I'm not saying Llorente should be sold ffs.
I'm saying this is an idea that could be considered if the opportunity arises.
It's a risky move of course, and should only be done if we get a good price for him AND have financial resources to complement the signing of a good younger goal scoring SS AND attach one transfer to the other one.
I'd like to see Tevez as a roaming CF. I think our mids have great presence in the area to make up for the absence of a true poacher and I think our team needs more movement off the ball when attacking. A talented fast SS and Tevez as a "false" CF would improve things for us IMO.

But Osman is right.
It's much more realistic to keep the starting team for next season and improving the squad to give Conte other options. See how we'll do in Europe.
2015 Summer I believe we'll have more funds to invest and could be a decent time to make money on Llorente too. I'd really like to see Juve capitalizing on specific guys before they get washed up and we get no money back. It must become a natural process. Selling well, spending money in talented and a little bit younger players.

Yep. My main focus here is not Llorente's quality - He's good enough right now. It's about his age and if there's a way to improve the team with money from his sale. I wouldn't consider it for Tevez for instance 'cause he's more important to the team, I could see him playing more advanced to fill in for Llorente.
But his quality is great for now.

Now this season was very important for rotation purposes. Some players developed and are gaining Conte's trust (which is very fucking hard)
I believe that as of right now Conte really considers the following players for rotation purposes:
- Ogbonna (he's been up and down, you could see Conte was hesitant to trust him - but he's developing and I believe he'll play much more games next season replacing Bonucci/Chiellini).
- Caceres (standout season - even with the errors in CL. Amazing player to have in the squad. Can fill in as a RCB, RB and RWB in the big games)
- Isla (Conte is clearly showing confidence to him - he didn't have a great season but it was better than the last one. He was still lacking offensively, but was much more reliable defensively. I'd be willing to pay 5/6M to keep him now that he's showing to be mentally stronger - even though he's far from the player that was expected.)
- Marchisio (he's become a rotation player with Pogba's ascension - and he's perfect for it. Did very well as a regista. Perfect rotation player)
And that's pretty much it. We have 4 players who aren't in the first team who can be trusted to fill in when needed, including in big games. Of course Isla and Ogbonna are still developing, but I feel Conte tends to trust them and I tend to be optimistic regarding them. I think they will continue improving next season.
Now Giovinco is in his best moment since his arrival and if Conte learns how to use him better, giving him more freedom to move, and if he finally manages to develop his confidence - he could be a VERY useful player to this squad, since his characteristics are unique.
So this mercato IMO we basically need 4 players to have a more complete squad: LWB, CM, W, CF. All of them for rotation. No household name.
LWB - Lulic
CM - Pereyra
W - Gabbiadini
CF - Immobile
Bench would be: Storari / Peluso, Ogbonna, Caceres / Padoin, Marchisio, Pereyra / Lulic, Isla / Giovinco, Gabbiadini, Immobile.

better defensively?? check yesterdays match, Udinese's last 2 attacks came from his side after Licht was subbed out. He is still the player he was, just running with no end product. also his performances for Udinese and Chile was over-rated, I never saw him as a stand out performer for either of those teams. Isla must go. better defensively?? check yesterdays match, Udinese's last 2 attacks came from his side after Licht was subbed out.
