Did I read Sevilla signed 10 new players this summer?

So from that we have Ocampos who never really did much at Marseille or Monaco, is that Oliver Torres who seemed to stall at Porto, don't know much of their defence although Reguillon played a bit for Real Madrid last season.

Interesting to see how they all got on but think top 4 is optimistic this season.

Kounde, Diego Carlos, Jordan and Regulion are going to be fine.
Fernando and Gudelj are what they are. Experienced guys, who hopefully can do a job. Fernando more so than Gudelj.
Rony Lopes, Ocampos, Luuk the Jong and Oliver Torres are wild-cards. All 4 are players, that didn't really live up to what they promised at some point in their career. Sevilla has been a good clubs for these kind of players, but I am fairly realistic about them. Hopefully at least 1-2 can have a positive impact.
Lopetegui doesn't seem to fancy Dabbur at all. Thats just bad business/planning.
Brian Gil (youth product) should also get a lot of minutes this season.

Major change was important and overall I am okay with the new players. Sadly there is a still a lot of dead-wood at the club, that nobody wants. Sevilla finished only once as 4th in the last 9 season. I don't think one can really expect a top4 finish.

Lot of pace in Atletico attack, Morata looks sharp. Defenders roughing up Felix a bit.

im also tuning in to see how he does. Didnt think he was worth the fee given how unproven he is.
I didn't see much of him for Benfica so didn't have any idea but of what we have seen so far in preseason he has been amazing.

At least VAR being consistent, really similar red to Modric, guess ref felt he "did him" standing on his foot / ankle.

Weird one, without VAR that's never a red. In slow motion that is a bad challenge though.

Never seen, in my life a year where pre season has ever been taken this seriously.

I said he has looked great in preseason. You don't have to take preseason seriously to judge him so far. It's a fact that he has been great so far.
