I see what U mean. Who is Sevilla going to buy? Have they found any replacements?
Btw I liked Madrid a lot, really nice calm city imo.
Banega's replacement is most likely going to be Kranevitter, on loan from Atlético. So far they've made 2 interesting signings: Sarabia and Kiyotake. As of now they are most heavily linked with Praet (atm Anderlecht is asking for a lot of money, so Sevilla might just sign him as a free agent next year), Lucas Pérez (scored many goals for Deportivo last season), Jozabed (Rayo's best player), Roque Mesa (quality midfielder from Las Palmas and one of the main reasons the team performed so well during the second half of the season) and Ganso.
Sevilla generally just buys "no-marks", who turn out to be great and are sold for a lot more than they costed. It's a shame they aren't going for big names... I mean, theif philosophy is great, but signing a star would give them that much more pulling power. Maybe it's due to their underwhelming experience last year when they signed Llorente, Cerci and Knoplyanka and they all flopped. But still...
Glad you enjoyed Madrid. It's not so calm during the other seasons though

Love the signing for Inter, Banega doesn't seem like the most motivated player though in terms of Sevilla being in the Champions League and Inter not being
Well, he's definitely quality. If he adapts to Serie A, he can surely help Inter step up. And yeah, the motivation bit is a bit underwhelming. He did make the decision way before Sevilla qualified for the CL though.
