Unnamed Trialist Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, InglewoodJack said: I think I accidentally checked their English twitter page which only had last match’s sheet. I went back and looked on the twitter because I was not sure what no he was wearing--but see he stays with #17, the designated number for Canadians in Spain. Granada has a very full roster with coverage in all positions (last year, especially, they suffered at CB and DM). And they have brought up some good kids from their u-19s and B team. They may still end up selling or loaning out a few guys (Boye), but as they sit they are ready to go, there is competition in all positions, the team looks sprite and positive, I sense a good vibe.

DeRo_Is_King Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 6 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: He looked fine. Played down the right mid/attack, took opposite side corners. They tied it late when he was on. Same pitch our women played the preps for the Olympics. Watched it on 2x. Pretty uninvolved, but it was garbage minutes. Too small a sample size. Nice to see him on the field for the equalizer. He was positioned well to clean up had his teammate not gotten a head to it. That was a terrific header, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put the speed back to normal when he's on the ball? Canuckia and DeRo_Is_King 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Came on in the 72' in a friendly away to Sevilla. Was 2-0 against and so it ended. DeRo_Is_King, costarg, narduch and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Played the second half in an attacking 3 in a friendly vs. Al Nassr, played last Sunday in southern Spain. They won 1-0 on a 1st half goal, then their keeper stopped a penalty. Tomorrow the 8th they play their last pre-season friendly in their home stadium vs. Al Wehda. The league starts next midweek, on the 15th which is a national holiday. WestHamCanadianinOxford, narduch, Canuckia and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Played the second half today vs. Al Wehda from Mecca, 1-1 draw and they won on penalties. No report names the penalty takers, but one paper says that Granada could not get a winner 2nd half despite the drive and impetus from Corbeanu and Weissman (the Israeli striker who is back from loan to Serie A). Very nice pic of Theo leading the story on the Granada CF website: https://www.granadacf.es/noticias/el-granada-cf-campeon-del-trofeo-ciudad-de-granada-en-penaltis-1-1 CanadaFan123, Kadenge, johnyb and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) They play the inaugural match in Spanish 2nd tomorrow, home to Albacete. Corbeanu is healthy as is most of the roster. Granada has the second highest roster value in 2nd, and the top three are the 3 that relegated last year, along with Cadiz and Almería. I predict that any of the top 10-12 in value and prestige could promote, they'll be in a tight race probably until the final month to even make the promotion playoff. I rewatched part of the stream of their last friendly vs. the Saudi team, he had a couple of late long shots, one right foot, then the left, had some nice runs as a wing down the right and had to be fouled, the commentators liked his two-footed skill and speed, called him one of the positive points of the game.

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 He just came on m 63, attacking wing… it's 1-2 they're losing at home. Kadenge, johnyb, narduch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Lost by that score despite 65% possession, 21 total shots and the rival keeper stopping 9. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Well, at least he came on the 63rd minute rather than the age old story in this thread of him subbing on at injury time where he manages one touch. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I would still hope that Theo could pin down a starting spot in the Segunda. La Liga obviously seemed like a bridge too far last season but it would be good to see him become a consistent starter at this level. lowlander, Corazon and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 They just picked up a 19 year old Spanish striker, Siren Diao, from Atalanta on loan. Could mean more competition, or else they wanted to get him before selling or loaning out one of the many strikers they have on the roster, like Boyé.

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Didn't get on as Granada beat Racing Ferrol 0-1. Granada does have a deep squad and, as I have said, I think they'll promote directly, or playoff for sure. Making his minutes even in 2nd hard to find, he'll have to work hard. johnyb and ahmedou 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Stayed on the bench as Granada lost to visiting Huesca 1-3. Reports say there were reffing errors, but also rate the entire Granada squad low. Hopefully as they try to shake things up they'll choose him more. Borjans Sweatpants, costarg, ahmedou and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago He came on m 64 home to Deportivo de La Coruña, finally back in 2nd, was 1-1 and it stayed that way. Didn't watch. ahmedou and dyslexic nam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Rated 7.1 on FotMob which is good for a substitute (it’s higher than any other sub rating for either team) so hopefully he impressed the coach.
