Fernando Llorente

Whats with the name changing Rex?

Rex

I am depressed of course. 🙁

Llorente has publically said he is leaving in the summer. He is hardly used at all in his club these days, so look for them to try and desperately offload him in January. Will take a hefty sign-on fee no doubt to compensate from what he could get as a free transfer in the summer.

Llorente.. swoons .. Our Hero!!

Gunner89

Times saying we are plotting a 8M move using our warchest before the window slams shut

Doc

no thanks

Claudius

More of that Giroud money

Klaus

Seriously though, he's out of form and hasn't played much lately (which probably means he won't be much of a january signing) but he's a class player. Comfortably better than any centreforward in the league who isn't playing for United or City.

Captain

And he's only really out of form because Bilbao decided to make an example of him once it became obvious that he wasn't going to stay.

Doc

Prefer Ba, better more rounded player.

Claudius

Speed, agility?

Klaus

Llorente is a much better player than Ba.

Doc

why do you think so Klaus?

Klaus

Bigger, more technical, better movement. Better passer. I like Ba but I don't think he's good enough to spearhead a top team. Llorente is used to creative football and could adapt to any role. He's deceptively quick too for someone his size. They've downgraded him on Fifa for some reason but he's got pretty decent pace in reality.

Basically, Llorente is a £25-30 million striker under usual circumstances. Ba is the guy you might take a punt on if he's available and you need a couple of goals.

Claudius

Speed versus Adebayor, for example? Adebayor was really fast.

Klaus

Probably not as fast as Ade but a fair bit faster than Giroud.

Llorente plays similar to jelavic but is a bit stronger and More dominant in the air

Captain

If we're really talking 8m, it is a no-brainer.

More technical but dont agree with rest tbf.. Ba's game outside the box is alot better, his link up play is underated. . We need a striker who is going to make things happen.. Llorent would be more of the same being over reliant on what is happening around him. Ba's pace & movement is superior imo

Yeah exactly. We'd all be thrilled with his signing
