Marseille
On 28 January 2008, midway through the 2007–08 season, Grandin joined Marseille for €400,000.[20] However upon leaving Caen, he was criticised by manager Franck Dumas.[21]
In his first match for the club against Monaco in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, he made an assist for the second goal scored by Mathieu Valbuena, in a 3–1 win.[22] Grandin's debut for Marseille came on 9 February 2008 against Nice and started the match, playing 89 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–0 win.[23] On 17 May 2008, the last day of the season against Strasbourg, he came on as a substitute after an injury to striker Mamadou Niang, and sent his pass set up to Nasri to score as Marseille won 4–3 and so qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League.[24] At the end of the 2007–08 season, Grandin made eight league appearances, most of them as a substitute.[25]
In the 2008–09 season, Grandin was in the starting line-up in the first game of the season at Rennes, scoring Marseille's fourth goal in stoppage time, in a 4–4 draw.[26] On 13 August 2008, he made his European debut in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, in a single-goal victory at Norwegian side Brann.[27] [28] Four days later on 17 August 2008, Grandin scored his second goal for the club, in a 4–0 win against Auxerre.[29] In the return leg against Brann, he helped Marseille win 2–1 to advance to the next round of the UEFA Cup tournament.[30] However, Grandin then fell out of favour into the plans of Eric Gerets and lack of playing time in Marseille.[31] As a result, he was linked a move away from the club in the January transfer window, with clubs, such as, Grenoble, Le Havre and Strasbourg were interested in signing him.[32] By the time Grandin departed from Marseille, he made a further eight appearances, scoring twice.[11]
Grandin joined fellow Ligue 1 side Grenoble on loan for five months on 30 January 2009.[33] [34] He made his debut on 7 February 2009, starting the whole game, in a goalless home draw with Valenciennes.[35] Grandin became a first team regular for the club, rotating in playing either midfield and striker positions.[36] He made a total of eight appearances before returning to Marseille at the end of the season.[37] Having been told by new manager Didier Deschamps of being in a new plan ahead of the new season, Grandin was linked a move away from Marseille, with Standard Liège, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City interested in signing him in the summer transfer window.[38] On 18 August 2009, it was reported by L'Équipe that he would go on trial in England with Premier League club Stoke City five days later and that Stoke had first option on the player for around €1 million.[39] After returning to France, Marseille released Grandin from his contract on 2 September.[40] The club later called him as one of the worst signings.[41]
CSKA Sofia
On 5 January 2010, Grandin was reportedly in negotiations with Romanian Liga I club Rapid Bucharest, and was believed to be about to sign for the club;[42] [43] however, on 20 January he signed an 18-month contract with Bulgarian A PFG club CSKA Sofia, after they gave him an improved offer that gave him 30% of any future sale proceeds.[44]
However, Grandin suffered a setback with an injury during the winter break and was sidelined for a month.[45] He made his competitive debut for the club on 13 March 2010 against Sportist Svoge, scoring the opening goal and providing an assist in a 4–1 win.[46] Grandin then scored his second goal for CSKA Sofia, in a 4–2 win against OFC Sliven on 10 April 2010.[47] He scored two goals in two matches between 24 April 2010 and 2 May 2010 against Slavia Sofia and Lokomotiv Sofia.[48] Grandin became a first team regular for the club, and helped CSKA Sofia finish second.[49] Despite missing a total of three matches later in the 2009–10 season, he made a total of ten league appearances and scoring four goals.[50]
Ahead of the 2010–11 season, his performances attracted interests from clubs around Europe.[51] But Grandin wanted to stay at CSKA Sofia, only to later to have a change of heart.[52] He played in the opening match of the 2010–11 season, a 1–0 home defeat to local rivals Levski Sofia in the first Eternal derby of the season, on 1 August 2010.[53] Four days later on 5 August 2010, Grandin played in a 2–1 win over Northern Irish IFA Premiership side Cliftonville at Windsor Park, Belfast, in the Third qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, in what turned out to be his last appearance for the Reds.[54]
Blackpool
On 11 August 2010, Grandin signed for newly promoted Premier League club Blackpool on a two-year deal, with the option for a third year.[55] [56]
Three days after signing for the club, he made his debut as Blackpool made their bow in the Premier League and set up a goal for Marlon Harewood, who scored twice in a 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.[57] Since joining the club, Grandin was involved in the first team, playing in the midfield position and spoke positively of manager Ian Holloway's personality and tactics.[58] He then played a role in two separate matches against West Bromwich Albion on 1 November 2010 and then against Bolton Wanderers on 27 November 2010 by assisting both matches that saw Blackpool earn a draw and win respectively.[59] However, Grandin suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Sunderland on 28 December 2010 and was substituted in the 19th minute, as the club lost 2–0.[60] But he made his return to the starting line–up against Liverpool on 12 January 2011 and played 64 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–1 win.[61] On 12 February 2011, Grandin scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 home draw with Aston Villa.[62] Shortly after, Grandin suffered a hamstring injury that saw him miss two matches.[63] He then made his return to the starting line–up against Blackburn Rovers on 19 March 2011 and played 66 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–2 draw.[64] However, Blackpool were relegated to the Championship after losing 4–2 against Manchester United in the last game of the season.[65] At the end of the 2010–11 season, Grandin made twenty–four appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
In the 2011–12 season, Grandin made three starts for Blackpool, as the club earned six points in the first two league matches of the season.[66] However, he suffered an injury on his toe that kept him out for four weeks.[67] After missing 17 games through injury, Grandin made his return to the first team against Barnsley on 26 December 2011, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute, in a 3–1 win.[68] Two weeks later on 14 January 2012, he scored his first goal of the season and later set up Blackpool's second goal of the game, in a 2–2 draw against Ipswich Town.[69] In a follow–up match against Crystal Palace, Grandin scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–1 win.[70] By the time he was loaned out to OGC Nice, Grandin went on to make seven appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

Following this, Grandin was released by the club.[80]
Loan to Nice
Grandin returned to his native country by signing a season-long loan deal with OGC Nice on 28 January 2012.[81] Upon joining the club, he said: "I have had great experiences abroad, in Bulgaria and in England, but I really wanted to come back to France. I felt like I didn't finish the job here. So when the Nice opportunity presented itself, I did everything to make it happen. It is a real challenge for me, I really want to help the club."[82] It was later revealed that a family factor was the reason Grandin returned to his native country to resolve his problem there.[83]
Grandin made his debut for OGC Nice, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against his former club, Marseille on 1 February 2012.[84] Three days later on 4 February 2012, he made his first league appearance in three years, starting a match and playing 63 minutes before being substituted, in a 1–1 draw against Ajaccio.[85] His involvement in the first team for the rest of the 2011–12 season saw him make thirteen appearances in all competitions.[86] Following this, the club did not take up the option to make his move permanent and he returned to Blackpool.[87]

In August 2013, Holloway's new club Crystal Palace signed Grandin from Blackpool on a free transfer.[88] He made his debut on 27 August, in a 2–1 defeat against Bristol City in the second round of the League Cup.[89] In January 2014, Grandin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent, under the management of Tony Pulis, without having made a league appearance.[90]
