Why?I’d say if we have the space, get him back. Year deal. He did a job last season and could do one again.
Have we even announced he’s left yet?
Why?
Do people actually want us to play hoofball? Plus 90% of the time he was terrible.
We have two senior players who can play striker much better than Llorente. It would only block minutes for Parrott too, who is much more mobile and suited to Pochettino's way of playing.
But assuming it doesn't, then what's the point of him? It would be a waste of money.As long as it doesn't block Parrots chances of first team football, then I'd bring him back
Lucas/Sonny can deputize. No need to bring him back. Plus he no longer has a squad number.Get him back.
Kane gets injured.
Every season.
Parrot can be the first choice back up but you cannot ask him to do it alone.
But assuming it doesn't, then what's the point of him? It would be a waste of money.
He's either going to take Parrott's spot which would block his development, or he's literally never going to play.
Realistically we'd have to pay him at least £1m a year, and that is a sunk cost since he is worthless. If we offered him any less he would definitely have options elsewhere with more playing time to boot. We would also have to pay his agent and a signing on fee for him.Probably should have stated that I'd try and get him back on lower wages.
I think his experience could be important, he's won major trophies at club level and it gives Poch another option
That one way was directly responsible for reaching the final thoughThink he had amazing moments for us last year but I think we need to move on from it.
The problem is when he's in the squad it adds a "different dimension" but it also takes away about 3 dimensions to our play. If he's on the pitch up front we basically have one way to play and one way only.
Would rather just have Son, Lucas, or even Parrott play instead.
I doubt Pochettino would be able to accommodate both Parrott and Llorente on the bench, which is kind of what you are implying here.I understand the arguments against, but realistically I don’t think it blocks Parrott as Parrott as is more likely to get minutes when games seem secure and starts in the league cup and FA Cup early rounds, while Llorente would come on on those days where we just haven’t clicked and are getting desperate, which will make use of Toby’s excellent passing from deep.
Additionally, Llorente has a winning mentality and bucketloads of experience at the very highest level, more than any player at the club, which is great off the pitch and in training. Even Kane can still learn from him in some ways I’d wager.
I’d actually think it could make sense to bring in Llorente but only register him in the Champions League, as that’s where centre backs struggle with him most.
I think more that the bench would be tailored to the opponent, as it should anyway in fairness.I doubt Pochettino would be able to accommodate both Parrott and Llorente on the bench, which is kind of what you are implying here.
