the--dud Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Sorry to start a whole new thread for this, but in my second season with Manchester City I noticed that Real Madrid bought Esteban Granero (Wikipedia page) from Getafe for over £12m I've never heard about him myself so I found it a bit strange but his stats looks decent and he's only 21 years old... I know the AI makes some silly signings in FM09, but he did actually seem pretty good. I'm at work now, so I can't post a screenshot of him but perhaps someone else could? I think he's an MC/AMC, AMRC or similar. For sure plays for Getafe CF in Spain... Has anyone ever had him, if so is he any good? Does he have a really high potential? Suspect he's a -8/-9 in my game and he just happened to be on the top end of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tameeris Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 He looks like a good player, but I don't think he is at Reals level imo. Got a screenshot of him but its in Portuguese. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the--dud Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Cheers for the screenshot, now this thread isn't gonna get closed hehe Yeah, I found it weird... Looking on wikipedia has actually started out as a youngster for Real Madrid. He's also been capped for Spain U19, U20 and U21 in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaMilan Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah Real always seem to buy him back from Getafe in my games then leave him rotting in the reserves or on the bench if hes lucky, bit stupid but oh well, maybe its to fill a homegrown spot or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmers Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I had him at Getafe, a key player. Lots of goals and assists, a former Real player irl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky_08 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Very good player irl, only reason he was let go to Getafe was because Real decided to go with De La Red. They signed him for 20m euros or something and Real have a cheap buy back clause. His potential and ability are well represented on the game and i've been put of signing him, but he could play better than his stats suggest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the--dud Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Just an update, on my save Real Madrid has played 11 games and he's not played once... Is one of the substitutes however, so perhaps he'll play eventually. Seems to be warming the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinaldo Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 why is De la Red not able to play until next season on fm ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeCFC Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Skinaldo, I just had a look on wiki, seems he suffered an 'effort sycope' and is unable to play for the rest of the season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruben_De_la_Red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 why is De la Red not able to play until next season on fm ? He collapsed in the pitch in the start of the season and doctors have still not found out what is exactly wrong with him iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiggyDempsey Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 What would be the best setup to get the best out of this player AMC/Trequartista/Attack is what I've tried but its not clicking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicopalm82 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Great article on Granero in a recent World Soccer. Apparently Di Stefano refused to watch Madrid play on the opening day of this season because he believed Granero was the most talented youngster he had ever seen and he was livid they had sold him. Most people expect them to exercise the buy back they have at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people expect them to exercise the buy back they have at some point. They have used the buy back clause, he starts at Real now. I just started a save as Getafe after an epic one on 09 and I was gutted to see he had gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
