Fellow sevillistas, am I right in interpreting that we’re finally getting EXCITED?
I’m pumped for the season to start. Hopefully we can get this thread to a thousand posts by Friday.

Agreed, well said. My feelings on Rafa Mir are well known here, but I will admit that lately YEN doesn’t look much better up front. Assuming we don’t bring in anyone new, I’m hoping that a much stronger midfield this season will give both of those guys a chance to build their confidence back, and perhaps we are even lucky enough to dream of them competing for playing time on the basis of both knocking in goals/90 more in line with a “professional striker”. We can always hope.

haha made me laugh too, but also cry a little.
Lewandowski’s goal from today. Much tighter angle than YEN yesterday and nailed it. Granted he did the hard work first and beat the keeper to pull him out of the equation which YEN just can’t do.

The only problem with this is how slow we would be. Ain’t no counterattacking possible there unless the professional striker was Gameiro 10 years ago.
I mean, we wouldn’t be any slower than last year…
which was a problem

A pacy striker and Tecatito would do the trick.

Eric Bailly still an option, rumored to be close to signing with us.

Rumors are that both Bailly and Nelsson operations are advanced. Possible we are acquiring both. Especially as Gudelj has received an offer to leave.
How would we feel with CB group of Rekik/Marcao/Bailly/Nelsson?

I’d be happy. Telles would be an option at CB as well as he played there most of last season.

They’re all at a similar level so it’s good. I’d expect Rekik to be a starter for a while once the others pick up pace - but Rekik of all others has the experience in the Lope system and is the most match fit, so that’s good too.
If Gudelj leaves then we definitely need a new DM. Otherwise it will be a fresh out of injury 35 year-old Fernando and Delaney… not enough.
A new striker and we’re good to go.

I get the feeling that Monchi has pulled it off again folks. The guy is a living legend!

That’s why I’m never too worried when we lose key players or are initially slow with transfers, as you can always guarantee Monchi has a plan.
The man is a genius and has been key to our success over many years.

Still much work to do so let’s wait and see, 3 weeks to go until the end of the transfer window.

Sure it will all come together. My perspective has totally changed with the signing of Isco and confident that everything else will fall in place in the coming weeks with the remaining positions we need.
The man knows what he’s doing. Patience is needed.

Yeah in Monchi we trust. The guy knew Kounde and Carlos were going ages ago and he knows how to stay ahead of the game. He always has irons in the fire and stays a step ahead. He would make a great chess player haha.
As @ShendM said though we still have work to do and gaps to fill but it’s looking very promising.
