Its a close run thing, they had similar goal records last season, with Falcao with the better record. But Llorente offers so much more then just goals. Both are just one step away from being world class strikers.

he's very similar to falcao in that there's not a chance in hell we could get him. Regardless of CL the key as always is wages, that's always the issue and we just can't/wont pay it where others clearly will just pay to stop us developing if nothing else. Maybe in 5 years when we've got the stadium but nothing more than a dream right now. Sorry to be a lead balloon. We just need to get these players 3 years before they get to their level until the stadium. Am hoping coulibaly will become our aguero/llorente/falcao.....

Remember the tv deal went up by 70%. I'm guessing this means that our budget for wages would increase by a fair amount.

You know how Crouch was basically perfect for us - apart from the whole 'not great at shooting, not great at heading, can't really hold up the ball' thing? Yeah, well Llorente is effectively Crouch, but ten million times better.

If we get him we'd be top four. No question. Him and van der Vaart would be absolutely lethal.

You could say he's effectively Adebayor but can shoot, head the ball and pass, lol

I know Llorente is demanding high wages but surely they are no higher than what Adebayor is after? With our reported hefty transfer budget, surely Llorente should be a target and attainable if we're offering Adebayor in excess of £100k per week?
