Then get stuck with 3 keepers like we have been for the last two seasons. Would rather get rid first ideally

Sounds like a decent signing. Checked the Granada twitter feed on players leaving and their fans wanted to keep him and rate him quite highly. Let’s see.

A good defence these days is hard to find.

Or we'll be announcing the teenage academy kids we've taken on one by one all through the night.

Good to have this finally over the line.

After Pato going to Plymouth this makes Brau the 0 signing of the summer.

2 free transfers, so no use of funds other than wages, and there'd be a couple of outgoings with possible fees involved.

Sound business.

Signing on fees though of course.

How much would a signing on fee be for a La Liga 2 defender? I’m intrigued as don’t know what the average cost of this would be

General rule of thumb is that a free transfer ( Bosman rather than club not wanting to renew ) is that it’s 10-15% cheaper for the club than if they had paid the transfer fee.

The player / agent gets a significant signing on fee and inflated wages in return for the club not paying a transfer fee.

I’m not saying this is true of Brau as I have no idea how much competition there has been for him, but for players with high competition it is not materially cheaper.

...which is how the businessman DK will see it. One out, one in, squad net better. Salaries probably slightly increased

Also. Squad value has (potentially) increased.
Patterson had no sell on value due to his age, but Brau could be worth quite a bit in a years time if he shows good ability.

He looks like Rudoni. Maybe it is tactical to confuse the opposition when marking. We already have Eccles and Torp who provides a 'who is that?' factor (at least from distance).

Good analysis. Great pick up on a free and you can see he’ll need some time to adjust and integrate but his stats are better than both our current LBs. I can see why Saddle is saying another one is coming in who will likely be first choice.

Dear Granada,

A difficult moment has come for me—I say goodbye to what has been my home for 6 years. I was just a boy, only 17 years old, just starting out in the world of football, full of hope and with one goal: to play at Los Cármenes. It’s been a long journey: Youth Honor Division, B team in 2nd Division B, B team in 2nd RFEF, loan to CF Talavera de la Reina, B team in 1st RFEF, and after much effort, my goal: the 1st team.

It saddens me not to be able to continue, as it was my priority, but due to circumstances beyond our control—and which are not appropriate to explain today—I have to leave…

Today, I just want to say THANK YOU: to my family, friends, all the club’s staff, coaches, teammates, and the fans, who have made all these years much easier.

Now I begin a new chapter. I'm going to a great club with a lot of history. I face it with excitement, drive, and ambition, ready to pursue the dream I’ve had since I was a boy: to play in the English league.

To the city of Granada and to Granada CF, I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart, and a swift return to the 1st division. Hopefully our paths will cross again.


THANK YOU!
Always, ETERNAL FIGHT

So you would happily have 1 left back instead of getting the replacements first? Interesting take. Glad you dont work for them too

I dont have all the information, how do we know contracts arent already signed with another left back and its just not announced?
i truly dont think its worth getting worked up about for exactly that reason.
The people in the recruitment department will do their jobs, and they’re alot better at it than me or you

Are the Banana flats, I have happy memories, used to date a female dentist assistant call Wendy.

The dentist was actually on the ground floor of the banana flats, don't know if it's still there.

Wendy was really kind and gentle if you know what I mean.
