he's a good player, just thrust into a team with no sense of play, rhythm or style, found it tough and his head has dropped.
Stick him in a Southampton, Swansea or Everton for example, and he'd absolutely thrive - every player knows what they're doing at every stage of every phase of play.
He's probably not the type of player who grabs the game by the scruff of it's neck and produces a one man hero display like Taarabt, and occasionally, dare i say it, Barton, but in a well drilled and confident team he would happily dictate play and orchestrate the midfield to great effect.
Has he been a massive disappointment this season? Absolutely. has his head dropped and he's subsequently lost heart? Definitely. Is he a money grabbing mercenary who is a disgrace to the game and not fit to wear the hoops and fathered Mark Hughes lovechild? Probably not.
He'll almost certainly go in the summer, probably to a upper-mid table Spanish club a la Valencia or Malaga, and he'll do well there.

Good analyse Jeff, shows the importance of getting a squad assembled pre season. MH and co was assembling his squad when we were already 4 games into competition and f*cked up really that one. Hope Harry will learn from his buddy NW in terms of getting the squad right in front of the season. Neil got his players in real early when we won the championship and you could see there was already a team on the pitch with a purpose and game plan from day one of our campaign. We hit the ground running which led to confidence and surely the base of our promotion. In pre season players will learn how to play and perform like a team.
Based on evidence of the last transfer period i am worried of HR cause we made lots of moves just right on the last day of the transfer market. It will take time for players to settle in and adept to a style of play so hopefully we are about to learn from our failures this season.

I wrote some pretty hyped stuff about Granero when we signed him - and it was because of stuff like that. I thought his signing was a major major coup.

Can a upper-mid table Spanish club afford him? Thought they were all borassic!
Well put Jeff + would hate him to go to Prem side and demonstrate exactly that. Had such high hopes watching him and Faurlin vs Chelsea - short, quick passes... Confidence player and none of that around our place this season
