Fernando Llorente

With Kane showing his range of ability it would be good to see LLorente in the striker role with Harry creating for and feeding off him - could be a return to the Greaves/Smith/Gilzean - Archibald/Crooks partnership days?
 
Release him. A hat trick against Tranmere doesn't change anything. But his 100K a week could go towards persuading Eriksen to stay.
Moura/Lamela can deputise for the 3 games Son is missing, if Kane gets injured.
I am sure if Real or Barca come calling Eriksen will go whatever we pay him. Money will not be the issue when it comes to his contract. Levy will make him a good financial offer.
 
I wouldn't want Moura or Lamela playing as our attacking focal point though. Son has done it many times before and has it in his locker.

If we sell Llorente we must bring in a replacement.
100% agreed. Even when Son comes back the chances are he will be tired and will need to be rotated. Llorente could end up being the striker cover so either he stays or is replaced. Neither Moura nor Lamela are focal point strikers. Llorente has shown before Spurs he can play that role.
 
Agree but this is long overdue.
Also We’ve never really tried playing them together as a plan b. Llorente with his aerial ability a few knockdowns and shake it up a bit when things aren’t working out.

Example being vs Chelsea in the cup. We looked knackered yet only gets a couple of minutes.

A possible stubborn failing of Poch regarding lack of using Llorente (or Janssen two seasons ago for that matter). It's good to try out other options and integrate other styles with the players to give us different strings to our bow.
In particular there have been games that we've had 3/4 goal leads when it's been missed opportunities not to use these other strikers and try new things.

i guess we may find out either way now...
