Llorente isnt Falcao, but he is certainly more subtle than just a big man.
Llorente is brilliant with ball at his feet but still gives you another option if you wanted to play it up to him.
Taison is not the natural striker we need. He is another flashy dwarf in the attacking midfield.
Do you not think that if we had Llorente upfront, we'd just end up lumping him the ball all too often? Fair play the guy isn't just a battering ram but do you think that he's really good enough with the ball at his feet to include him in the sort of Barca-esque football that Roman seems to want? Genuine question because I've only seem him in fits and bursts and I had him down someone who was just efficient with the ball at his feet.

Statement from @NUFCOfficial: "Demba Ba given permission to speak to Chelsea. As a result he won't be included in tonight's squad."
Bilbao were playing quick ball to feet football before it all fell apart. He is most certainly capable of it. If you end up lumping it to him, that's the fault of players behind, not him, because he is more than capable with his feet.
Definitely. He fits seamlessly into Spain's side, and there's no higher praise than that.
Chelsea in surprise business sense shocker.
Ba for 7 after selling Studge for 12 is great business. Obviously don't know wages, signing on fee's and other clauses yet but Chelsea in surprise business sense shocker.
It seems Ba's agent fees might cost in excess of 5 million, on top of his presumably large wages and 7 million, at 27(?) for someone with a possibly dodgy knee. Risky, but possibly great business
