It is not about whether Llorente is willing to play Drogba role, it is whether michy is willing to stay after that. Maybe one season, if we cannot move him, after that he will unhappy and want to move the next season and we are back to 2 strikers. 

If Llorente is made clear that he's the 3rd choice, would Batshuayi be unwilling to stay?

And remy and way past his prime drogba are not even close to Diego in term quality.

Yes but in this very particular point, you suggested having 3 strikers won't work. Hence why I gave the example.

Does the price really matter? We were clearly after him but one reason or another, we didn't him.

 

I does matter IMO. If we were clearly after him why didn't we matched that 15 million offer?

Your guess is as good as mine. Remember the Lukaku saga? Went after him but didn't match the offer offered by United.

I do think age played a part in it, the board are probably cautious of the squad's average age getting to old and leaving us with another massive rebuild job like it did at the turn of this decade.

Just always pulls it out in the clutch. Props to you, Batsman

He's basically our Edin Dxeko, extremely flawed footballer who scores goals.

Dzeko is so much better than he's given credit for.

I must say that was amateurish defending from Atletico for that goal. The way nobody paid any attention to Bakayoko and Alonso, and the way three players retrospectively went after Alonso leaving the middle so exposed will give Simeone a sore throat towards some players.

They were obviously disorganised because they were expecting the ball to get directly whipped in.

Still shambolic, but great work from our players to position themselves and combine to exploit that disorganisation.

You know, I just wanted to come here and praise Michy for his attitude. He gets some stick from us, but what has impressed me is that in his first season he barely played, got humiliated several times with a few secondcameos, couldn't even get a game when Costa wasn't fit. Any other player would have sulked and left or gone on loan, but he stuck to it and is reaping his rewards. Getting plenty of game time now, scoring goals, always having a positive attitude. There are obvious footballing reasons why he is a substitute, but besides that I really like how he didn't jump ship at first opportunity.
