Fernando Llorente

Announced his retirement.
And then you then think back to where we were with that type of player whom we could attract, to where we’re at now.

We were bloody spoiled at times during the Prem years.
Watching him and the likes of Michu, Gylfi, prime Bony, de Guzman, Fabianski etc was a joy.
Throw Ash, Britton and Rangel into the mix and wow.

A pity we didn’t have a forward thinking manager at the time. I’d have liked to have seen him playing as a right wing back.

I remember Llorente struggling a little bit until that crazy 5-4 game against palace, after that he never looked back and had a strong end to the season. Breaking up the Gylfi-Llorente axis and never replacing it was the beginning of the end.
