Why didn't we sign this guy again?

Is he not interested in leaving Spain or something?

Yep. A big bastard #9 who isn't just a clogger. Nice control and touch and powerful in the air. Not the most mobile but hardly immobile either.

Just about to come into his prime too.

He was all the rage two summers back according to the ITKs. Ah well.

Because he wants 140k a week
Is that what he's really asking for? Not sure he'll get that tbh. RM don't need him, not for that kind of money anyway. Chelsea? Maybe Malaga will want to add him to their ever epanding collection of players.

Harry wasn't sure about him was he? I'm sure that's what some of the ITK's were saying anyway.

You wait until after he is the leading scorer in the euros. No way we can afford him now let alone after, sad times!

Been subbed off now. Not sure if he's injured or not.

I remember after the Bilbao game in pre season a lot on here were saying he's not all that. Wanted us to sign him after Berba left, just what we need up front.

Oh well, the ship has well and truly sailed it seems. Shame after the apparent interest from us for a good yr or so. If he's too rich for our tastes, that's that.

If Levy is supposedly prepared to make up the rest of Adebayor's £170k in bonuses and other bits then theoretically we could do the same for Llorente... That is if he would want to come - Bilbao are currently outside even the Europa places in La Liga...

I don't believe that Llorente wanted 140k. Never heard anything like that. What I heard, like others, is that our scouts were keen but Harry wasn't completely sold on him. Although I think Peanut said that Llorente wasn't too impressed by the London area, so perhaps it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Well that's great. But I heard he wanted 140k a week, and nothing to do with Harry at all.

EDIT: Check JJetset's posts on Llorente. He's well connected.

Because he is not PL proven. Irrespective of how well they are doing in other major leagues across the world, if they have not done it in the PL then they are currently not good enough to lead the line for us......

Spurs Bear is right. Harry wanted him, he wanted 140k a week, we couldn't do the deal.

Crazy money. Malaga is about it then. Unless RM buy him just for the hell of it. It has been 5 minutes since they signed someone after all.
