Bats has gone to Dortmund according to BBC....
Why do we want such a big fee for llorente?
Just get what we paid and maybe a bit more
and then run

Which suggests Giroud will go to Chelsea and Llorente will stay here.Bats has gone to Dortmund according to BBC....

Exactly. He will be worth much less in the summer.
Any striker who signs for us in the next 10 years is going to be backup for Kane, so if he rejected us now, he’ll reject us in the summer.Kristof Terreur is reporting that Dortmund and MB have agreed personal terms and a loan has been agreed with Chelsea with a medical planned today.
In all likelihood he goes to BVB for rest of the season.
We should seriously consider trying to sign him in the summer IMO.
Unless it's because of holdup on Giroud I am not sure why L'Equipe would have any inside track on a deal between us and Chelsea for Bats. Seems like everyone is saying he's off to Dortmund to finalize a loan.L'Equipe reporting this morning that we were still pursuing a swap deal for Batman and Nando late yesterday evening.
Seems highly unlikely but you never know, maybe Chelsea would prefer Nando over Giroud and it might mean that the latter would go to Dortmund instead of MB if we can convince him to come to Spurs.
Very much doubt it though.
Fair point! You're probably rightI have a feeling that the high figure may only apply to Chel$ki but if someone elsewhere (Spain?) came in for him we'd take less.

I do agree to an extent but then we have to have striker cover do we not? It would be down to Poch to try and find ways to convince that player he'd get game time like he no doubt would have done with Llorente.
It may not end up being Batshuayi but at some stage we have to be like the other top clubs and have real strength coming off our bench. We're so lucky to have Kane but he gets injured and we need a viable backup/rotation option if we're ever going to challenge for the big trophies.
I think with Batshuayi now off to Dortmund that's us done for the day (once Moura is officially announced).
Can't really see anything else happening at this stage.
I agree that I can’t see anything else happening but it doesn’t tie in with Hercs ITK from the past week or so. Llorente was staying and we were actively pushing for 2 deals for this window. Now Llorente is available and the incoming is subject to him leaving? I’m also confused over if option 1 didn’t come off then we’ve an alternative lined up? Are we to assume that’s gone tits up too?

No. Imo he was never going, people overreacting. I admit I was excited about the idea of bringing someone more suitable behind Kane, but guess it's better to leave for summer.Has Llorente been linked to anyone other than Chelsea?
I'd think you'd find there would be plenty of takers if he became "for sale".Has Llorente been linked to anyone other than Chelsea?
Newcastle are desperate for a striker
