Fernando Llorente

"Insúa is a European Union citizen due to one of his grandparents being a Spanish citizen. He is 1/6 Basque.[2]" Says Wikipedia.

No idea if it's true tough, the source is obviously unreliable

As I said to Ingo on msn, the source in question does not mention anything about him being Basque, I think there's a bigger chance that someone from here just wrote it then it actually being true

Also, I did check wikipedia before posting here and I'm pretty sure I'd have seen it if it was already there.

Thought I would just mention his full name is, Fernando Llorente Torres

Need to backtrack a few postings mate.  We know!
ALSO KNOWN AS FERNANDO TORRES 2.0 
Would rather two Torres than two Coles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two Nando Torres's would probably make me burst my balls in jizz-tastic excitement

My bad, this rumour has got me rather excited must have missed it

Probably just lies, but I'd jizz myself if we get this lad!  I've been keen on him for a while, and I think he could really bring a new dimension to our attack.  He'd be like Crouch was for us, but a better finisher IMO.

@mfowen91
Just had a look on the AS website and there's nothing about the Llorente a deal there. Consider it a rumour for now.

@mfowen91
Nothing on the Marca website, either. Going to delete the Tweet as it seems to be false. Sorry everyone.

Oh well, it was sweet for awhile.

Was too good to be true?  That's ruined my sleep for the night.

This is from Wiki (don't worry I know it's almost definitely bollocks):

'On 29th August 2010, Bilbao accepted a €11m bid from Liverpool F.C for Llorente, and that he would join the English club later this week subject to a medical.'

Well, we can still hope, just because nothing's reported doesn't mean nothings happening

Not good from Twitter:

RT@rbuxton_LFC Just to clarify, there are NO reports from Spain re #LFC approach for Athletic Bilbao's Llorente.

Llorente is dope, if we did manage to sign him i would be way more confident this year.

Don't think there's any truth in this. But out of all strikers we've recently been linked with, I'd like this guy most.

Llorente would definitely be great. Doesn't look like it'd happen, no reliable source on the rumour. But please Roy, no Carlton Cole, please!

Would be a great signing. He'd offer something different to what we've got. Physically he's a menace.

Much, much better than Carlton Cole.

sounds good. i know its just a rumour but pleeeeeeeeeeeeaseee that would be amazing! him or mario gomez!!

This lad is light years ahead of Cole, would be happy with this signing rather than being disgusted if we sign Cole.

Absolute fabrication of a story.

Absolute fabrication of a story.

Ya, TIA have an article on their website stating that the story is a fabrication.

Probably a load of sh*te this story. Unfortunately.

Hopefully we're proved massively wrong but I'm certainly not holding me breath.

Appears rumours of Torres 2.0s arrival are originally from a dubious source and spread via lazy journalism.
Nothing new there then

Darn.

Knew it sounded to good to be true. Llorente is the shiz.

With you on that. Sky Sports News were outside Melwood earlier talking about either Llorente or Carlton Cole. The latter ain't going away, unfortunately.
