Mixed performance of winter signings

Getafe was one of the teams that moved the most and best in the winter market. In need of reinforcements due to his uncomfortable situation in the standings, Quique saw how five high-level footballers joined his squad. Óscar Rodríguez, Borja Mayoral, Gonzalo Villar, Okay and finally Gastón Álvarez. The team has added eleven points since its arrival, has moved up a position, has moved away by two points from relegation and is more solvent. But the performance of the signings is quite uneven.

Borja Mayoral and Óscar Rodríguez are the only ones who are having weight and continuity in the team’s game. The striker from Parla has scored three goals starting in four games and playing in all of them since his signing. The one who has played the most minutes is the Talavera midfielder, with five starts. Versatile and talented, he has not fully met the expectations of the Azulona fans, but he is having a regular performance. He has also participated in the nine games since he joined Getafe. In both cases it is about transfers and the continuity of him next season is very complicated.

On a second step are Okay and Gonzalo Villar. The Turk started in Cádiz and has played in two more games. He has been seen very little. He is on loan with a purchase option and there are nine days left to make decisions. Gonzalo Villar had barely played half an hour until last Saturday when he started at San Mamés and excited with its clarity to go out playing. Also on loan without a purchase option, his future seems far from the Coliseum, but in these two months it may be important for the achievement of the objective.

Gastón Álvarez signed a loan for a season and a half. A very young central defender with no experience in Europe, he came in January to adapt and has not yet made his debut. The sanctions of Mitrovic and Jorge Cuenca can open the doors of ownership in the next game against Mallorca.
