Llorente is no mere battering-ram. He and Suarez dovetailing in and around the centre, with Sterling and others popping up on the wings, would do very nicely.

Oh i know he's technically fantastic and i would love to have him, but we need to think about the team
We've JUST started playing like we're used to the formation, but we might have to change it up to accomodate llorente. Either losing suarez in a more central area, or changing our entire system, as llorente won't be as comfortable on the wings as a sturridge or walcott
-------------------llorente---------------------
Suarez---------------------------sterling
or
---------suarez----------------llorente
----------------------gerrard
Enrqiue------------------------------------sterling
------------------------lucas
YouTube is never reliable, even if it showing the player in a good light. Djib Cisse, Mark Gonzalez and others had amazing YouTube videos.
What about
-------------------llorente---------------------
Assaidi------------Suarez-----------sterling
-----Lucas/ Allen------Gerrard/Hendo
type thing. Looks pretty fucking tasty to me.
This is our problem. What does our new addition need to be? He needs to be able to replace Suarez if Luis is injured/suspended. He needs to be able to come in and make an immediate improvement to the team *with* Suarez. He needs to be a goalscorer. BUT. He needs to not change Suarez' current role as central striker, because Suarez is so good there. Oh....and he can't cost a lot of money, because we don't have any.
Certainly is tasty, but Allen isn't the greatest as a dm, so that means lucas is a guaranteed starter.
Also, Gerrard struggle to assert himself from that deep, meaning that we either drop him, or move him further upfield, which will then impact he squad
It's a political powder keg this move
Sign Dirk back?
BOOOO
SG could play on the right of the three- something BR has said he sees as a position he'd like SG in. Having a quality striker is a problem we desperately need right now.
It's a good idea to but considering for years Gerrard said he didn't want to play on the right, why now (when his legs have gone) would it work?
And why hasn't rodgers done it already? We've had the playing squad, he's just preferred to but Enrique left wing instead.
I think perhaps rodgers might have seen that Gerrard on the right won't work like it used to.

CM should be covering more ground than AM. In theory he'd have more in the tank to attack, and might even be able to ignite the turbo charger now and again. SG himself said a few years ago that he was wrong to get hung up on playing in CM. He said he'd play anywhere.
I don't know why we have to sign players to play such specific roles, or with specific roles/formations in mind.
We should just focus on signing quality players and play them.
Quality defenders will defend well and quality goal scorers will score goals.

True, but when I have seen him for full 90 mins he hasn't impressed me. He really is quite average. An English Dempsey.
Dnt get me wrong, i'd love llorente, he's masterful
Just concerned that the signing could destabilise the team
Stop worrying you big pussyhole and get me a fucking mug of tea.
Sez a rimmer.
you know how to cut deep
You forced my hand.
Like any player he needs to be picked regularly
He's proved nothing yet.
True. I asked a poor question. I meant... oh, never mind, we all know British players are massively overpriced so if we buy one we paid too much. Also, if there was a genuine British star of the Gerrard/Owen class ready to break into a PL first team somewhere he wouldn't sign for mid-table fodder like us.
