Re: The Youth Thread "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

should of named thread FUTURE ARSENAL STARS. jks.

You guys think nolito will ever be first team player(most likely bench)? he is already 24 isnt he?

 

Re: The Youth Thread "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Nolito no quiere seguir en el Barça

Quite sure that he won't stay.

 

Re: The Youth Thread "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Yep his contract ends this summer. So he is free to negotiate with other teams now, there were talks about Benfica before. Don't know what happened with that though.

Isn't Nolito the one that said that he would go to LPB if they made him a good offer?

I think he will sign for some mid-table team in Spain.

 

Re: The Youth Thread "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

yeah thats him. quite unfortunate but oh well. lol weird to think bojan is 4 years younger. :S

 

Re: The Youth Thread "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

He doesn't have a place in our team, specially after that stupid comment he did. He is not that young either. It's bad that he will leave on a free transfer though.

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

He already has signed with us, supposedly. Is he any good?

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Is there a thread to track / discuss progress, contract status, etc. of players we still own rights to? Youth seems a bit of a misnomer and so does Former Barca players, or Transfers?

I am mainly thinking of expensive signings who did not make the squad and are out on loan: Keirrison, Caceres, Henrique, Hleb, hopefully not Ibra (meaning I hope Milan has to and/or does buy him outright). But there are also good Masia products (e.g. Victor Sanchez, out on loan or for whom we have the right to buy back).

If no thread exists should we make one?

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Four players called up to Spain U-20

Marc Muniesa, Cristian Tello, Sergi Gómez and Javier Espinosa are the 4 players. Barça is the club with most players. Martí Riverola who is on loan at Vitesse is also called.

If I'm not wrong Cristian Tello hasn't played that much for the Spanish youth NT's. He is doing a great season for Barça B so it's good that he gets awarded for it. A very exciting player to watch. Javier Espinosa that recently got promoted to Barça B is also in.

It's will be interesting to see how Barça B will be formed next season as well. Some of the older players will probably leave so either a couple of new 22-24 year old players like Carmona, Soriano etc will come in and to help, or maybe the youngsters actually will be able to pull it off themselves. Now with a year in Segunda under the belt they might not need them. Even though Soriano, Edu Oriol, Nolito etc are key players for Barça B. Actually all of the forwards in Barça B are 24-25 years old except Cristian Tello. So it's in that position we need some new canterano to come up from the youth teams.

But historically we always had problems to produce good strikers. The #9 has always been for foreign cracks. Of course we have our hopes on our current #9 Bojan but he isn't exactly living up to the expectations.

Bad that Rúben Rochina left for Blackburn, he seemed talented. It will also be interesting to see if any of the Cameroonian kids will get promoted to Barça B sometime. Many of them are really talented and they have been tearing up the youth leagues for many years now but none of them seem ready to take the step up to Barça B yet.

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

agree 1000% but sell him, get atleast 4 million lol

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Yeah I agree. Botia impressed more than Henrique. Henrique is not Barca material IMO.

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

Barça B is up 2-0 at half against Gimnastic. Jonathan and Soriano scored the goals.

Here is a livestream: http://www.rojadirecta.es/goto/deportemixtv.blogspot.com/

EDIT: 3-0 now. Jonathan dos Santos scored again. Nice assist by Thiago and good finish by Jonathan.

EDIT again: 4-0. Soriano again. Montoya won a penalty that Soriano took care of.

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

highlights of game please.

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

It's official that Luis Enrique won't continue as a coach for Barça B next season. He asked to leave after the end of the season. Probably he already have a job in La Liga waiting for him.

 

Re: The Youth Thread | "Adventures of Barça B in the Segunda and other blaugrana kids"

OK, based on the injury report after the Sevilla match and today's awful news, the first team now has only Gerard Pique and Gabriel Milito as healthy defenders. That's it, that's all.

I haven't been paying much attention to Barcelona B. Are there defenders that can come up and make a difference? What are the rules/restrictions on that?
