    Ikechi (Granada CF player) will be next season in Watford!!

    He played last season in Cadiz, on loan too. We only saw him playing for Granada just for a pre-season match. We he looks really great, very fast

    I'm guessing because TV money isn't as much in Spain for a team like Granada (I'm sorry to say that and don't mean any disrespect) as it is for a lower team in the Premier League (or even Championship). So to cover that they have sponsors here there and everywhere on the kit to generate the money gap

    You think that's bad, you should see some kits in Sweden.

    I like the black kit a lot. Very smart.

    Its an ad for haemeroid cream..


    Someone mentioned Sweden above..but its the same in Norway. Most kits have 4,5,6 different sponsors and they can be anywhere on the strip.
    I believe the rule in the premier league & Football league is for one sponsor on the front of the shirt.. isnt it?

    I think your right Stevo I dont remember seeing ads on the derriere in the PL or FL Brynes kit has 4 sponsors logos I believe ( been a while since I bothered to watch them).
    Talking of logos I am glad we arent going to have the HEC logo on the shirts this season.

    You should see some of the jerseys ice hockey teams wear in Europe.....

    Any more imminent signings Roji ?

    The local club here (IK Start) have a grand total of nine different kit sponsors this season. One on the socks, two on the shorts, one on the sleeve, two on the back of the shirt and three on the front of the shirt.

    Cool , Sometimes get free tickets through work for Viking , Bryne or Sandnes games , Personally at Bryne the standard was very haphazard, usually start well then fall away :(
    I should start to go and see more games though , maybe see the next Hella .

    Cordoba CF (2º división) 2-1 Granada (Orellana scores and failed a penalty). Pre-Season match with experiments, as usual, nothing to worry about.

    Also, we have signed Alex Bernal from Real Betis. He will try to convince Anquela to stay at first team, if not, he will go to the B or on loan to 2º division teams.

    So - are Seville your "local" rivals alongside Malaga? - I realise Seville is not that near to Granada - but compared to Deportivo or Bilbao it is just around the corner!

    Do the huge distances mean that games are often just home fans with a few hardy away fans - or do big followings go to away games.

    In England, premier league games tend to be much more home fan dominated now because of the sheer number of the seats taken by home season ticket holders.

    Watford usually have over 1000 fans at away games and at local games three or four times that number - that makes the atmosphere in the ground very different when there are perhaps only 15000 home fans -but if you go to a stadium like Old Trafford - 75000 fans and the typical allocation to away fans is about 3000 only - so they are quite literally drowned out

    The real "rival" is Malaga (although there is a good relationship, is an historical rivalry). The Seville rivalry come from political reasons, and thats why is the hatest team in Andalusia.

    The distance... Yeah, is hard for supporters to travel to Coruña or Bilbao, or to the islands (Like Mallorca, or Las Palmas in segunda). Anyway, last
    season we took over 8.000 supporters on Santiago Bernabeu [video=youtube;yxQKhJgApVU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxQKhJgApVU[/video]

    But yes, is hard for teams supporters (distance, prizes...) to travel to other cities in 90% of matches.

    Granada CF 5-1 Hercules CF. Flores, Iriney, Flores, Machis and Benitez scored. It was the first match with the "thought main eleven players". It sounds good...

    Next match: Granada CF - Vitoria de Guimaraes in the first 2012/2013 match on Los Carmenes on Trofeo Los Carmenes.

    How are Flores and Torje doing till now?
    I'm really curious and hopeful for them.
    Both are really good IMHO, but Flores was "blocked on bench" having someone named Di Natale in front of him, and Torje looked very promising but still having to "mature".
    I think and hope they both can shine next season in Liga, so I'll read your news here with interest.

    Is Noé Pamarot in the team?

    Bet the celebrations in Granada went on all night after Kirani James took the 400m gold in such dominating fashion yesterday. Following our partnership with these new brothers of ours, I couldn't help but support the lad. Wonderful scenes.

    @sherlock today, i saw both of them in "Trofeo Ciudad de Granada" tonight (team presentation on Los Carmenes, against Vitoria de Gimaraes, 2-1 for Granada CF). Flores was a little weak, he was changed because a little bit injure), but he scored 2 goals last day against Hercules CF. Let's see how he develope. Torje was ok, fast, moving all along the field... I liked him.

    @AngelHornet Kinda, he is in the team, but we want to sell him. And he had tweet some things Granada didnt like. Pamarot has not level for La Liga.

    @luke_golden We are such a great city. We win golden medals. 38th on medal classification.

    I looked for Watford in the medals table, but we've won nothing. Maybe it's too soon since the Pozzo takeover. I'm sure in Rio in four years, it will be better.

    A question for our Granada friends....

    Have you sold any of YOUR players this season ? We see you have spent €5m on players and a few more udinese loanees....

    I'm just having a discussion with a mate regarding what would happen IF the pozzo's pulled out of owning you....how many players would be left (after 3 years) that are ACTUALLY YOURS ?
     
  29. rojiblancohorizontal

    rojiblancohorizontal First Year Pro

    Ill try to answer:

    Sold (with some amount of money, not free): We have sold Mollo to Nancy (2M €) and we are waiting to sell Cortes (but he can exit free) and maybe Diakhaté. BUT think we have reject 4M from Athletic for Mikel Rico, 1M from Celta for Siqueira and 6M from Valencia for Siqueira. So we could had made more money.

    About your question: What would happen if Pozzo's pulled out? How many player would be left on Granada? Right now:

    - Toño
    - Roberto
    - Cortes
    - Pamarot
    - Diakhaté
    - Ortiz
    - Angulo
    - Iñigo Lopez
    - Mainz
    - Borja Gomez
    - Siqueira
    - Moises Hurtado
    - Lucena
    - Mikel Rico
    - Orellana
    - Yebda
    - Iriney
    - Fran Rico
    - El Arabi
    - Darwin Machis.
    - A lot of players on loan (Cruz, Cases, Dimitrievski, Widmar, De Coz, Ikechi, Akinsola, Murillo, Pudil, Yuste, Juanjo, Ferreiro, Boateng, Fatau, Bernal, Kitoko... I can´t remember all of them)

    As you can see: Udinese helps a lot, especially on first year (and still does: Nyom, Torje, Flores, Jaime, Dani Benitez), but then the "gifts" come and go between teams (Siqueira free to Granada, Granada loan Matias Campos and Silva to Udinese so they dont need more foreign places. I wont be surprised if Granada "sells" free Pudil or Ikechi to Watford next year) and you start improving the Udinese style, signing and loaning. Allways on a nice brotherhood (one example: Machis made the medical reco on Udine, but then, he signed with Granada).

    I am sorry to read that Floro did not play well. Was he really that bad?
    How about Torje? any idea why he was used only for a short time?
