Fernando Llorente

[Metalhead]

Not excited about him at all but an upgrade on Janssen none the less.

That must at least be pleasing!

The wife even perked up after an evening of huffing with me due to SSN on a loop to ask me who he was... .

Solvent abuse is no way to cope with the transfer window...

 

[Nine while nine]

@Grey Fox turns out to be the Hans Christian Andersen - or possibly even Danny Kaye - of Spurs Community...

He told us that all of our ducks were in a row and, lo and behold, one of them turns out to be a beautiful Swan.

Welcome Fernando. I trust you'll do the Chicken Badge proud.

Bony has done his medical, but not all fully completed just yet expect it will be in the next hour and half.

People are now following him through Swansea

Brilliant

Well sure, it's an upgrade but I still hope we sign a forward with pace who can beat a man that's good enough to start most games for us. Far more important than backup striker IMHO

This pisses off the chavs so I'm happy.

13 - Fernando Llorente's goals were worth 13 points for Swansea last season, only Diego Costa's goals won his team more points (15). Useful.

Hopefully this signing is followed up with conte walking out on Chelsea!

Lovely to add a 6'4" handsome Spaniard to our already stunning squad

Expecting a 9pm official confirmation.

This is a better signing than a lot of people are giving credit for.

Scored goals all his career in 3 different leagues experienced, holds the ball up really well strong and a good header of the ball, not to mention he's a natural goal scorer something we have not had other than Kane in years.

He will be a great asset from the bench, in cup games, especially champions league, more importantly someone that can come in when Kane's injured for a month or two, needs a breather or maybe even as a partnership when we need a goal.

Sadly for VJ it is curtains but he's a player that can score a dozen goals for us this season

Am I the only one getting twitchy that this hasn't been announced yet?

(well it worked in the Aurier thread).

Nah

Wi Bony just means little girl out in Wales

 

[Spurger King]

I can't see how he'll be anything other than an asset for us. An eye for goal and great in the air. A brilliant option late in a game or if we need to switch tactics:

Poch will have the confidence to use Llorente off the bench, which he never demonstrated with Janssen.

Llorente is proven at the top level, and the type of signing that Levy has traditionally never contemplated, let alone sealed. Davids and Naybet both brought veteran experience, but they didn't cost north of £12 million.

The window wasn't perfect, but our squad is stronger now than at the end of last season.

 

[drh]

With Trippier providing delivery he will be a real asset.

 

[Don_Felipe]

Despite the photo, I suppose this could still be down to whether the Bony medical works out OK... Should rule out Chelsea, though

 

[Setzthree]

Honestly think this is a real coup.
