You might be in for a surprise. He's decent when he has team-mates closer to him and Sevilla will have plenty of games where they dominate. Also, its harsh to judge him based on a season with a team which at point was flirting with relegation. I have high hopes for him this season, having seem him perform for Torino.
La Liga - 2015/2016
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Hopefully you are right,I'd like to see a good Sevilla this year,he looks a good guy that was a bit sad in Germany.Maybe I created a wrong image about him,someone unruly,with sloth.Anyway I am awful with predictions
@carvajal : for me, team to look for is Sociedad. Sociedad, well let's see if Moyes can pull the stuff he usually did at Everton, around the positions for an Europa ticket. Team to feel negative probably is Valencia, very possibly turn into a circus with the hand of Jorge Mendes from the boardroom to the technical bench to players. Also, I'm sorry it's not the right day to say, but Phil Nev as assistant, well, hardly gives confidence
He can't be that bad, scoring 30 goals in Serie A is difficult.
Simeone will be under pressure this season to play a more attractive brand of football though with the players he now has at his disposal.
If Sevilla play to their true potential i can see Valencia dropping out of top 4.
Neymar's out of action for a couple of weeks so he'll miss the Supercopas (European and Spanish). I think they said he's got mumps - in which case I wouldn't be surprised if he actually can't train for the next two weeks, that could mean he'll miss the Liga opener as well.
Again raises the question of why Barca would want to sell Pedro this month. Maybe when Turan is on option, but not now.
I'll throw in Juan Munoz at Sevilla for a player to watch. 19 years old forward, has played a lot in their pre season and scored 3 goals, joint highest alongside Vitolo.
No way. Valencia is back to stay in top 4.
Valencia still has a stronger squad than Sevilla. Debatable though.
I don't think it rules out a move for Pedro this month - it might push it back to deadline week though.
Debatable i guess. Makes for an interesting debate though.
Valencia finished 3 points ahead of Sevilla last season. They had to win their last game to finish top 4. Since then they haven't improved their first team and are only weaker due to the injury to Alves. For Sevilla it depends on whether Immobile or Gameiro can fill the void left by Bacca because they seem to be stronger than last season following a great transfer window. There is a lot of unknowns though as Valencia have a young squad who will be expected to get better every season. For Sevilla there are new players that may need some time to get going.
Real Betis with some interesting, if perhaps risky, signings this season. Van der Vaart, Portillo from Málaga, Pezzella from River, Didier Digard of OGC Nice, Westermann from HSV and Juan Manuel Vargas of Fiorentina.
Some other more low-key, yet interesting transfers in Spain so far,
Moi Gómez, Vergini and Víctor Rodríguez to Getafe (all on loan though)
Andrés Fernández and the fearsomely nicknamed Nico "el Conejo" López (if you see his mug, you'll get it
) to Granada
Fede Cartabia (loan) and Cani to Depor
Jonathas to La Real
Ebert to Rayo
Borja Bastón to Eibar (canterano from Atléti who scored 23 goals on loan to Zaragoza in Segunda last season)
Sergio Araujo to Las Palmas (they had him on loan last season and have now bought him; also scored 23 goals in Segunda)
Toni Sanabria (loan) to Sporting

Jonathas is a steal. Surprised more clubs weren't after him. Moyesie will be delighted.
Aye. With Vietto, Martinez and Griezmann they could play very good football. I am particularly interested in Vietto, seen him a few times for Villarreal and he could be a star.
Supercopa 1st leg: Athletic 4-0 Barcelona
2-0 to Bilbao in the 1st leg
Pedro hit the crossbar moments ago

Finally Barcelona is losing something , a shame that they have to play in Camp Nou
, a shame that they have to play in Camp Nou Great header tbh.
Can't decide if I love or loathe that Barca shirt.
Aduriz 2-0
The 1-0 by San José was a beauty. From the centre circle straight over Ter Stegen who had come out to head a ball clear.
Why does Sergi Roberto play for them ? He seems like such a passenger.
Barca
I like them but...

And another! Still wouldn't bet against Barca in the 2nd leg.

3-0.
Pedro get outta there.

I always liked Bilbao after they hammered us a few years ago.
Athletic Club have been dominating right throughout the game. Only Barça chances came thru Pedro and Messi, a great fk. that Iraizoz pulled an excellent save on and another shot that he managed to turn around the post. And Pedro a shot whacked against he underside of the bar.
7 goals conceded by Barca in two matches.
3-0 Aduriz again
Aduriz gets better with the years, Tres Stegen
Just tuned in
