Various media reports we've reduced our demands to allow deal to complete pre deadline day. If true we're happy to accommodate sales, but always offer way below demands for buying players. Not sure if it's plan for big profits or Huw being as crap at poker style negotiations as he is as DOF. |  | | |  |

This deal unfortunately simply had to happen, he did a job for us last season and he should go with our blessing. Keeping him made no sense at all for a club like us when the length of his contract is measured in months. Bony will almost certainly be the replacement and will be a pretty nice result. |  |

He's a good player, but to be honest I always thought that the figures quoted were on the high side and unrealistic. I seem to recall reading £15m, £20m and then £30m being bandied about which is a hell of a lot of money for a player who is 33 next February and in the last year of his contract.
If SC was a big rich club, they could dig in and wait, but it looks like they need money coming in to be able to fund purchases (not sure where the GS cash has gone though!) and time is running out. |  | | |

Well if the GS money has not come through then the alleged Llorente money will certainly not arrive in time.
If this deal goes through we are right royally effed. It will take time to get Llorente up to speed. Even longer, if ever, to get Bony there.
I am certainly a glass empty bloke at the mo. I can see Llorente going and not signing Bony thereby trousering the cash. After all Tammy and Jordan looked good at Palace........ |  |

Its about a long term plan. No good staying up this year if as a resukt you dont have the resources to compete the year after.
A third of the Gylfi money has gone and the other two thirds I would assume is earmarked elsewhere, including a pot for January. If Llorente stays and then leaves next year on a free. Tammy also goes back to Chelsea we are in a position where we have Ollie McBurnie up-front and not much money to get a quality striker in with (a position getting increasingly expensive).
It makes much more sense to essentiall stop that from happening by swapping him for Bony and putting Bony on a contract measured in years rather than months in Llorente's case.
It is a far greater risk to our PL lifecycle to keep him. | |

I think it's something to do with the track record of the club you support. |  | | |

There are not many 15 goal EPL strikers floating around at sub £25 m prices. Okay. Llorente is on a short contract, but this seems a crazy deal to me. The optimists think somebody who managed 2 goals last season is going to fill the void and hit the ground running. I'm losing faith by the day. | | | |

How many goals did Llorente score with his head? |  |

And the official website will announce he's signed an hour after the deal falls through. |  |

Seconded. This transfer window so far has a distinct whiff of boosting the balance sheet for a sale in the not too distant future. Hopefully that whiff has disappeared by Friday morning. |  |

Same here. I don't think Bony is good enough to replace Llorente. Surely, we can find a better replacement? |  |

Its either Bony this year to replace him, or a free transfer next year to repace him. A genuine free transfer too not an Ayew or Gomis £17m "free transfer". I know what I woukd be picking.
...Unless of course we break the back of the side and sell someone like Mawson and get a cheaper defender to replace him and use the rest (probably still around £15m) to bring in a striker. But we will essentially be in the same position as we face now, but with a downgraded defence to boot. | |

Bony coming in, always depending on Llorente going out, whether that's the correct decision, only time will tell, me I'd take the gamble seeing Llorente could sign pre contract in January with somebody else |  |

Good grief it is obvious even Bony doesn't want come back here, if he wanted first team football he'd be back like a shot. He is on a fantastic wedge at Citeh and he knows Huw being the tightwad he is will offer the minimum in wages. We have form for this kind of balls up and it will happen again, we'll sell Llorente at 11:59 pm on Thursday night and fail to get any sort of replacement in. |  |

Yup. Huge profit on player sales and big profit from wage cuts and sky money. All smacks of rumoured exit next season based on windfall profits. What I don't get is we've delayed both Siggy and Llorente deals without increasing amounts but give no time for replacements. Do people honestly believe Bony is better than lorrente on current form? | | | |

Why not offer Llorente a new better contract, the old all singing and dancing Bony would be great, but is that old Bony still there, that's the worry. |  |

Problem is age Max .... How long is Llorente going to be able to play top flight football ?
I also have my doubts about the old Wilf coming back but I'm hoping he has some fire in his belly to prove Man City / Stoke wrong. | | | |

I think Llorente is happy to move on, I'd love him to stay longer, but Chelsea CL football is a big pull | |

The owners are happy for him to go as well no doubt, it'll mean a few more bottles of Moet next time they're over. | |
