sure, it's aclear indication he will fail.

spain = posession football.

juve - possession football.

the possession style might be different but the rules still apply.

Just a random fact.

Juventus possession in 2012/13 - 57.7%
Athletic possession in 2011/12 - 57.7%

I checked it on WhoScored and i didn't take last Athletic season, because of Llorente situation in the club.

Still can't belive we signed him and that for free, when his name popped up a couple of seasons ago I was like "yeah right. we'll never be able to get him" especially with rumors about Real, Chelsea and the likes interested too.

I imagine he will do his best to demonstrate his naysayers he still got it....and is a plus to do it in Italy...were very few spaniards have suceeded.

When we were firstly interested on him, he was in a great form and we could not really ask for anything better.
Now we can appeal everyone, he has been sided a bit too much, to punish him and this might affect his performance a lot.
Such players need the possession and support to work and we will surely provide, i believe even better than his standard support, BUT it is certain than it is much more difficult to score in serie A, than it is in Spain.
Ok, as we can see from the NT, ITaly has horrible defenders right now, but the teams employ tactics that supporting the defenders a lot, anything for the result, whilst on Spain they mostly play for the spectacle and forward get more space.

Even at his best Llorente was never a +20 finisher, if he adapts he could the best finisher we have right now (mostly because all our forwards really suck at that), he could be a great relief of our finishing issues in the league, but he is not the one that will help us make the next step in quality, esp as Europe level is concerned.

Llorente ought to be among our ranks two seasons ago. Now we are after top level finishers.
