The only way we can do that is by holding on to our stars. Good news about Gamez.

The point i was trying to make is we need to start holding on to these players if we want to challenge for the title and permanently become a big team (sorry Anthony, but we aren't on the same level as barca or the mierda.) I know that we came third last year with and injury ravaged team but we only just won a lot of games and nearly missed out on the champions league and if we were a bit unlucky we could have missed out on europe. So we need a more potent goal scoring force to become great and although financially we do not have enough i think if we sell off players we dont really need like Maresca and maybe and one of our left wingers (Capel-i know u don't like the sound of that but for adriano we wont get as much and with perotti how much playing time will he get.)So to summarise we need fabiano to score goals and keeping him will do us more good than selling him.

im not saying i dont WANT fabiano to stay. or that a big team wouldnt keep him. im saying that sevilla’s fiscal reality is that they cant afford to pass up on big sales like fabiano, dani alvez etc. if they continue to qualify for and do well in the champs league, if they nip real or barcelona next year to finish second or even challenge for the title, if they win a couple more king’s cups then these achievements will help their brand will grow. they’ll get bigger revenue streams and it’ll be more likely that they could afford to keep their best players.

so we agree. im just pointing out that as much as we might like, sevilla IS NOT a big budget team like those it manages (through prudent ownership/management) to compete with, and therefore has to be prudent with its signings and sales.

About Fabiano i dont think we can sell him because he is just too important to our team even if chevanton does decide playing football is what he wants to do and it'll be a few years before acosta matures and he isnt an all out strike and kone isnt tthe same calibre as fabiano. Therefore fabiano must stay. And Welcome Back Anthony.

a couple additions.

1) actually our first signing was this 21-year-old nigerian anya… interesting story. got dropped from the premiership and somehow got a second chance. doubt he’ll have an impact with the big club though… so its not unreasonable to have left him out. but a cool story.

2) as for selling fabiano… i agree. i dont like selling a player like that. and i look at the money being offered to guys like david villa. i mean… he’s great, and younger, but is he TWICE the player fabiano is? i hope you’re right and they hold out for 30 million.

again. welcome back! hope travels went well
