If true, at £18M, I think this would be a good outcome for us. Even better if we can throw in Firpo for free.

I believe that Roma play in the Stadio Olimpico, shared with Lazio, some distance from Spain??Originally Posted by hopelesslyoptimistic
On the question of Firpo, I've seen some really good play from him (not as LB I'll grant) and wonder if a CM-type position wouldn't suit him better (at least in the PL/LUFC scheme of things)?

Going forward or played in a more attacking role I agree he can look good - we are blessed with options there though.I believe that Roma play in the Stadio Olimpico, shared with Lazio, some distance from Spain??

The goal and the crowd singing his name seemed to boost his confidence at the weekend too.
He apparently had a hard time at Barca which probably knocked his confidence. his start with us and the ever changing back 4 and injuries last season probably didn’t help either.
Defensively he often looks frozen and for someone so big looks weak challenging for the ball.
I fear it may be a case of this wasn’t the right move for him and he might flourish somewhere else. That said having Wober inside him who looks good and constantly talks might help him.

18 million????

What time will I pick him up for the airport?

Llorente is going to Roma unless something changes quickly. No idea of the price. Weston McKinney coming from Juventus. My American inside sources tell me he really badly wants to get out of Juventus. Leeds were not willing to pay price for sale so loan only. After Juventus got docked 15 points, most players want to leave and when McKinney heard that he could team up with his mates Adams and Aaronson, he jumped at it really quickly. Apparently he was playing pretty well at Juventus too. Regular in the starting lineup for Juventus, so not bad I imagine. Serie A has a reasonable standard.

Rumour is the 18m we paid for him and the contract extension was apparently to increase his value which if true was a smart piece of business.

Can't say im sorry to see llorente go, he was woeful, couldn't pass or kick a ball straight, only to the opposition. Just a recognised left back needed, unbelievable as a Premier club we have no left back.

Can’t understand why he was being picked for the team, if now suddenly he’s surplus to requirements.
Jessy will probably still put his name on the next teamsheet.
