Does anyone else think he did very well coming in late against Real Madrid for the two legs? He actually held the ball up well and was a general nuisance to their defence.

to be honest I think he's done very well lately, especially when he comes on in the CL matches. one of the things I admire about him is that, despite pretty much losing his starting spot to Morata, it seemed that he just soldiered on (his performances now are better than when he was a starter IMO) instead of sulking about, and he seemingly gets along well with his mates even the young lad who's taken over. great sportsmanship and professionalism there.
hes a really likeable player, you could see that from his time here, but he seems to be done. this is Juve, we got rid of much greater players before Nando, success comes before emotions. hope he does well at his next team though
There are strong rumours in Bilbao saying that the player could be negociating his comeback to Bilbao:

(sorry; just the title, the info is for the paper edition only)
I think it's just his manager throwing the line to see what he can catch... but rumours are there anyways. Thre's some guy in an Athletic forum (and he's usually well informed) that says that those pieces of news are true.
We'll see
Besides, getting him to Bilbao could be troublesome as AFAIK most of the club members and fans (me inlcuded) opposed to his comeback. I don't see Llorente going anywhere: he's getting 4.8 milion euors per season after taxes; and he's comfortable making money and celebrating the titles the team is winning while he's warming the bench; so I don't think he's going to accept a pay cut. And I seeno one signing this guy for 9milion euros per season before taxes.
