At first when i heard this i thought that it would be a good signing
BUT
31yr old and a 3yr contract. A loan for 12months would suffice. | |

Wecwont get him then though.
Bang in 10 to 15 next season and there will be plenty of interest sign him up. | |

Depends on the price, if we get him cheap and it goes on wages we have previous. | |

Very much a FIFA fanboy style signing, not saying i'm not happy with it if it goes ahead, good for moral. But, if someone put a water gun to my head and told me to choose between Llorente and Ulloa at the same price, i'd go with Ulloa. For 7 million euros, if true, this is good business. | | | |

Llorente and Ulloa frontline for next season?
YES. PLEASE. | | | |

We haven't played 2 up front since the Kenny Jackett days. | |

£6 million pounds.. 3 year contract.. 2 million for each year..
Bit on the pricey side.. but if he bangs them in, it's a bargain | |

Nope. too slow. Either/or, with someone a bit more of an engine | | | |

6'5" - when was the last time we had an outfield player that size? | |
| |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:39 - Jul 27 with 3559 views | TheKirkyLife |
I'd imagine they'll be alternating.
On a side, someone has been a cheeky fecker and changed his current team on the Wiki to Stoke haha | | | |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:40 - Jul 27 with 3522 views | Highjack |
Bartley must be about that height.
Before him, probably Dennis Lawrence at 6'7 | |

Llorente is different class to Ulloa.
If we're going to buy a striker in his thirties for a short-term fix, it's a no-brainer.
Welsh name too. | | | |

Damn,mStoke have got in there before us! | |
| |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:42 - Jul 27 with 3425 views | Highjack |
Is there actually any truth in this or is it just one of those bollocks stories on Twitter? | |
| |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:42 - Jul 27 with 3216 views | Borojack |
Yes I agree one or the other.
Remember years ago getting excited about us signing Terry Connor and Jimmy Gilligan within a couple of days of each other.
How times have changed. | |

So much better than Ulloa and younger than Bony ;-)
If we brought him in together with a younger striker that would be good news.
Seems like it's happening anyway - too much noise for it to be made up although I thought he had joined Sociedad - obviously not.
Edited to add - great player for McBurnie to learn from. [Post edited 27 Jul 2016 21:45]

Very Experienced player with a lot of miles and goals in those legs,if the signing is confirmed he should prove an asset and perhaps send a message to the other players in our squad that Swansea City can attract quality players. | | | |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:45 - Jul 27 with 3073 views | Tummer_from_Texas |
Not quite - Kyle's listed at 6'4"
I think you're correct that we haven't had anyone at least 6'5" since Lawrence. | |
| |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:48 - Jul 27 with 2979 views | Highjack |
We very rarely have anyone over 6 foot, and that includes keepers. | |
| |
| Fernando Llorente on 21:49 - Jul 27 with 2941 views | union_jack |
Nope, he's back at Sevilla now. Gets around a bit, fair play. | |

*Forgot to quote Warwick re Llorente being a different class to Ulloa
Right now, I don't think he is. 2 -3 years ago maybe I'd completely agree with you. Don't get me wrong, i'd be happy with it, especially if cheaper than Ulloa [Post edited 27 Jul 2016 21:52]

he's actually not too dissimilar to Wilf.
plays well with his back to the goal, instinctive finisher, brings players into the attack.
he thrived at Bilbao under Bielsa, so he's clearly not a "slow" player, even if he's a little past his prime. | | | |

Guidolins obviously identified the characteristics of a big, strong target man to lead the line for us this year. Llorente is a gamble, but it may pay off if he can recover any sort of Bilbao or even juve form. I think he was used sparringly last year at Sevilla. | | | |
