Fernando Llorente

[Ekmek]

Am I the only one would take Batshiayi over Llorente in a heartbeat and pay them a few bob also?

Of course not but problem is Bats do not want to be second striker.

If the media are day or so behind, then maybe the chain is complete and from our end Llorente is gone, but we don't know the rest of the chain.

Was thinking he same thing. Maybe Poch has a talk with Michy and he’s game to come now?

You're not. But Bat wants first team football which we will not give him

 

[JB_Spurs]

Never been so confused in my life, which is saying something

No...

But I doubt Levy would go for that.

Batshuayi + cash for Llorente? He might go for that.

Batshuayi + Hazard for Llorente? I think he'd probably lean towards yes.

 

[BasingstokeYid]

Cheeky bid for Aubameyang ?

Would be nice, but player himself has said he would not sign for us because of the way Levy acted in previous negotiations

Chelsea could tell him he’s not gonna get it there either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think he'll stay if Batshuayi doesn't come here.

This is getting into some meta-physical shit.

Maybe llorente is simultaneously gone and not gone everytime we look away.

Schrodinger's llorente

Batshuayi almost certainly is not coming as he wants to only move if he is the main striker.

 

[nailsy]

Lots of rumours in the summer that we wanted a fast wide striker and it was a little odd we ended up with Llorente.

Maybe a fast wide striker has now materialised. I think Man City and Liverpool have shown there are alternatives to big centre forwards.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us move for Schurle. He can play on either wing and provide back up for Kane. He's also available on loan if the reports are to be believed.

Nope I’d be very happy with that-we should be all over that if there is even the slightest chance

 

[Majick]

Almost anywhere would be better than Chelsea for him to get game time, but it's not likely he'd want to come here I guess.

 

[rossdapep]

But what if Conte is "Llorente or else!!!!"

 

[Maxtremist]

He knows that surely. That's why he wants to go Dortmund

I would certainly take him ovet Jay Rod any day. Still, I can understand why he wouldn’t want to come to us after being second fiddle since his move to England. He probably still has a fleeting hope of getting in the Belgium squad and would need to play first team in order to get that.

 

[GutBucket]

Yeah but if he doesn't get a move to Dortmund it could become a choice of Chelsea or Tottenham where he will at least get more time. Time is running out and I doubt we'll see many other deals with him and Conte really likes Llorente. I don't think it will happen but it's still possible IMO.

This is like being stuck in a flow chart ...
