    I don’t understand Ramos sometimes. They hate him in Sevilla and now he somehow bought their club :laugh:

    On second thought maybe I do understand him

    To use a quote I've seen "a face without a voice or vote, a puppet that will be out of the picture two months into the project".

    The investment fund actually buying the club admits that they've "strategically placed Sergio Ramos at the center of the project to associate the project with a familiar face".

    It's a multi club ownership gig. Sevilla are doomed.

    Eleven Capital will be steering the ship. Ramos will be around until he realizes he gets all of the blame and has zero of the power.

    Levante beats Celta away from home and gets out of the relegation zone for now. Five teams tied on 39 points with three of them having game in hand.

    Betis beat Elche 2-1 confirming 5th CL spot ahead of Celta.

    Just looked up the Eleven Capital guys too, website is full of typos, and it's like a 10 person company buying one of the most historic clubs in football. Crazy. And does not bode well :cry:

    It's yet unclear how they plan to cover for the clubs massive amounts of debt. They've failed to get over the line with other clubs as well and they've cast a wide net trying to buy in in Spain, Cyprus, Greece, basically anywhere they see a distressed club.

    It sounds shady and I've just a found out that it looks like a Bulgarian company. Knowing most of bulgarian companies are strongly linked with corruption, I wouldn't trust it.

    Edit: I confused the company with another one. Five Eleven Capital vs Eleven Capital.

    Meh, a guy who has (checks notes) a pathetic 6 non-pk goals in La Liga, and is completely useless in the air is the "most complete striker?"

    He's a #10, or a second striker in a 2 forward system.

    There is no way we would go after Julian right? If one of Vini or Mbappe is to leave.

    Ronaldo is about 10 seconds from clinching his first title in Saudi Arabia. Al Nasr's goalkeeper Bento gave away a goal in the very last attack. It was a blooper as bad as Loris Karius. He also gave away an easy goal with an minuite away from final whistle in the Saudi Super Cup. That would also have been his first title.

    Thought the defender (Inigo) caused that by going for the ball and pushing his keeper

    Yawn, anyone can see Alvarez's poor scoring record, look at his heat map (both at Atleti & Citeh), and look at his lack of stature, and conclude that he's not a #9.

    He's a #10, or a second striker.

    He can score with both feet and his head as well as take free kicks. He comes from a club and system that has produced an endless line of great CFs, we're talking about a factory like none else.

    Diego Costa, Falcao, Aguero, Torres, Griezmann, Forlan, cases like Torres and Aguero even showed you how scalable their system is from strikers where players that are already very good for them can inflate into top 5 players in the sport type players with the improved workforce around them.

    When somebody only sees negatives in a player that is so highly regarded amongst all top coaches in the world, i just can't phrase it any other way but "you don't know ball".

    Alvarez will be a perfect fit for Enrique's system. Hope Barca can't afford him. He also has 10 goals in CL this campaign and probably will get to rest in half the Ligue 1 games.

    Massive win for Sevilla. 10th now with 43 points. But 18th placed team after this round will still have 39 points so Sevilla not yet safe from relegation.

    Espanyol beat Bilbao in San Mames 2-0 and have 42 points now.

    Sevilla is safe now. Yeah, 4 points doesn't look like much but you're never going to have 7-8 teams get 3-5 points in their remaining matches. Somebody has to lose or draw.

    But that was a massive turn around. It was looking like they were going into the penultimate round just 1 point ahead of the relegation zone. Instead they are 1 point from Europe!

    Alaves 1-0 Barca. They will be out of relegation zone with 40 points if they win tonight.

    Who cares where he came from?

    Newsflash: Strikers are supposed to score goals.

    He himself has not scored >10 non-pk goals in any big boy league. He's a good player, but not a striker.

    (As an aside, you claim he can "score with his head," you'd better check how many headed goals he has. Its, like, LOW.)

    Who's doing that?

    Yes, Alvarez hits a nice Free kick. And yes, he's a good player. But he's not a striker.

    His heat map shows that he does not spend a lot of time in the box, ya know, like a STRIKER. Which isn't "only seeing negatives," its seeing the man for what he is.

    And I'm sorry, but 6 measly non-pk league goals isn't, like, good. 8 and 9 non-pk league goals while at Citeh, isn't good, for someone who you claimed to be "the most complete striker."

    If that's him being a scorer, who "doesn't know ball?"

    Fair to say that inter have sort of established themselves at the top of Italian football overall.
