Has scored a winning goal against Bilbao to keep Granada 5 points above the relegation zone (Mallorca still has a game in hand against Sevilla at Pizjuan tonight though).

Collado is a starter since Karanka took over last month and Granada are unbeaten in last 4 games, first draws against AM and Celta and then important 6-2 away win in a direct relegation battle vs Mallorca and a 1-0 win against Athletic.
Well done!Quote:

Xavi reportedly want him to stay next season when he probably should be shipped out to Getafe or something. Would be a waste of our time(he's not good enough) and his(would be mostly benched) if he sticks around for a season.
I don't mind them trying some players in early pre-season, but from last season Collado was a clear step behind Yusuf Demir and we all saw how it worked out for him.
Whilst I was browsing our CL speeds clocked in the group stages, I saw Demir has a top speed of 28.2km/h. And then it instantly made sense why he was so terrible.Quote:

I would say Collado, at least at this LaLiga level he's playing at now, is far more defensively minded. He was always tracking back and making tackles/interceptions for Granada.Quote:

All of those are 99th percentile for attacking mid/winger. So he might be more impressive at interior than a winger/attacking mid that he played at Barca B.
Turn him into a DM, what could go wrong? :busquets:
Our new LB.
Eintracht Frankfurt have contacted Barcelona about ?lex Collado, but the player will be part of Bar?a's pre-season. [md]
Xavi wants to see ?lex Collado during pre-season, and, depending on how he sees him, will decide whether or not to count on the youth product for next season. [md]
He'll be like a new signing.
Apparently Xavi sees him as an interior and wants to test him in preseason.
Can't see him staying though. Feels like he's 19, but he's already 23 years old.
