When they added Torres to the squad, I assumed as much. Time for Spain to unleash The Lion King!

England has talent, but never show up. Can not seem to find coaching, Germany has a dedicated NT coach in Lowe, it helps IMO. Agree with someone who said Poland is one to watch, they play hard and can score, group not that hard. France is another team like England, talent, but never seems to get it together, have seen a number of matches and they play down to opponents.

I'm referring to Llorente, and that's his actual nickname. I'm a HUGE Llorente fan.

Same here, love his game. You think he ends up at Man City?

I really hope not. I like him and he deserves to play every week. I think he'd fit marvelously as the central forward at Barca or Juve. His footwork is spectacular and he's a phenomenal passer. Plus, he'd add an actual in box threat w his height. IMO, he'd be a seemless fit there w Messi and Alexis on the wings. Play Iniesta and Fabregas in central MF as Xavi gets older.

You're right about him being a perfect fit for Barca.

Four games for the red, four games for kicking Aguero, four games for the potential Kompany headbutt.

Hopefully, EPL squads will phase him out. What a clown.

My 2 cents:
Sham..................How many game suspension for the incidents that he was responding to with the elbow???????????
Prem seems to "pile on" the game suspensions for politically incorrect players and look the other way to others!

Do you mean what Tevez did? I'm not quite sure how you can argue against a lengthy suspension for Barton. At the very least, 8 games, if not the 12 that he got.

Yes.In my opinion Tevez deserves a suspension also.
Barton deserves a suspension. Maybe 4-6 games. Knee attack basically same offense as Terry in the Champions league. What length of suspension did Terry get??

The red card earned him 4 games.
It's hard to suspend Tevez based on the only angle (behind) that I've seen. It could be argued that he was aggressively trying to get position on Barton.
Barton's knee was worse than Terry's. Not only does it look worse on replay, but the way he went about it post-game. Barton didn't even appeal those two 4 game bans. He appealed the third 4 game ban (attempted head butt).
Terry may still have more games added to his suspension, and if he does they will apply to next season's UEFA leagues.
