I really want RVP to come to Juve. I know many people don't, but his quality is undeniable. The reason we have turned back into a top team is because we initially bought good squad players then reinforced it with elite talent. We can't afford to buy top players who are in high demand but buying top players who are available for a good price is smart. Van Persie is 31 so we could easily get 3 great seasons out of him and have one of the best strikers in the world. Bringing him here seems obvious and I think he would have a huge desire to win titles given his lack of titles won in his time in England.
Plus if Tevez leaves wouldnt everyone want a player who can carry an attack on his shoulders like Tevez does for us currently? Also If Tevez stays I would much prefer RVP than Llorente (who played over 2500 min this season for us). Essentially if we let Llorente move on we could just have RVP replace him. Seems brilliant to me as RVP is miles ahead of Llo in quality.
We are trying to become a team that competes for CL every year... can't have 1 good center forward in the squad (Morata) and expect to do that.

It would be a Tevez kind of transfer. He was also "finished" at City, almost the same age, almost similar goal scoring stats.. We cant buy only young players. Keep in mind that a MIX of young AND "older" players is the way to go. If Tevez leave and we cant get Cavani, RVP is a good replacement for Tevez. RVP, Morata, Dybala, Coman, 5th striker.
RvP wants guaranteed 1st choice minutes to prep for the Euros...
Give those minutes to Alvaro, he is developing beautifully, and it would be great to continue to build that bond with the club and his teammates in hope of a long-term commitment. He looks like a special player, to me. I'm not sure bringing in a 32 year old who could actually supplant him for the next year -- but not much longer than that -- is actually the best way to go, there. A whole lot of ego balancing.
Also, all of the future scenarios with forwards that I see tend to omit Llorente. Do people know something I don't? Because as far as I can tell, it seems like he's staying. Everybody at the club seems to love the guy.
Tevez, Morata, Dybala, Llorente, Coman... and Berardi. That's my prediction up top, maybe Zaza will be in there instead of someone, but I can't see Tevez or Llorente leaving, not taking up the option on Berardi, and I still don't think Coman wants to be loaned out (just based upon coming to us in the first place, instead of a smaller club where he'd have been guaranteed minutes).
Really interested to see what our forward lineup looks like on September 1st!

Id take RvP over Zaza to replace Llorente if he's to replaced by another centre forward. But our squad would be better off with a wide forward like Berardi in a Tevez-Morata-Dybala trident.
