Player Watch: Fernando Llorente

[Cornpattbuck]

Fair play to Llorente, again. Clearly an absolute gent.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

Bring him home DL

 

[OPModric]

Is it a different deadline for free transfers?

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

There is no deadline. He’s a free agent.

Or a tight arse.

Or a tight arse.

Ah, you are alive. ?

I for one wouldnt mind having him back in our squad. He adds something different, and he was instrumental in our success in Europe last season. Teams dont know how to play against him, and I cant think of someone still applying their trade that offers the same.

 

[spids]

No point re-signing him. We have 4 strikers (Kane, Son, Moura, Parrott) and he’s a year older and slower and would take up a needless non-HG spot in our squad and £50k+ a week in wages. If we want to sign Lo Celso and Fernandes then we need to be ruthless and not sentimental. Plus Llorente should find a club where he can get lots of minutes (and goals) in what will almost certainly be the last season of his career!

I really hope we've released Llorente because Poch intends to give Parrot some meaningful opportunities with the first team this season. Even if that is the case, Llorente wouldn't be the worst player for Parrot to train with and learn from.

 

[Sweech]

Not sure why we’d try and re-sign him instead of going for someone like Mandzukic who is reportedly available.

If that’s the type of player we’re going for still.

Because Llorente would be happy to sit in bench, mandzukic wont

 

[FinnYid]

Well, seems there are chances we might be looking here come friday (options for Llorente and other positions):

Welcome Fernando!!

 

[Yiddo100]

Things you love to see?

 

[JCRD]

I love Llorente and would definitely keep him around for a year however

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

 

[ButchCassidy]

Eh. He’d be decent cover for us, he’ll be decent cover for them. No need to get all weird about it.

 

[Steffen]

He's a good man. Deserves a better end to his career than United.

I was watching something the other day and Paul Clement said totally the opposite which did surprise me.
