nice little compilation. there are a few more difficult shots but my favorite is the one against livorno, i replayed that little 'double step' before he took the shot many times. tiny little detail, still loved it

Crazy to think that in those days guys like Llorente and Caceres weren't good enough to be undisputed starters

Fortunately he wasn't a starter, imo even with this current Juve, technically he was really a very average player.
He did begin the season as a starter, though. As I recall he was pushed out because of Morata's remarkable performances in Europe especially.

I remember we all really liked Llorente but Morata was unbenchable in that form.

Is he better than Zaza tho? We gave Llorente away for free and signed Simone for 18M. Llorente was still relevant up to 2019 probably, had a role to play for CL teams. As a bench option, you can do worse

Llorente had a very good 2013-14 season. 2014-15 was lesser (scored some important goals regardless), and he was noticeably in decline. But sometimes with these forwards, it's about the right team and fit. Dzeko scored like 8 goals his last season in City, and his first at Roma was average too. Later he became the best CF in the league. Giroud too looked finished but found a role on a Serie A winning Milan. Nando played well for Tottenham in their CL final run which was 3 years after we let him go for free. Mismanagement of assets
