If Llorente comes it would take some of the workload off of Kane and increase the chance that he remains fit all season. Kane + Aurier in the premiership and CL, and Llorente + Trippier in the other cups seems likely.
Big lump to chuck up top and lump long balls at maybe.I think changing the game is the main point of a Llorente signing. I think he would have made a big difference. Watching the Chelsea match it was commented on that we had no one on the bench who could change the game. Plus the amount of games we will hopefully be playing means he will be worth whatever we are paying for him.
RS? Recent ITK says we're still in with a shot, adds pace, covers multiple positions, potential replacement for rose next year, or even potentially our next baleHerc said we're getting a wide forward. JJ said we're getting pace (but he could just mean Aurier - who knows). Gray seems all over the map. GM is apparently a no go. Not yet seen a link which slots smoothly. Time still to go!
It's very quiet on the ITK front this morning.
Don't know if it's a good or bad sign
Considering ITKs are usually hearing things second/ third hand. I think it's really unlikely they will be hearing about things as they're happening considering how quick everything happens on deadline dayIt's very quiet on the ITK front this morning.

Didn't @Hercules say he was going to be mainly observing today?It's very quiet on the ITK front this morning.

The Chelsea correspondent from Goal.com and Delaney at the Independent have both just said Llorente is likely to choose to us, but not completely boxed off.
Llorente is not a cheap deal, his wages will be pretty big and 15M is not to be underestimated when there is no sell on.Llorente is an astute signing at a time when we can't afford a top young striker, but will buy us a year or two when we should have the cash (and wages).
From what I can see Delaney only said we are more likely to sign him than Chelsea as we've agreed a fee and they haven't, same as Sky and BBC. Goal's Chelsea correspondent the only one saying he'll choose us.The Chelsea correspondent from Goal.com and Delaney at the Independent have both just said Llorente is likely to choose to us, but not completely boxed off.
I think Llorente scored a few goals from crosses by that pacy winger Tommy Carroll at Swansea.

Just looking at the ITK ticker. Saw the possible targets list from last night, Llorente not mentioned at all as target. Then the next post. BBC say Llorente Done just shows you anything can happen on transfer deadline day. If something happens you will hear about it on BBC or SSN first. Especially SSN they have guys at every ground and contacts in every club looking for any small scrap of info. I know we poo poo SSN on here but let's face it they do usually have the right info. Doesn't mean the deals always come off but that is just football transfers and the players agents. Look at the Willian deal and Chelski!The Chelsea correspondent from Goal.com and Delaney at the Independent have both just said Llorente is likely to choose to us, but not completely boxed off.
