Dzeko is the better centre forward, I'm not even hesitating on it for a second. However Llorente remains a good alternative, and when his rumoured lower price tag and wages (6M vs. 3-4M?) are considered, he becomes even a very good alternative. Lewandowski would cost similar amount of money in price tag and requested wages as Llorente, so he could be another somewhat realistic alternative.
BTW, how do you pronounce Llorente? Is it "ll" or "y", like in "caballo"?

You're lucky nobody mentioned Calaiò. To bring a bit of on topic discussion then, I still don't know what happened to Džeko over the last couple of years to make him so unattractive to a few members. I really loved him at Wolfsburg and wanted him back then, he hasn't had any big injuries or signs of not being able to produce very good form since. So that's who my vote goes to if I had to choose. I really think consistent game time would bring out his best form again.
I would actually be very happy with either though, I also like Llorente despite not liking the possibility of paying €20m for someone of his quality on the last year of their contract. Just because a player is good doesn't mean you just spend money, I've pointed out a couple of examples of players that went for less.
Yes Salvatore you mentioned Oezil but he's an AM..Generally the strikers are the ones who have a bigger transfer value..And i'd like to think that the scenarios differ between Oezil and Llorente's in this case.Werder are a selling club,they were inclined to sell him obviously whereas Athletic want to really hold on to the player(and doing their best they can) not without a fight atleast and even if they reluctantly agree to sell him(on the player's wish) ,they'd make sure it benefits them in terms of money as well..
Like i said before Athletic rejected a €35m bid from Spurs in Jan 2011..Judging by this you could tell they greatly value the player even if its an inflated price tag.In that respect €20m seems a legit price when you consider their perspective as well.
