Hang on West Brom got Krychowiak? And Swansea getting Renato Sanchez? MADDDDDD
Janssen has the potential to come good. He's still a youngster. Llorente is in the twilight of his career. I can understand the logic of an upgrade on Vinny in the short term, but I think it is a mistake to sell him. He should be loaned IMO.
I remember going to a preseason against Bilbao years back thinking we were signing Llorente 
Feels a bit like the early Premier League years when Ravenelli, Lombardo, etc all went to shit clubs
Llorente is just a white Benteke FFS.
Very slow and static which is the last thing we need in our attack.

I really think the whole dynamic of the market has changed, previously the premium was for those clubs to conclude business early now it is where the value is to be had before the scale of deals include.
Giroud like plan B. Someone to cross balls into late in the game if we need a goal.
I'm all for it at the price quoted. At that age you wouldn't want to go higher.
Swansea need a replacement though and I think the Bony deal is off.
Should the thread title be changed to waiting for Doggo?Walk that pooch, Freudy!
Llorente can be our Ibrahimovic.
To be fair we are shite in the air. How many corners and free kicks do we waste. For 15m hed be a good buy.
He netted 15 goals for Swansea last season. 1 goal per million
Lorente ain't a bad but is not what we need, we need real pace in attack with end product.
Going form talking about Martial, Mahrez (don't like the guy), Martin etc to talking about Lorente is a bit shit, hopefully just media talk.
That is of course unless Lorente and a wide forward are both coming in which case I can see the sense.

I remember when we played Bilbao in a pre season friendly at WHL.
He was incredible. Obviously alot younger then but I think his physical ability hasn't changed. Never one to rely on pace and is unbelievable in the air. Has European experience and a much better plan B than Janssen.
Practically kept Swansea up with his goals
But bed is soooo comfortableWalk that pooch, Freudy!

BBC are reporting it. Probably more to it that just tabloid crap.
I think the bid we had accepted was £15m.. I can see Levy paying that if he thinks he'll improve our squad, which he would.
edit- also with janssen leaving for something like £25m, we can definitely afford someone with little sell on value for £15m
