Life is not wishful-thinking, if there's no market to sell Llorente with his massive salary for 6-7m, than there is no market and nothing to do from the management point of view. We tried to sell him for a fee for over 2 months, there is nothing more that can be done. Just because you wish it would be different on an emotional level, doesn't mean Marotta can get other clubs to do what he wants. There were two options available: One was releasing Llorente the way we did, getting him from our salary list and the other option was to keep him. And who knows if Llorente still would have been in demand by Sevilla a year from now. If you are for keeping Llorente fine, criticize Marotta, if you are not, he did the right thing. He tried to get a fee for months, it's not like he didn't try, it's not like he didn't wait for an actual offer to arrive.
This situation is a great example of how doing the actual work as Marotta does differs from complaining on the internet about how you would do it, the second group consistently fails to be realistic and pragmatic in their thinking.
