Of whats 24 players that today hasn contract with Espanyol, only 11 of them have played in Segunda. That 'solo' is transcendent, considering that most have jumped off directly from Second B step or even the Third, to the first team, Espanyol little accustomed to their homegrown players playing outside. For this reason, and with the intention of configuring a template adapted from the first day to the category, the most signings will have experience in the silver division.
Of these 11 players, there is four of them who arrived in January. Sit is about Leandro Cabrera, Oier Olazábal and Adrián Embarba. Tanning in clubs like Zaragoza or Recreativo, the Uruguayan has played seven seasons with 224 games. His is a doctorate 'cum laude' in the Second Spanish. Raúl de Tomás follows with 126 games, between Valladolid, Córdoba, Castilla and Rayo Vallecano, while Embarba accumulates 98 and Oier 62. Especially the first two footballers are more out than in Espanyol.
There are players whose memories in second are already lost in memory, like David Lopez, who played the campaign 2012-13 in Huesca (now First). He did 38 games. Fernando Calero placeholder image He played two seasons ago at Valladolid, with 23 games. And there are four players from the house who have had this experience recently. Pipa played 18 games with Nàstic two courses ago, while Lluís López (9), Javi Puado (21) and Álex López (24) have done it this season. Close the circle Andres Prieto, who will probably also rescind, and who has only played one match.

The homegrown that have settled in the first team they have done it from direct waya and even if they had to spend periods (almost) in white. This is the case of Javi López, Óscar Melendo, Víctor Campuzano, Adrià Pedrosa or Marc Roca. All of them have lived seasons in which their role has been residual, extras from the squad. And the majority ruled out an assignment to Second, as happened with rock Quique Sánchez Flores' last year or his own Melendo or Campuzano Recently.
