Mason Greenwood

They revel in being disliked by the rest of spain anyway.

“12, Daddy”

Brings a tear to my eye.

We all love a tale of redemption and we love to see people change.

Whether it’s Walter White, Roman Reigns, Luke Skywalker…we just want to be entertained and to see people grow. Good, bad - it doesn’t matter.

We just want to feel something.

I hope this really helps the 3 of them and being away from the toxic rape/sexual assault capital of the EPL can only be good for them.

Put simply, you do not support Getafe unless you are from Getafe. Crowds range from around 10,000 to 14,000. Some are calling it 'Masonmania'.

In the space of a week they have sold more shirts with the former United man's name on than of any other player in the history of the club.

The executive also pointed to other cases where Spanish footballers have been accused of domestic abuse that have ultimately been dropped that have had an impact on public perception.

'As bad as it may sound, there is almost a fatigue with allegations of this kind,' they said

Getafe are a club that is respected for punching above its weight. They are perennial survivors in LaLiga and are well-run from a tiny staff in which the longstanding president Angel Torres is also the owner.

Torres is known as straightforward down-to-earth and honest dealer, skills rarely seen in certain areas of the industry.

For Mason and his family it has been a breath of fresh air, a friend, who claimed the player had 'seriously matured', explained.

For a long time his life in Manchester was restricted to his house. In Spain he can go to the supermarket and the restaurant and if people recognise him they are warm towards him.

The fear he had in the UK is not there anymore. It's early, but he can't believe how well it has gone so far.

Ultras at Spanish clubs tend to be politically left or right. One exec told me that while there may be issues from fans of clubs such as Sevilla (Ether's second team), who lean to the left, any hostility will be nowhere near the levels that could have been expected in England.

The Spanish fans must be finding it hard to juggle their support for domestic abusers, with their long-standing tradition of overt racism

Jesus dude - cool it with the anti Spanish rhetoric.

Is everything ok at home?

Spain is one of the greatest nations going. Xenophobia is not cool.

Mason and His Family will do well over there in a different culture and some of the anti Spanish brigade on here will soon be eating humble pie (ella).

Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged.

I wonder why he projects that?



It hasn’t gone unnoticed how he tries to bully you larry. I’m just relieved you have the testicular fortitude to withstand it.

Lion mauled by sheep I know but still.

Are you trying to sweep the incidents of racism from Spanish crowds under the carpet now, like you do with everything else? Wow.

“I’ve listened to Pablo’s podcast, he’s a good dude. The monkey chanting was just a protest about deforestation of the Amazon”

No.

Racism is wrong.

Trolling aside, I would never support that.

I just think it’s a chance to move on from a horrible period for The Family.

are all men rapists? we know.

No.

Is that clear enough for you?

that depends on what no means.

so, just to be clear "the spanish fans" just refers to some spanish fans, at most. good to know.

Not everything on here is meant to be taken literally. It’s like, I dunno…..when you pretend you can play football for example - we all know it’s just said in jest.

ah, I see. like that comment. fair enough.

Some would say that Andalucia was the only place where Muslims Jews and Christians (you can re-order if you want) have co-existed peacefully for any extended peripd of time. Still doesn’t have them having a pop at each other.

a great game yesterday, could go as far as saying a dream debut, coming off the bench to decide the game as i predicted in the match thread, and looking as sharp and impactful as he did despite being banished by utd for so long. a few quotes from match reports:

Getafe fans were left excited by a debut in which Greenwood showed flashes of speed and a willingness to run at opponents. Every time he got the ball, there was a sense of anticipation around the ground. Playing off the front to the right, he had already gone at his full-back twice when a shot was charged down, earning Getafe the corner from which Nemanja Maksimovic headed an 85th-minute winner.

We’re pleasantly surprised by him. Today was a difficult game that was very back and forth. He helped us in attack and in defence too. He showed solidarity with his team, and he surprised us physically. We are still working with him, as he has gone many months without playing. We will take this calmly. I imagine today will have been special for him and he will have the satisfaction of feeling like a footballer again. What a footballer wants is to compete, to play.

I only talk about the sporting side of things. Today what I take with me is the expectation of the fans, because he is a great player. We are happy with him. He has integrated well, taking into account how little time he has been here. It’s true that the language is a handicap but we are helping him a lot. He is taking lessons with a teacher and we are trying to accelerate his Spanish. His behaviour has been very good. He comes with enthusiasm and the desire to improve.

We think this loan spell is good for him, good for Getafe and good for football

An excellent debut from the boy wonder. I think he'll really suit the pace and tempo of Spanish football. The way he glides across a football pitch, ffs. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up using this loan as a springboard for a permanent transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid next summer; they will be keeping tabs, no doubt.

Wonder how long it will be before the forum hyenas attempt to suffocate debate again and demand this thread be closed because he no longer plays for us?

He's going to score a wonder goal soon. There will be calls for him to be in the england squad by christmas.
