Its no jinx, it happens basically every year, so its pretty much facts.
As long as messi plays, yes i believe you are correct.

We need to think long term and make sure we are still that competitive once Messi retires. Suarez is not getting any younger either.
La Masia needs to be rebuilt/revamped to make sure we will still churn out top quality talent.

At least we won't buy Pogba right away, as Laporta promised.
At least something good
And also we won't rely heavily on la masia as Laporta promised which is by any shadow of a doubt a great thing.
Barca cannot compete against the likes of rm, psg, citeh, and so forth mainly with cantera players unless they continuously produce youths of 24 carat which is obviously not the case on a regular basis.

Sure, but cantera is our foundation, our roots. Nobody expects us to field an all-La Masia starting XI, but we simply can't let it deteriorate further.
I agree about La Masia. I was just talking about the here and now. I think we have at least one more CL win in the Messi era, before it's over.

What makes you think that he is planning with La Masia anyway? I mean there are countless talents hanging out in Barca's youth ranks and the first thing he does is rubbing some overpriced french midfielder into their faces to make it even harder to ever see first team action. And the fact that he is considering "buying overpriced french midfielders" as an option this season means that he will consider it as an option the other years aswell.

Agreed but the only way Barca can prevent La Masia from going down further is to produce very very good prospects for the first team which imo is very hard to accomplish in a constant manner yet surely not impossible.
Barca must mix it idealy part from academy and part from well thought transfers even if expensive.
His own statements.
Pogba manouver was imo a purely tactical move, he knew it could win him votes.
Great talents don't necessarely result in great players and there are tons of examples, it is indeed very difficult to rely massively on cantera when you are the best club in the world in the last decade, by far.... If Barca was an Ajax like club it would have been a completely different scenario.
