    He is 33 years old. His team just got relegated. He was so bad at Stoke City that he got loaned out and was so bad at Newcastle that the fans chanted for his replacement. But now, Joselu is the lead striker for Real Madrid. If you are wondering how on earth that happened, so was I, so here is his story and why it actually makes sense.
    He may not be in the same age profile as most of Real Madrid’s signings, but when you lose a star striker before you think they are going to leave, there are only so many options, so how about the highest-scoring Spanish player in La Liga last year? Yes, that’s Joselu, I couldn’t believe it either. He got all the way back.
    Much Love,

    I used to sit and watch him warm-up at Newcastle, he’d hit pinpoint 40-yard diagonals repeatedly like I’ve never seen before or since, technical ability was on a different level. However, as soon as he stepped on to play, he vanished. He looked slow, weak and scared of the ball. Fast forward a few years and I’m on holiday in Spain this January and go to watch Getafe-Espanyol, and a man I watched miss easy chance after easy chance at SJP scores the Puskas award contender mentioned in the vid on his way to a near-20 goal season. So happy he’s got his career back on track, and has gotten a dream move, I wish him nothing but success!

    I'm a Deportivo La Coruña fan and there's a funny anecdote about Joselu's signing with us.
    In an interview about one or two years ago, Richard Barral, sporting director at the time of Joselu's signing explained that, because Arsenal had paid the release clause of Lucas Perez so close to the transfer deadline they hadn't planned a replacement (this really explains why we were heavily mismamaged). He the explained that their main target (Alvaro Vazquez) bailed out last second, signing for Espanyol and that they contacted Joselu with less than 2 hours before the transfer deadline. According to Barral, Joselu was going around the cyber cafes in Madrid to find one open to be able to send the needed documents, and apparently they closed the loan with 5 minutes to go.
    He wasn't incredible for us, but still a more than capable player and I'm glad he's done well for himself!

      It has a lot of similarities to Aritz Aduriz's last 8 seasons at Athletic Bilbao after signing for 4 million euros signing at the age of 30 back in 2011. Joselu fills a homegrown talent slot and much like Aduriz continued to improve well into his 30s.
      Edit: Athletic Bilbao didn't need the homegrown talent quite as much as they needed striker depth at that time and got a guy who they thought could start, took the job and then started potting 20 goals in a season.

But seeing him now at Real and playing for Spain, it's a great turnaround for him.

    I think there is a lot of confusion about this transfer, so lets clear it up. He is not RMs new number 9, he is a backup that adds tactical variablity to the team. RM changed formation compared to last season, they basically run a 4312 now with Bellingham as a 10 and Rodrygo and Vini up top. Vini and Rodrygo are allowed to drift wide , when this happens Bellingham makes the deep runs into the number 9 position. Its quite flexible and a great fit for the team. Joselu as a traditional 9 is great to have in case of injuries or if the new tactic is struggling against a specific defensive approach.

    When strikers get good after 30 years of age, that means they are really good. I don't say it's easy for younger strikers to get 20+ goals, but a lot do. However to make 20+ goals at 30+ years, that means something. Not only he would have the technical skills, but also the experience that a young player would never have. Joselu is the perfect, perfect substitute 9 for Real, one of the best, if not the best, available at that point.

    This is a nice video but Joselu wasn't signed to be Real Madrid's main striker. He is greatly loved by the spanish fans and that's why there are lots of memes about him going to Madrid and people chanting for him to wear the number 9. However he was never signed to be a regular starter, he is more like a patch while the team looks for a big signing and a the typical striker to enter in minute 70 to score some goals against a tired defense

    Really happy his career has come full circle. I will admit as a Newcastle United fan there were many many days I sighed seeing his name in the starting lineup. He seemed like he was just the next mid striker passing through the Cashley era, like Luuk de jong and Emmanuel Riviere. As someone else mentioned he often looked shot of confidence in matched but he was never one to blame for a lack of effort. Incredible to see what he's achieved since back in a better environment, hope it only gets better for him

Unfortunately latest football stats spoiled our expectations with efficiency close to 100%, so this kind of ballers getting fade away! His overall contribution is priceless, team player after all!

    The first I learned of joselu's renaissance was when he started for Spain when Scotland beat them 3-0, me naively remembering him from his Newcastle time as someone who gave everything but didn't bag many goals and thought 'Good lord, is He the best Spain have? No wonder Scotland tore them apart!' but I'm really glad he's turned things around - some times move just don't work out and England's leagues are always more physical than many expect until too late (Bojan's time at Stoke another example), and good luck to him as a Galactico! I wonder how bizarre it would be if Newcastle draw Real in the CL group this season & see Joselu start against us...
