How did that work out for RM this year? 
haha just playing counter point here. I understand what you are saying, but a guy with an ego so big that he produced a video biopic series on himself doesnāt really fit into our model imo.

Honestly I thought the series was great! I love seeing the other side of the players lives. I also love that he loves Sevilla

Iād reckon at least 70-80 mil for KoundĆ©. Not everyday a young center back like him can play with such composure and skill.

I hope ā¬70-80 but Iād be pleasantly surprised. Pre covid Iād say absolutely. I think we should ask Kounde to name 2-3 teams in the EPL heād play for and then have a bidding war.

If we go for Joselu, to me its like fixing a problem with duct tape. It fits the gap in a way, but its not gonna hold well and I really dislike this in a future perspective. Why do you want a mediocre second striker without potential? It really shows lack of ambition in my mind.
Hope we set are goals differently.

Thatād also be great. Imo I think the two teams thatāll go for him are Madrid (since Ramos is nearing his end there) and City (because itās City)

Iām with Chris on Ramos, for the same reasons. Also, in recent years heās been expensive at the back, even discounting the soft refereeing.
Canāt argue with what heās done up front in big games and sure heās got the experience but Iāve got reservations about his ego and baggage.

Tier 1 from Romano. Arsenal are open to selling Torreira. Iām hearing Arsenal want ā¬25 million but unlikely anyone will pay that. This is the type of player Sevilla can turn into world class imo. Potential is there. Just needs the right situation.

Thereās no way Ramos would be welcomed back.

On Ramos, itās bittersweet. Looking at our shortcomings this season, we saw that the teamās mentality let us down in the key matches. A lot of coaches like to bring in āwinnersā to instill that in the squad. Who better for that than Ramos? But i donāt think the people of NerviĆ³n want him back, so i think thatās where it ends.
And damn, no one here likes Joselu? 
i didnāt think he was that special when he played in England, but ever since he returned to Spain heās been a decent striker. Especially that partnership w Lucas PĆ©rez. I see him as the kind of CF that will provide the hold-up play that YEN lacks. To bring in a backup striker, you canāt really go with someone whoās miles better than your starter, just give the team something different.
But Rafa Mir is a good shout too. I wouldnāt mind if we went for someone like Braithwaite, but i doubt BarƧa would do anything like that, seeing what happened w SuĆ”rez.

Completely agree with this statement I think Sevilla could rescue his career similar to how Lopeteguiās career has been resuscitated

And then he doubles downā¦
āIām already at a big club, but evidently Iād like to evolve at a bigger club. Weāll see what the future holds, but itās something that stays in my head.ā - Kounde [Telefoot]

None of this should be news to any of us. Rakitic wouldnāt have said what he did if this wasnāt all already known. Get the biggest ā¬ and buy the right guys and Sevilla will be better next year than this year. We donāt keep the next Kounde until we make ourselves so good they donāt want to leave. Donāt sweat Jules Kounde. Him leaving wonāt make or break Sevilla.

Also Edi, they ask about 15-20m for Joselu. We are really insane if we lay that down.

Just for comparison. Rafa Mir played 500 more minutes than YEN and scored 5 less goals in the league while taking 37 more shots. Yen .72 goals per game compared to Mirās .51.

Also he is playing for Huesca. So what kind of opportunities are you gonna get. You basically have to shoot on sight. Just for the heck of it.

No one in their right mind would pay AlavĆ©s that amount. Whatever we get from De Jongās transfer should be enough. Iām thinking in the 8-12m range.

20m for a 31 year old, substitute striker, whoās never scored plenty of goals and is not gonna get better. Might as well go for a 24 year old and not waste all the potential, or go for an actual proven striker like Dzeko who you probably pay less for at this point.

Yeah for a secondary substiute veteran striker, whoās not gonna be your plan A. Paying anything more than 10m is too much for the role it has to fill. Again Jorge Molina for an example. I vouch for getting one secondary striker with potential like youssef, and one with a decent record to add to the experience and change playstyle but not be the main substitute. Like Negredo or Wilfried Bony, they donāt have to cost anything.

I agree with you here. We need to look for younger players who donāt have a lot of media exposure. Buy cheap and either develop the team around them or sell for big money.
