As for tracking back, if he doesn't do it he won't play - that's what Guidolin was on Monteros back for last season. I'm not excited by this signing - I certainly don't feel it's improved our team anyway.. 7 goals for a striker in a season is poxy. He got 1 goal per 5 games last season. We only got him because no one of any stature was interested - that says a lot.
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...inside-track-spain-fernando-llorente-11706378 Is it a surprise to seem him go to Swansea? It is not much of a surprise. It has now been a few years without being at his very best level and he was no longer in the selection thoughts of Del Bosque who took him to the last European Championship. His salary at Sevilla is high and he is no longer fully convincing in Spain. But, in the Premier League, where money is no problem, he can reconnect again with the goal – especially because the more direct style is one of his strengths because of his height and his good heading ability. What type of striker Swansea can expect in Llorente? A forward of the area. He is not a footballer who will move lots or help in pressure, but he is a skilled player with his feet and can be great when he is determined. He knows how to use his body and is intelligent, so I do not think he will change much in the Premier League. So is he suited to be a success in the Premier League? I sincerely believe that he can come good as long as the team plays for him. If not, he is a player who does not have too many resources and could suffer. But if Swansea play passes to the wing and uses crosses, or play him with another skillful striker at his side, he could again be the big striker he was.
Got love some of these media reports. According to the Express West Ham and us are looking to agree £16 million for Ayew (Hammers looking to to buy both Ayew brothers for £24 million) Jordan is looking to leave Villa and the Hammers are prepared to pay £8 mill. According to the report we are now willing to drop our valuation as we have pretty much signed Llorente. Ridiculous
As someone eles pointed out why not put bid in for Jordan that may keep his brother with the club and he's cheaper than Chadli
I mentioned this before, think he could do well here, he scored goals in an abysmal team last season.
Good signing that I reckon, had a **** season with Sevilla, but his record prior was excellent. He'll give you a different dimension up front for sure.
1- 2 ,this was during our piss poor period which went on for too long with a manger who had outstayed his welcome. (that applied to both managers at the time )
King goes out on loan http://www.swanseacity.net/news/art...y-adam-king-southend-united-loan-3224365.aspx

Didn't realise that he's 6ft 3. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...o-madrid-striker-borja-baston-to-the-liberty/ Baston, Ayew and Llorente would give us a great amount of firepower and experience.
Hull apparently want Bony on loan.....as if https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...SunFootball-_-20160801-_-Football-_-533063548
Can't see that happening. This quote is interesting though "Hull are keen to end Bony’s Etihad misery but face competition from his former club Swansea".
