Even more Twitter rumours - Fernando Llorente

[Red Nick]

He'll go to Barcelona next summer.

 

And whose place is he going to take?

 

He wouldnt improve Barca but would improve Real IMO

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Just what we need.

He'll be rotated with Villa, and used as a sub. Gives a completely different option. One they're lacking this year.

 

Which is why a move to Barcelona has been talked about a lot.

Great from a Barca perspective not so good from the players perspective though and I dont think the number one Spanish forward is going to accept being rotated as you put it.

They spoke about this on last weeks Revista.

 

I'd be very surprised if he went there because he won't sit on the bench. Definitely not. Plus, Barcelona are skint at the minute. Which shouldn't really enter the equation as 12/13 Million should be enough to get him.

 

Real Madrid will be the more sensible option I should think. But because he's Athletic through and through and with Real (apparently) meeting with Barcelona representatives on the Rooney situation I doubt he'll go there.

 

He's definitely up for grabs, though.

Signing Llorente would certainly send out a message that LFC can be counted on hunting down good players. And that's a good thing - it's not like we've been signing Torres-quality players the last couple years.

[EgyptianRed]

Outstanding form for the last few years imo, since moving into the center especially.

Just curious, why do you say he would come on the cheap? He is a Bayern lifer.

 

His contract ends at 2012 and he said that he wants a new challenge outside Germany, Bayern will either offer him a HUGE sum of money to convince him to stay, something that is against the club policy, they may also sell him on the cheap or risk losing him for free the following year.

I actually wouldn't mind Bent. The lad scores goals. For about 8 million he'd be a snip

 

 

8 million? :eek:

 

More like 18 million. Spurs bought him for 17 million a few years ago. They sold him to Sunderland for around 10 million(16.5 including add ons)- who inturn bought a foreign striker for 13 million in the summer. 8 million is a tad low mate. He is English and he scores goals and will cost loads.

I guarantee he won't come to us. He'll go to Italy.

Mourinho is a big fan of the lad and of German players, I'm sure he'll be keeping a close eye on the situation, problem is he won't find anyplace in the Madrid midfield which is over crowded already.

[Mike84]

Another mata, he'll never sign but get continuously linked.

[llego]

Schweini and Müller will both be at Bayern for a long time.

He'd improve Barca more than Madrid. They'd just switch Villa to the Left of the front 3 and put Llorente in the centre.

That leaves Pedro out

Pedro doesnt start every game. They rotate every game. So Iniesta is either wide left or in the centre of midfield.

Thats why I think they won't buy Llorente, it is the same reason they sold Ibrahimvic, he is suited to Barcelona's style of play and the team is too overcrowded with players that I think it is too difficult for him to play every match, something he maynot accept at club level.

I saw the same thing on revista, and read some article from one of the Spanish papers last week (not AS or Marca).

 

Really can't see Llorente going to Real Madrid.

 

He's not a massive cunt.

[RobbieOR]

Either was Xabi or Bob....

[Josef Svejk]

Either was Xabi or Bob....

 

Going directly from A. Bilbao to R. Madrid would not be cool...

[Guest PurpleNose]

Either was Xabi or Bob....

 

Bob isn't Basque so wasn't really relevant to my point.

 

I don't think Llorente will go to Real Madrid because he's Basque.

 

Possibly playing for Athletic Bilbao creates the hatred for Madrid based teams, especially Real Madrid, more than playing for Real Sociedad or Osasuna does.

You said he wouldnt go because he's not a cunt. Thats why i replied well either were Xabi or Bob.

 

Oh and I agree with the last line.

Ok. I thought it was fairly evident what I was referring to. If not, I apologise.

 

Some players give a fuck about loyalty, rivalries etc, others don't.
