I rate Llorente very highly, whoever ends up with him will have an absolute beast in their ranks. And for the record I think Llorente is the spanish player with the best attributes to do well in the Premier League.
United linked with Fernando Llorente

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Oh comeon Llorente is a world class player too. His league goalscoring record with Bilbao is astounding, 41 league goals in 94 games. Anyway lets agree to disagree on that. Strangely enough it was the same argument discussed on MUTV with Paddy taking your role and the MUTV journalist mine
To be honest that's hardly astounding record. He is a very good player though, as Vato says and I believe he's watched him many times.
And where did I say it's bad?Perhaps a better statistic is the 30 goals he scored last season. More than impressive for one who excels with his back to goal.
Now this is astounding.
Gone to Juventus for €35m!
juve finally got a striker they were hunting for.
What is €35m in real money?
And for the record, LLorente is 27, RVP is 29

Apparently it's all a hoax and he's not actually signed for Juve.
27.4m but lets not pretend that Llorente is as accomplished as our Robin because he is not.
Very different players
27mil jayziz didn't think that was gonna break the twenty mark once Juve were involved, also confirms that they certainly had the cash for Van Persie but he was dead set on coming here. Lovely Jubbly
Pogba's move doesn't look too bad after all. They are really making a statement. Not better than us mind you.
Marca states Juve offered 16M euros and Arsenal are ready to top that, which they should more than be able to.
I hope Juve get him
We should buy this guy as well. What's another striker anyways?
On a serious note, Arse should go all in for him.

Wow if Arsenal get him I'll be impressed, Cazorla played a very good match aswell with Spain yesterday against Puerto Rico. He'll be a good replacement to try and make them forget Van Persie and I bet he'll be a success in England, he should move from Bilbao if he wants to improve as a player IMO.

Indeed, they would likely be better off than having kept an uncommitted RvP. Would be a massive boost/silver-lining for their fans.
Isn't Llorente too similar to Giroud?
AS think Spurs are in for Llorente, and that's where the Modric money will go (Soldado says he has turned down an offer from Spurs).
Marca think Arsenal will arrive with RvP money.
Juve are supposed to be looking at Negredo or Dzeko as alternatives.

Why don't Juve go for Berbatov for 5million?
Of course it's City, as Dzeko replacement if they manage to sell him. There's absolutely no way United would be interested. The London club could be anyone - Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal could do with him. My money would be on Tottenham though.
Most definetly has to be City.
Right?
Right?
Got to be city, no way we will want another striker now surely.
Tbh i dont even know why they want him anyway, unless dzeko is out.

I highlighted the Manchester bit not because I thought it could be United but because as our direct title rivals we should keep an eye out for who they're interested in etc.
City
Hopefully being a first choice striker for tottenham will pursuade him more than sitting on the bench for city.
Surely Arsenal should be all over this. And have money to spend.
Olivier Giroud.
All the more reason.
Arsenal should have bought him instead of Giroud. He would fit in nicely I think, especially with Cazorla already in the team.
Yep, I would agree with this as well. I fully expect many to underrate this powerful & skilled striker.
Thought Chelsea would be interested as Drogba's replacement.
I hope he ends up at Spurs
Just saw an interview with him on Revista, out of contract in the summer, not signing a new one. Where do you think he'll go? Will he leave in January?
Chelsea or Arsenal would be solid clubs for him and they can manage his wage demands.
Just what Liverpool need surely? Good partner for Suarez
