I’m not unhappy with this news. He is a weak link in defence for sure and, as I’ve said before, he still makes me nervous whenever he gets on or near the ball. I wonder whether, if Roma decide to buy him, we will lose money on the deal, I can’t imagine that they would be prepared to pay anything like £17m. He may prove to be a better player in another system and/or in a slightly less competitive league where there is not quite as much strength in depth, but he has been found wanting in the Premier League, in my opinion.
Llorente makes us all nervous mate, holds onto the ball far too long, either looking for a telegragh pass or a get out clause passing the ball back to Meslier.
Wober is completely the opposite, two footed, accurate passer & as was the case vs Accrington when the ball was played over the top Max over head kicked the ball back into the opponents half, not passing back the ball putting Mes under pressure, saying more or less "you deal with it"
You could see when Llorente was warming up, the gloomy look on his face. If he can't make the first team vs League One opposition, it's time for him to move on.
