Most Juve fans would be quite alright with Llortente leaving.
So...what could Van Troll's Surprise be!? | LVG: "not a striker - it's something else"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Do you know how many strikers they've got? Zaza, dybala, morata, madzukic, llorente.
They could afford to let llorente go
..down a mineshaft!
Greizmann would be perfect. Proper LVG signing, not linked with him, scores goals of all kinds, very versatile, cost less than muller. It's him, I guarantee
Don't do this to me you put me in full on muppet mode. I would love griezmann he's the right age and the correct profile of player we should be after. I'd actually much prefer him to Di Maria if I'm honest so I'm praying your theory is correct.
Edit: sorted blasted phone
Your lucky you edited before I could see it haha I guess it was something you didn't mean to put, I know what you mean I type on iPad and it comes out with some real stupid words I didn't want, sorry for putting you in Muppet mode though if it helps I'm fully on it with you.
Fergie time at worst..
Llorente kind of makes sense when you consider he'd offer something different to our current forwards and he would be happy with a squad role. Also he's better than Falcao.
He was quite a beast at Bilbao though, bad move in hindsight it seems.
I'd like to see it based on his Bilbao days, but another gamble after El Tigre...probably not
What feckwit put bendtner in that list
You mean goals?
How do we know this?
This time last year we all presumed Falcao was the dogs bollox. He may have been coming back from injury, but it's not like Llorente is red hot... 32 goals from 126 appearances in the last 3 seasons?
I just enjoyed an entire season of watching Falcao, well at least when I wasn't rolling my eyes or crying everytime he touched the ball.
They have Mandzukic and Morata. Khedira for Vidal...
I'm presuming not... his strike rate over the last few seasons is well below Rooney or Hernandez, and round about that of Wilson.
His shitness is no guaranty of any other player's quality though.
No, but when you consider a garden gnome would have been better than Falcao last season...His shitness is no guaranty of any other player's quality though.
I've heard rumours that it's Hulk... the rumours are obviously from the devil sheep outside my window.

There might be some unsolvable problems with Schweinsteiger...
But he is no van Gaal player
It's kind of funny when anyone mentions ibrahimovic here that people start saying how zlatan & LVG are like a mongoose & a cobra. It's exactly why it would be yhe biggest suprise of them all.
Please not Llorente. I'd start Wilson ahead of Llorente.
They also bought Zaza.
To be fair every other striker that Juve have is better than Llorente
Did LvG specifically say that he intends to 'sign' another striker, or there would just be another 'surprise' name that could be lined up as a striker for next season? Might just be another player from current squad that would be deployed as striker, for example like how Januzaj was deployed more centrally in the last friendly?
Then again, it is interesting how LvG is being blatantly obvious in his strategy to make all the journalists scatter around to probably randomly named their "targets" soon after that. An obvious smokescreen? Or just him being cheeky?

I'd go a little bit mental if it was Lewandowski. How great would that be.
We don't need somewhat of a backup striker, as I have interpreted some people talk about here. We have Hernandez, which IMO is not good enough to be a regulal here but it still seems a bit pointless to replace him with something just a little bit better.
If we've going to splash out on a striker, lets splash out for a top, top man. No chances, no Falcao's or players that were better in their previous clubs than they are in their current etc. Too risky.
No Djemba-Djemba or Bellion-purchases please. Especially now that we don't have a manager who can motivate decent players to play like world stars.

Balotelli.
I think it is Fellaini.
Morata
You going to activate his buyback clause and use him in the De Gea deal?
Woody would be an absolute genius if he could pull that one off.You going to activate his buyback clause and use him in the De Gea deal?
I am not sure if Juventus can sell the player while the buyback clause is still valid (I think that the 2 first years). I think that would be a very good option and since Juventus has bought Dybala and Mandzukic maybe they would be willing to sell
Morata would be excellent. Young too. But lets please be realistic!
I can't help be be unrealistic. I'd love Ashley Young to be the surprise striker.
Do like you did with Negredo when you sold him to Sevilla. Exercise the buyback and immediately sell him to us
LVG: "Not a striker...something else"
I would suggest a thread title change to 'player' rather than Striker.
I still think it is a striker though. We need to throw the media off.

I think maybe he has realized that our media took striker to mean center forward as opposed to how he sees all 3 in the front 3 as strikers.
LVG is trolling the media.
De Gea signing a new contract? Ronaldo coming home? Pedro?
