I dont understand, why there are no talks with Isaac to renew his contract as soon as possible with exit clause 40 Mio+
I know, we need money in the summer, but he should be one of the columns 24/25.
In my opinion he would be a big loss, creates so many passes and flanks, without him N Nesyrie is lost.

Rafa Mir, Mariano, De Jong, Dolberg, Ivan Romero, Munir, Marc Gual, Carlos Fernandez, Dabbur, Chicharito
All have been moved or have played second fiddle, since his arrival in Jan 2020.

And is En-Nesyri the reason for this? or are there other reasons in play maybe?
Like de Jong wanting to return to Eindhoven. Mariano being unfit. Rafa Mir was topscorer but ruined it. Ivan Romero is 1.56m youth player. Munir was a super sub and no contender. Who is Marc Gual even, youâre pulling some nice ones out of your sock here. Dabur got kidnapped out of the squad, in a few weeks time. Very sure it was because En-Nesyri was too good. If you are putting these names seriously in there, it says enough.

Lewandowski, Morata - Agree
Dovbyk - Probably agree
Depay - somedayâs yes - averages 2.64 games/goal
Moreno - Most dayâs Yes - 2.49 games/goal
Larsen - Great young talent, still growing - 4.11 games/goal
Borja - Donât agree maybe equal levels - 3.03 games/goal
Hugo Duro - Again great young talent, but not at the same level yet. - 5.7 games/goal
Youssef En-Neysri - 2.8 games/goal with Sevilla - 3.2 games/goal career Again, no real upgrade without spending a ton of money IMO.

Iâm just calling out everyone who competed for the first striker position and couldnât knock the Moroccan off the top. I have never been a YEN fanboy, but you canât doubt his production numbersâŠespecially when the team is feeding him the ball. He canât run with the ball, we know that. We have someone paired with him that can distribute finally and you will see his numbers increase like that 18 goal season a few years back.

He wasnât even at the top, certain periods when he was here. Especially at the start, he was just sitting there with a new contract and some other strikers left, that is correct. He fought off chicharito somehow lol 
You can track all latest En Nesyri goals back to what Isaac Romero did that lead up to it. Bar that screamer last game, was the first special goal since how long. Watch it back and reassess his value and actual contribution. And look that any of the players mentioned above, offer more, a lot more.
Thinking stats have more value than your own eyes. Americanâs seem to watch this sport in a different manner I guess. Canât blame them.
Depay âsome daysâ

You are correct, stats do not tell the whole thing. We know that YEN struggles at times with the basic characteristics of a typical striker.
Iâm only saying he isnât terrible, we have had and have worse, and I think the disrespect that some give him isnât warranted.
They arenât the same type of player, so itâs hard to compare. Depay is great at things YEN sucks at and vice versa. I know you arenât a stats guy, but if you compare the twoâs records in La Liga, YEN has been the more successful individual, especially once you remove FK and PK goals.

All those players named above are different players, but they have one thing in common they are in many aspects completer footballers and strikers than Youssef.
You are literally saying you canât compare Messi and Youssef either, and one is better in the air so some days heâs better.
One thing stats do, is generalize. And make absolute different situations, appear similar in categorical numbers, compared to actuality. So why donât you generalize in comparing players and accept that, overall, in the majority of scenarios, on all aspects that surround football. Depay without a shadow of a doubt is better in the majority of those cases than En-Nesyri. But then again, tinted glasses and sporting culture are definitely different.
If you prefer stats you prefer numerical misrepresentations of oversimplified reality over the complex actuality with all its influential factors, that are not even visible or taken into account in stats.
You say you canât compare them, but then you were the same who compared Bozenik and En-Nesyri for some reason, and came to the conclusion that you donât see any problem. Well thereâs your problem.
Maybe because we were rumored with him. We are done. Enough of us going back and forth. We can agree that YEN isnât the best we have had and I certainly hope that we can agree that he isnât the worst.

You are done thatâs fine, then go back to the main point? And if you suggest there are not many players better, you obviously think heâs something of a top level striker. The main point is to get real and that wanting more than 30m for ânot the worstâ is just unrealistic and overzealous and especially with his contract you more than likely to get something like 15-20m sooner than later.
Then you can decide if you want to ignore that and sign him for 4 more years. To make your club for an even longer period dependent on an unreliable player. Thatâs what I am against. And thatâs why you look for a deal. You donât stagnate and create a new opportunity for development. Especially with the help of Isaac who helps facilitate it without a doubt. Done.

Whether we should sell YEN is one conversation. Whether we will is another, and I donât think heâll be on our squad next year.
Management has made a point of going âback to basicsâ when it comes to transfers, and selling a striker like YEN in his prime to reinvest in the squad fits that.

Would Bordalas take this job in the summer? I need a 4-4-2 regime to come back to Sevilla.

On first glance Im liking the Alex Berenguer rumours. Should be a plug in upgrade player, especially since a lot of our frontline needs to be cleaned up.
Letâs see if we succeed in signing him.

Sarri rumored as the new coach in summer?

Dude looks like he could die any moment.

That would be sensational.
Also in case he dies I imagine we still have to pay out the contract to his family. So nothing much would change with our current conduct of paying out (30+m) all our fired managers of recent past. And if not, that would be a win already.

Past month and a bit, another Name thatâs circling around the club is Mady Camara (27) from Olympiakos. Free Agent next July, so the usual story.
Good name tho.
Highly likely Soumare is out of reach and Agoumé will be hindered as well.

Anyone follow EPL enough to know why Leicester was willing to part with SoumarĂ© this season? Curious whether their starter was just THAT strong that he was going to ride the bench, or if they just didnât know how to use himâŠ
He will be missed, but then again, we also missed Pape Gueye when he left. The double edged sword of loansâŠ

Only from the reports leading up to his signing, i think he wanted out, and didnât want to play in the Championship. This was long ago when we were still a Champions League team with some pull.
This wasnât too bad of a loss since he served his 4-6 month suspension. Heâs still a free agent this summer, unless he already decided on a club. I think he could form a great tandem with Sow.
