being on form doesn't mean he will carry that to a new club, especially a club that is a huge leap to what he is used to. I'm not defending Llorente's performance this season but to justify replacing him with someone of lesser experience and quality for an amount that could be better spent elsewhere is just silly. Llorente is a confidence player and this system doesn't suit him with Tevez making Llorente isolated upfront
It's learning when to let go. It's probably time for Llorente to move on our system will work better for Zaza especially when brining berardi back.
And your willingness NOT to sign a striker that will have more effect versus a striker you acknowledge as having a poor season is sorta defending him without saying it.
