Look at the time when he was bought when Conte was with the Italian team. Rudgier was another one targeted by the club. But after that everything has gone through Conte, and I doubt from now on anyone will interfere. They seen what great job he is doing, so it will targets he ask for. Weather is option A, or option C it will be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llorente is not on level for at least 3 years. But I can see this deal makes sense only if we get Llorente on loan, because Conte clearly doesnt count on Bats.

Styles 9,790 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Conte spent 23m on Alonso and now wants to sign struggling strikers from the bottom placed club. Honestly, he should have no say on transfers moving forward in opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Alonso we won 13 games straight and hardly ever conceded goals. Llorente would be a backup striker - why not? He scored some goals at Swansea, he is a good player and very tall. By the way, Conte was the one who called Kanté and convinced him to join Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think the only two options are world class players or the Alonso's of this world and with absolutely nothing in between? 1 hour ago, Polo7 said: I used to think you were one of the sensible ones.....tut tut.

the wes 7,212 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Antonio Conte is keen on signing Swansea striker Fernando Llorente - and Blues striker Michy Batshuayi could be going the other way, according to Sky sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 In the same way that Torres was terrible here, yet perfectly adequate and 'good' for Atletico upon his return, plenty of 'past it' strikers (I'm looking at Falcao) can flourish once they're with different players in a different system. Llorente would bring something new to this team, which Bats does not. With or without Bats, we have all the same qualities, he doesn't bring something new to the table, but Llorente brings a controlled, aerial presence which Costa does not, which alone gets you 5 or so headed goals a season; and in a season where we rarely lose by over 1 goal, that's the difference we can benefit from. Also, since his style is similar enough to Costa's, the players around him wouldn't need to change their way of playing once he comes on. Whereas when Costa goes off at the moment, suddenly we decide our replacement striker isn't worthy enough of having the ball fed to him, and thus it goes to either Pedro or Hazard as they become the main attacking threat. For 6 months of football we could do worse than use a player that Conte's already familiar with. He's averaged 1 goal every 2.5 games in both the Premier League and Serie A. This mostly being a sub. Wanting anything more from a sub is spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Also, this loan-swap would ensure Bats plays pretty much every game until the end of the season. That is what we want. We need to see if he can kick it in the Premier League for 6 months straight. But, we aren't in a position to experiment with 1 player and his personal potential. It's a move which makes more than good sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Then again A player that cost £30m Needing a loan to Swansea to prove he's good enough Is already pretty much a lost cause. I hope we make our money back, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I really don't understand what Conte wants in terms of transfer business. Really vague. Michy for Llorente is much of a muchness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is it more embarrassing for us or for Michy that he cost more than Diego Costa and Eden Hazard yet has to go out on loan half way through his first season here? If he is to go on loan, though, I wish it were to a better club than Swansea. At least send him to a club like West Ham who can maybe take points off our rivals with Michy playing for them. He'll get shit service and be surrounded by shit players at Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
