Lee and Halilovic are the reason Barca want to sign an older cheaper forward i think.

Want to leave a path open to first team.

That isn't actually characteristic of the club at all.

But then again, with Lee serving such a huge ban that and Halilovic being the golden boy brought in, that may be possible.

Banned yet interviewed & featured by FIFA...they do love hypocrisy

From FIFA point of view he isn't banned .the club is the one who is banned from having him.Lee could have played in his country and FIFA would have done nothing against him

Banned from Barca yet featured FIFA article on him at Barça & South Korea

Hypocrisy cannot be spun

Let's agree to that. FIFA banned the club from registering him.

But can you explain why FIFA last month also banned him from entering any club facilities?

Again ,it is a ban for the club not the player . it is "you can't have this player in any way" and it wasn't only for Lee but there were other bunch of players
In fact Lee is the least heart from that decision ,he was with U-17 team anyway and i was gonna be less than 2 months in training in Barcelona b4 he could have registered

And just for the record ,whoever tweets or write in FIFA.com is just a social Media emplyer .he isn't the one banning him and probably not putting thisin his mind .it isn't like Blatter are telling them to wrote this stuff

Simply because they've got WAY more experience at all levels at football compared to Korea. Just having a talented player isn't enough, a team needs coaches, tactics and so and so forth.

On the other hand ,Nigeria is the NT with the most U-17 titles and they don't have any of those experiences .the youth teams are totally different than senior teams football man

Nigeria and African teams won the majority of titles in the past because they cheated with player's age.
European, South American and Asian teams played with kids aged 17-18, while Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon usually played with guys aged 25 and similar.

No wonder, on the other hand, that those teams rarely had any result on a senior level (since those players were already seniors...).
Also, this is why a lot of African players seem to decline extremely fast after their 30th birthday (because that is not their actual 30th birthday, but more like 36th already).

Also, since FIFA implemented a mandatory usage of Magnetic resonance imaging (to check the real age of players based on their bones), African teams aren't dominant anymore, plus a lot of teams removed like 10-20 players from their youth NT teams (because they knew that they would get caught).

African teams are still quite dominant if you ask me. Nigeria is the latest U17 WC winner.

Don;t you also think that also has to do with the fact on how players develop? African players tend to be fully physically developed before other players. And mind you, Brazil is the second highest winner on the competition.

They're not entirely different as you think they are.

Lol,a simple X ray on wisdom molar would make it able to know the age of the player and know that this kid is 25 .this is a myth pro .teams can't cheat on players age unless it is one or two years maximum .and even that due to players born in Urban areas and not registered when they were born and their birthday is estimated

Nigeria won 2013 and finished runner up in 2009 after MRI introduction ,Ghana won 1st African U-20 world Cup in 2009
This is by far one your most ignorant post man.25 years old? looooool

Yes ,which is exactly my point .you can't put teams like England ahead of anyone in such youth competition

They have beaten Guinea ,now top of the group and qualified for play-off stage .1 point against winningless England and they end top of the group (or if head to head is b4 goal difference then they are already guaranted 1st place)

Few quick notes ,his speed is off the charts .look to have gr8 positioning and awareness but can hold the ball too much which is expected for his age
One thing I don't like is his ball control ,lots of time he isn't able to keep it close to his feet which lead to him losing it easily .
 
I think his control/ passing is feeling the effects of the lack of consistent playing time. Playing week in and week out at barca come january should help.
