Wouldn't be wise selling him after a season like this, specially taking into account that he didn't have the proper set-up that he usually excels in. However, it would be extremely unreasonable to not consider a straight swap with Sanchez, or anything that is clearly above Llorente's value.
Mm i think is not that simple. Like u said, Llorente is a piece of our puzzle that definitely worked. IMO would be unwise the swap, taking in consideration that he was of the new pieces that worked well. After years of having strikers with less than 10 goals, we found 2 that went up the 15 goal mark.
Also, he gives up some dimension that maybe Ciro will not be able to emulate, which is holding the ball the way Llorente does... but at the same time Ciro has qualities that llorente doesnt, which is being more agile and deadly with the ball at his feet.
Now, sanchez is a player that would be really useful to us, and i hope thatwe sign IF it means switching to a 433 or a variations of the sorts in the games that is needed. But not sure if it would be wise to swap a tried and tested unit, for a uknwown one (for our system).
Also, for the 352 i think we need both of Ciro and LLorente, to have variations for the same CF position.
Playeing Tevez in a 433 as a false 9... i think this is unwise, as it limits our wingplay with crosses, while having Ciro and Llorente there just help us in that matter..
but then what we do with Tevez.....
Also we dont know what conte´s plans are. We hope that he tries new formations, but that is not guaranteed.
