was Diego Costa vs Llorente, because Torres and Villa were always certain to travel to Brazil, bar injury.

You said my name but I hadn't posted anywhere.

You're Cum'ron.

Hmmm.

Ohh guys stop overate Llorente. Torres has proven himself with NT years ago and he can still do that. He suits perfect with Del Bosque's system who don't want a player with Llorente's characteristics in his team.
