Rumour has it he'd like an extension. Certainly worth considering giving him another year. Good fit for a niche squad role now he's found his confidence.

I'm not sure about that. He's looking better with more match practice but he's still been looking tired after 60/70 minutes. That's only going to get worst.
His return though after being consistent minutes can't be sniffed at.
He has a very niche role in the squad. Son is very much #1 backup if Kane is injured. I think having a veteran 3rd choice who is also a good plan B (aerial threat) is nice to have. Plus seems a top pro and is integrated.
Talk of Sturridge does not fill me with confidence. Wouldn't want Andy Carroll either.
Of course if we can get someone in the Werner/Pepe mould then we'd need to move him on, but I'd imagine it is something we are considering strongly.
The thing with Llorente though is that he doesn't threaten anybody's place like Pepe or Werner would. Sooner or later somebody would be looking for a move which isn't the case now. Llorente won't get much time on the pitch and won't expect to either. If we play to his strengths like we've eventually started doing, he's a real asset in the squad. I'd like to see him get another year so that we can concentrate our resources on areal quality CM.
That shouldn’t be an issue when you have a squad of 25 though.the only issue is he takes up a non home-grown spot. I agree he's good enough for another year.

Vorm will likely leave to, freeing another onejust now looking at our squad I see Vinnie who'd Id move first so yeah, it shouldnt be a problem . Gotta figure Vic leaves, too, giving us spots for 2 new foreign players, plus the open spot assuming we move GKN

It's great to think he has had a couple of real moments to savour for us now. For the effort and patience he has shown since signing for us it's the least he deserves.Loved the passion in the stadium when he scored, everyone around me wanted him to score the third.... and he did.
The reaction of him running to the stands and seeing the fans wanting to jump over the stewards to hug him was epic
Hopefully a home grown one so we dont feel up a spot, ideally a older cheap option (like Green at Chelsea or Grant at Man utd), or give Whiteman a chance as number 3true but we will need to replace him with a keeper.
