Team - Sevilla FC
Bringing the comments discussion from February here. Monchi made some notable mistakes in recent years (such as the replacements for Kounde and Diego Carlos) but overall had an amazing tenure at Sevilla. The club did pursue Lopetegui's squad preferences too much (though his success might be worth it). The coaching hires have been an issue-- it does not make sense to hire Sampaoli or Alonso midseason and expect to completely change the style of play. Mendilibar or Quique or Caparros (or Bordalas) are midseason hire profiles to play conservatively and salvage a result in the table. Hiring for a new season, get someone who plays an attractive style and give them time (more than half a season, especially if you brought players for them) to find success. Don't buy players for Mendi or Quique if their style won't please fans/keep them at the club for long. Would have been nice to get Arrasate-- we'll see how Garcia Pimienta does.
Going all in with Lopetegui to chase the league ended in too many older players on high wages, and that cannot be reversed in one transfer window (or two). The vision in early/mid 2010s was to evolve from a club with strong scouting and academy (mid-2000s success) to a consistent Europe buying club in the second tier like Atleti or Leipzig or Milan, and the squad construction and missing Europe for a few seasons has now altered the reality. Financial issues are forcing a step back (at least for now) to the previous model. Orta and his staff are trying to adjust the squad/model, but it seems that both the directors and fans still expect top 6 and do not want to adjust expectations for a season or two. Academy players should be developed and valued rather than sold at the first opportunity. We can point to Ajax or Porto as examples of building this, but in Spain RM and FCB try to snatch any big prospect (like Ansu) from other Spanish club academies by the time the player is 12 or 13 years old.
Orta has a big job to do, and fans are already unhappy even though he has had very limited ability to spend and maneuver so far.

He lived and played in Spain until 16 years old when he moves to an italian club, not even a dutch club.
Player - Dean Huijsen
In those cases it's the other way around.
Moroccans are of Moroccan ethnicity and lived in the Netherlands their whole life. Huijssen is of Dutch ethnicity and lived in Spain for almost his whole life.
Either way it's their choice of course

Murilo is fairly common name in Brazil. The thing here it that his parents decided to add a little extra spice and named him with two L's 😅
Player - Pau Cubarsí
I care about Spanish players which is why if he’s good enough I would like him to go eventually. I don’t want teenagers getting called up all the time because 1. Experience is extremely important in international football more than other tournaments 2. They’ll end up like Pedri where they are hurt every other game
I don’t care if they are from Barça if they’re good but the same thing does for Yamal, I don’t want to burn him out. Madrid never plays young Spaniards anymore but if they did I’d say the same thing. The biggest thing though is he’s literally only played 13 professional games. There are many Spaniards on this platform that say similar things as me
Player - Marcos Llorente
Club world cup you mean. Still, his contribution to the club cannot be compared to the likes of Di María or Ozil, who imo should represent the minimal standards for club legends
Player - Sergio Ramos
Unfortunately that badboy persona overshadowing his main qualities. He will always be picked in all time squads.
His Youtube highlights are filled with that bullshit because it gets views. Go find Roy Keane highlights and you get the same shit.

An absolute legend. Immense player, he will always be welcome at Sevilla. It really saddens me to see him go. Such a great, underrated player. I wish him the best in the future

I love the annual early year nerfing of an academy team because unsurprisingly they can't compete with seasoned pros in the 2nd tier, so clearly they have no potential.
Player - José Lara
I prefer Bryan, they are all at a similar level atm but I see much more potential in Bryan.
Right now I would say:
Bryan>Lara>Pozo
And watch out for Luismi and Zarzana, we only produce winger lately, those 2 will get to that level if not higher soon
Player - Luna
WHAT A PERV
Player - Kike Salas
Very nice goal. Contributing a lot in LB, could definitively move in that spot considering that Acuna and Pedrosa are injury prone
Player - Youssef En-Nesyri
88 heading is beyond me like wtf
He deserves 96 the best in the world
Player - Carvajal
My man is downvoted for saying the truth tf, Madrid fans really have no critical mind
Player - Carvajal
He's not top at all, im sorry. He's a very hard working RB but he's not world class at all, he is good. In fact, last year started to decline getting heavy legs in second halfs, struggling to get back on his feet to make a run to defend, and that's age, which is ok.
Ancelotti needs to make him rest, so he can still be fresh in important games. Though, he started this season very strong besides getting injury recently.

He's been called up to Spain u21 today. He's lived in Spain since he was 3 y.o. I won't say it's impossible but quite difficult imo.
Player - Fermín López
This boy is amazing since the pre-season, comes out of nowhere and perform every single time he got on the pitch. Flawless since July, impactful, he's clearly in his element in our way of play. Can't wait to see his next steps and how he's gonna react when he'll have more opportunities and responsabilities during the season and during clutch games if he does play in them
Player - Rodri
Busquets is shit, Rodri the best
Player - Rodri
Rodri es un mediocampista super completo, siendo su mayor habilidad la de estar siempre bien colocado. Es el que comienza armando las jugadas desde abajo, el que distribuye en el medio y, en esta última etapa, el que las finaliza también. Cuando digo que es completo, me refiero a que defiende bien (en españa llegó a jugar de central), tiene buena visión y pases, excelente juego aéreo (defensiva y ofensivamente), un potente remate de larga/media distancia, a la hora de regatear sabe usar bien su cuerpo (a lo riquelme), no es fácil que la pierda. Dicho todo esto, que no es poca cosa, es como si mezclaras la colocación, el pase, la visión y el regate de Busquets, con la potencia defensiva-ofensiva (cabeza, fuerza, disparo, entradas) de Casemiro.
No digo que Rodri sea mejor que ellos dos, sólo que respondiendo a tu pregunta, me pareció un buen ejemplo.
De igual manera, no hay duda que hoy en día Rodri es el mejor centrocampista defensivo del mundo, no es un 5 moderno que solo es de juego, pero tampoco un antiguo que eran sólo de corte.
