La Liga is such a dead league this year, that I just don't care. Maybe I should check what's happening at the bottom. Probably some exciting stuff.

It's confirmed. O.o, thought had faith in Adan seeing he's started him over Iker.

Anelka to sign for Juve until the end of the season..

Not the exact player they need, but surely he's better than their current strikers. Hopefully he performs well. I've always liked him as a player.

We (Juventus) signed Llorente as well!

Juve signing Llorente is exactly what they needed. Their team is pretty complete, all they needed was that top striker and now they've got him. I can see them really pushing for the Champions League over the next few seasons.

Llorente doesn't join until next season though (pre-contract deal).

[AlienBountyHunter]

Waiting until the summer to join is probably the best thing they could do. Llorente has just been sitting on the bench for Bilbao all season, sometimes coming on but not making much impact because he's not match fit.

If he joined now, he'd be very sluggish and slow to get off the mark. But with a full pre-season behind him, I expect him to do very well.

Edit: Argh, double post sorry.

He will not join you guys this window. Think Anelka is a good stop-gap striker till the end of the season if he stays fit.

Pretty sure he's facing other issues apart from match fitness issues. Probably a rift with the club or something. I remember he wanted to leave in August but the club refused to let him go.

Yeah, the reason they've kept him on the bench is because the club is pissed that he wants to leave, so it's a sort of punishment I guess. They already bought in Aduriz in the summer as his replacement, thinking Llorente was going to Juve back then.

Juve lacking any cutting edge tonight.

I reckon Madrid will miss their first choice centre backs dearly.

On Wednesday, hope we win this one
