Granada is still waiting for the best version of Carlos Bacca, whose contribution so far in Los Cármenes has been practically nil. The Colombian forward arrived to fill the gap left by Soldado, who left this summer for Levante in exchange for 500,000 euros. But his weight in the team so far is well below what the Valencian offered in his seasons as rojiblanco.
Their numbers are more than discreet. In the almost four months that go into the official season Bacca has only scored one goal, in the 0-7 in this week’s Cup against CD Laguna, duel in which he also gave two assists. In the League, his contribution is reduced to an assist in 10 games and 436 minutes of play. He has only started four times and has not played a minute in Granada’s last three league games.
Luis Suárez is indisputable in the Nasrid attack and Jorge Molina has also passed him on the right, gaining the trust of Robert Moreno ahead of the Colombian. Granada need to recover the best version of Bacca and, above all, they need their goals. In the club they have many hopes placed in the youth squad Adrián Butzke, but he is still too young to assume according to what responsibilities. So if Bacca doesn’t catch on time, The arrival of a forward in the winter market is not ruled out if any desirable option is available.
