The injury to Badé is not too serious, two weeks though. There we go again with a depleted defence. It’s a good job we have Mr Reliable Marcáo to fill in.

Even more serious than I thought.
To anyone who don’t understand this salary cap, in my limited & simplified understanding,
contract signed before this salary cap is not affected, but all new contract must follow this limit.
It’s 1000% on Monchi (& Castro, not sure about Del Nido Jr), he (they) ruined us. Giving big salary contract to crap or old player & trainer, few years in row.

Definitely concerning, but is largely just part of the same trend. Financially overextended and short on cash. And underperforming on revenue/net income. But I wouldn’t over extrapolate this to mean that the finances of the club are crashing, just that it’s clear that we need to be headed downwards and not upwards in salary expenditurea. Which we’ve been doing quite successfully this window.
So let’s not wet the bed. If we were continuing to spend like drunken sailors and had these numbers appear…that would be reason for concern. As is…the numbers are what you’d expect in our circumstances and the club is doing exactly what one needs to do when you’re short on revenue and long on expenses… tighten the belt back into alignment with where we are as a club: a middle of the table, no Europe club. A year or two of success as a middle of the table club and we’ll get a big glut of revenue and be able to loosen the belt a bit.

While it seems legitimate that the Liga aparatus manage the financial excess of whatever club, is this just another way of managing the final outcome of la liga, it’s a rhetorical question.
Is it possible that Sevilla FC are flush with cash? The president is quoted as saying that the club has €128m in the bank.
he was probably confused with our teams market value

He got his personal accounts mixed up.

Perhaps his account app was still set on Pesetas

This is the worst rated team for Sevilla since I started playing Fifa in 2009ish.

Confirmed by facts: Suso is our best player, followed by Gudelj!
Fortunately, scouting isn’t done with the data from video games. Fingers crossed that some of our cheap buys turn out to better than their “76” ratings.

Anyone else think Pimienta should go the Quique route and play with 3 CBs? It’s the same bunch as last year (minus Ramos), so it’s not like they’ll magically learn to defend better in a duo. Also add the fact that Nyland has started the season like Dmitrovic, and we need all the protection we can get. Carmona & Montiel could also make up the numbers.
In a sense, he’s kinda halfway there with Carmona at RB, who often stays back and tucks inside as a 3rd CB when in possession. We just have to defend this way as well, and bring in a wingback in Navas, Juanlu, or Montiel. Any combo of 3 midfielders isn’t functional anyway, so we may as well use that player elsewhere.
It’s no surprise there’s reports that Pimienta is already on thin nice, and that a bad result in El Gran Derbi will (and should) be a nail in the coffin. But in the eternal ‘Philosopher vs Pragmatist’ argument, he leans more on the former, and will likely stick to his guns. When neither results or performances are looking, something gotta give. Drop this damn 4-3-3 already!
No. Becase it doesn’t matter how big the chain is, it only needs one weak link and Salas is a leaky link. And because we only have one central defender of any guarantee. I can’t say I understand exactly what Flores did, some hybrid formula to keep the defeats to a minimum.

Good news.The injury to Isaac turns out to be only a slight ankle sprain, he will be out of action for 2 weeks at most.
Bad news. Sow will be missing for over a month with a hamstring injury.

Fenerbahçe already complain about YEN signing. He has been missing clear cut chances all over the place. He is seen to be overweight, making Fenerbahçe fans question the record fee paid for him.
He has only scored one goal so far in 6 league matches, and seems to lose his self confidence in even easiest of goal scoring opportunities.
I know he has the quality but his career in Turkey did not start well…

Maybe we could tempt him back?
I’d have him.

YEN to return on loan in January? I can already see the Fabrizio tweet…

He’s played 227 minutes making two starts out of 6 in the league. His shots-on-target percentage and shots per 90 are the highest of his career at 53% and 5.95 respectively, but he’s only hit the back of the net once out of 15 shots which ties his lowest shots per goal of his career.
Hope he finds the back of the net more often soon.
