With our debt still somewhere between 90 and 180 million euros, I don’t think we can be choosy about who we keep, unfortunately. With Adams, Vargas, Oso, and Juanlu, we have the potential to get around 60 million of that 90 million debt off the books.

I hope we keep Oso. Most of the others I see as expendable. We all know this is going to be a rough season regardless of who we sign or sell.
Build around guys like Isaac and Oso.

Akor didn’t travel with the team to Poland, hence his transfer to Venezia may be imminent.
I hope so too. And he should stay further up the field like he’s been playing. Which is why i’m fine with Pedrosa staying as a backup to Suazo at LB.
Oso was the only reliable wide player in the 2nd half of last season. And he can properly cross the ball. God knows why that’s becoming a lost art.

I haven’t given up on Isaac, but his finishing man… 
We also didn’t often play to his strengths of having a strike partner. More importantly, there was little to no service to play off of. But whenever those rare chances did come, he always made a mess of it.

Isn’t anyone happy that Nianzou is already gone!?

We should be celebrating.

For Nianzou’s sake, i hope he’s able to develop into that footballer he was projected to be. It’s a shame what injuries can do to a player’s trajectory. You could see it was never going to work here. Whenever he showed a glimpse of his ability, he’d go and do something absolutely disastrous.
In an alternate timeline, you’d have already left us sooner, but for a team coming in to pay the big bucks.
Happy trails T.A.N.K.

One thing to me personally that stands out right now, great we got Vlachodimos & Pliers back for the season, but we still don’t have a second choice goalkeeper.

I hope to raise funds from other players. Agoume can leave if teams come for him, I didn’t see a whole lot of him last season but he seemed lackluster and was terrible in that home loss against Levante. Hopefully he can fetch 20m
There’s plenty of free agent goalkeepers on the market if they want one, big names from Sommer, Neto and Guaita. Even some Sevilla old boys such as Sirigu, Vaclik and Sergio Rico.

Isaacs finishing isnt that bad tbh. He is just not a Lone striker. He plays best in a 2 man attack or as a right sided attacker/ winger in a front three.
i personally love him and what he gives to the team. He works so hard for the fans on the pitch and he loves the club. Glad it looks like we keep him!

Sergio Rico. Pretty sure he has retired mate.
Wouldn’t mind Guaita off that list.
I don’t know how highly rated Alberto Flores is, but I’d potentially give him a year as the second keeper. If Vlacho is going to be the undisputed starter, there doesn’t seem a lot of sense in signing an even older GK as second choice if all it does is push Flores further from the first team. If Vlacho gets injured then sign a loan/free agent GK, but give Flores a chance.

I don’t think the club have faith in Alberto Flores. He has been in and around the main squad for about 4 years now and bar one CDR game hasn’t had a look in, and most of last season I noticed he didn’t tend to be a keeper on the bench most of last season but another youth keeper was.
I missed it. Is Nyland definitely gone? Had a very good World Cup.

Good to get him gone. Financially for us, career for him. We can sign better players and he will be the problem of Lille

Because SAT needed him terribly. They would have been even worse without him.

Read on one of the IG pages the club are close to buying Julio Diaz from At. Madrid, 20 year old left back. Probably a backup plan if Oso leaves. Any news on that btw?
I just did a search on transfermarkt and it says he’s without a club so I guess nothing official yet? If Sevilla call he might answer.
Also everyone is right on Issac, he got his breakout season by being paired with YEN, as a lone striker he can’t compete physically with center backs. If Luis Garcia wants the best version of Issac he’ll need to buy a striker to give him adequate cover.
