Unnamed Trialist Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) He's on the bench for the season closer this evening at Girona. I had planned to go but since I saw he was not playing lately, decided to pass on the trip up. A bit contradictory from the coach Sandoval, who said yesterday he'd take u-19s and 2nd team players and give them minutes, but the line-up for tonight has a lot of the regulars they have failed with since January. The team also has 5-6 injuries and even then Theo is not playing. He has not made a decent case for himself these last months.

InglewoodJack Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Granada getting pounded 5-0, all 5 subs on, no Corbeanu. I think I hate Granada more than any other team we have players with. What a trash club Borjans Sweatpants and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he'd promised he'd play academy kids today. Sorry but Theo has to do more in training and when he plays to merit minutes. I'm a bit worried. I also hope he gets his Spanish up during the offseason because if he doesn't he's a fool. Brethers8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Hadn't seen this: they're going to change coaches for next season, Sandoval is out. Was announced today. I think it's fine for Theo to walk in with a new coach day one of preseason and start anew. narduch, GasPed, Obinna and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an interview when he first joined where he was speaking pretty good Spanish (for someone who JUST arrived in Spain). Admittedly, I could not suss out any fine details he may have been lacking, as I am not really conversational (let alone fluent) like yourself. Are you saying now that his Spanish is a factor holding him back? Edit - to add....let's put things in perspective with Theo....he's a 22 year old attacker who was purpetually on loan from Wolves....a very average EPL club......and in all of those loans he was inconsistent.....aside from the last one.....playing with a Grasshopper side that struggled. I think he's done well to even get 9 games with a relegated La Liga side. Now he hopefully gets a full season of playing regularly in La Liga 2, a level which we can realistically expect him to start games....if not shine in them.

dyslexic nam Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I always thought this was an extremely ambitious move for him. It isn’t surprising that he didn’t get much time in La Liga - even if for a relegation team. If he can get some serious minutes on the segunda next season this will still have been a solid move for him. johnyb, NVsoccer, Canuckia and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than the few minutes. I don't know. If the coach was rotating and he's not in the rotation it's a poor sign. Then his both starts he was subbed off at the half. That usually means something is wrong. If he was executing they wouldn't do it as it's unusual. This is why I believe he should work on his Spanish and assimilate into the group asap. @Obinna where did you see him speaking Spanish? When they changed the coach I watched a long clip of training and he didn't seem to understand him. Edited May 24 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they changed the coach I watched a long clip of training and he didn't seem to understand him. Now looking back, it's a shorter soundbite than I remembered, and anyone who speaks a Romance language (like him) could probably practice saying that and do decently with the pronouncation. In retrospect, we probably we shouldn't assume his Spanish is great just based on that alone. Not saying it isn't - I don't know. johnyb and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, his Spanish sounds good in that video. So if the language is not a problem, I hope he can work out the rest over the preseason.

Unnamed Trialist Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Granada end up last in the league, after Almería run up the score on Cádiz 6-1 this afternoon, the other relegated teams. So they are even on points but head to head they lose out and are last. Very poor season. Most of the year those really watching were saying that Almería, which had not won a match, was the best worst team in the top leagues. Truth is they competed well. Granada had defending, especially, that was really second tier and did not give themselves a chance in so many games. They are rumouring for the coaching job Guille Abascal, a 35-year-old coach who was at Spartak Moscow recently, and I think was an assistant at Basel when Liam Millar was there, also head coached Lugano and was the youngest head coach of the top 30 leagues in Europe. The Swiss connection sounds like it could be a good fit for Theo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it appears he's going to end up in Segunda -- a shame. He really does need to make the most of that experience now.

But if you mean MLS should have been looking at guys like that before they went to Girona, sure. As long as a player feels going to MLS isn't a dead end, that they can still go back to Europe, then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segunda is a decent level for a player that has yet to establish himself as a starter for any team.

Segunda is very competitive, I'd say more than Championship this year and many, but they should be one of 6-7 promotion candidates.
