Club career

A product of Real Madrid youth ranks, Callejón made his professional debut for its B team in May 2007, and played four games in 2006-07,in second devision without scoring a goal.
In 2007–08, he played in 37 games and scored 21 goals,finishing the season as the clubs' top goalscorer, now in Segunda Devision B.
At the end of the season, Callejón left Real Madrid (as twin brother Juanmi) and signed a four-season contract with RCD Espanyol. He made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2008 as a late substitute in a 1–1 home draw with Getafe CF.
On 15 March 2009, as Espanyol struggled immensely in the league - eventually finishing in a comfortable 10th position - Callejón netted his first goal for the Catalans, in a 3–3 home draw against RCD Mallorca. He continued to be an undisputed starter under Mauricio Pochettino in the following seasons, operating mainly as a winger.
On 15 January 2011, Callejón scored twice as Espanyol defeated Sevilla FC away (2–1).


Where could that fella slot in our overcrowded attack?

Ronaldo+Benz (wing forwards who cut in)
Higgy+Morata (targetmen, space exploit strikers)
Maria+Callejon(dribble wingers who can shoot)
Özil (playmaker or better description, the one and only type)
:lol!:


Like you see, he will compete in training with Di Maria.Each game where Maria could play or needs to be subbed, Callejon comes into question. The rest is up to him.Don't forget fatigue, injuries and suspensions, he will get his chances.

Basically, he is a Di Maria who is a little bit slower, can use his other foot, dives a lot better and can pass.
Imagine, he could come through like Arbeloa, noone saw more than a backup in him.........but Robocop>Terminator(Arbeloa>Ramos as RB):lol!:

Fun info, there is a reason why he dives so much. He is the most fouled player in la liga :lol!: Ronaldo will like him :lol!:

Will he be the new Peter Lion alias kiticat or he could do some more?!

Discuss!!

Jose D'or

i still question his and callejon signing

i love the callejon signing
at least it looks like he is a youth teamer

will he be our 3rd forward?

Nope , it's looking good for adebayor

tried too much to be like cr in the LA game and failed.I hope he changes

i guess im the only one thats a bit excited that hes here...

Say's who?

I, for one, like him.

Just change his 80's inspired hairstyle.

Yea lol, looks like he likes to keep it retro

I actually like him, he's a great reserve to have!

im a fan.hopefully he is enough cover for 3rd striker- though his prefered position is winger.

The cheetah of Real Madrid? We really need to work on our nicknamed threads...

babun had a nice one in the old forum, what was it again?

And this year's oscar goes to... Jose Maria Callejon People didn't like the title so I tried something new.
@Doc, he looks like a Cheetah with his hairstyle

By the way, he scored two 1-0 goals to open up teams. If you didn't know, 1-0 count more than 2-0 or 3-0 specially when the other team defends with all of their might

he has pele's haircut , "the white pele" ?

What's up with your Pele obsession, nick ? He really is like a Cheetah, lurks most of the time, runs and pounces= goal A rare quality, he doesn't take zillions of touches before shooting, the quality that I like about him the most

mou is already much happier with callejon, poor leon.

pele? the greatest xD

I feel like Callejon is more like a puma

Good suggestion He feels more American now... :lol!:

It's Puma now. Still not as creative but better than Cheetah...

How do you like this one? I also changed his pic on OP

Callejon with the right support can succeed in madrid. glad benz is helping him.
