It would be great if Llorente was able get, and stay, fit.

What I genuinely don't understand is why we persist in getting players in who have a history of injury (Llorentes playing record was clear and publicly available). We spent millions on getting Costa/Roberts in, or under new contracts, and they have contributed next to f00k all, so why not apply just a little common sense and use funds like that to acquire players who have a strong, consistent and reliable playing record?

I know there are no guarantees of continued good health, one tackle can end a career, but surely it makes sense to start out form a position of good health and regular game time?
