It’s a shame - feel after his CL contribution in the knock outs last year he’ll be fondly remembered.
Suspect another season will leave us ruing re-signing him.

@Sky:
Tottenham may re-sign Fernando Llorente, 34, on a free transfer. The Spaniard is a free agent after his contract expired at the end of June and the north London club are believed to have offered him a new one-year deal.
We've been pretty decent with Llorente, he has a one year offer from us that will pay him a much reduced salary (still over 2m for one season) it's been made it clear he will be a 'reserve' player ... he is free to negotiate any deal with any other club knowing he has us as a fall back, we didn't need to do that so I think it's a pretty decent stance to have taken ... reward for the unselfish work he's put in ...
Annoying story on BBC about how awesome De Ligt is - no mention of being humiliated by an immobile ageing centre-forward’s butt!
He was honestly really, really bad in the league last year but had impact in the CL when he played, not necessarily in goals, but presence in the box.
Don't really want him to come back for next year but he's surely better than Janssen/nobody
Yeah, I heard it's on reduced money, but it's probably still a lot more than he would get anywhere else...@Sky:

It was Blind that got monstered by Llorente, not De Ligt. In the end it got so bad that they put a different CB on and pushed Blind into the middle.
Oh, well, still annoying me, though! Thanks for correcting me...I’ll have to go back to being annoyed about the excuses for Liverpool being beaten where it’s only hot for one team, then...(another BBC article).It was Blind that got monstered by Llorente, not De Ligt.

You are one of the few on here to have the courage to speak out like this. I appreciate your contribution.Seems a real good guy but apart from 3 or 4 moments he has been absolute pish.
Which alot of fans did not understand about last season. Once he got himself up to speed he was very useful i thoughIf we do sign him i hope we play him a bit more. At his age you cannot expect him to suddenly appear in Feb and hit the ground running after 4 months on the bench
