At first i thought that is Dembele.

Players like Neymar, Messi, CR7 (during his 20's) Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Figo, Zidane, Iniesta, Ronaldo didn't just get clicks on youtube video only?...

That Messi-esque pass @ 0.44

But Puig can play as a CM better than Alena. Though Alena probably more gifted.

If you look back and see Messi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquest, Pique, Valdes, Pedro, Alba somehow all from one generation together, then you maybe not...

There is a difference between perception and reality. Players individuality are often judged by their aesthetics, but at the end of the day the only...

Puig more or less played the same role as Alena in B team. Both more AMs with freedom more than CMs. Cant really praise Pimienta on that side of...

khaled_a_d, I see your point, I don't watch much La Masia, and I know you do. If you say there's a clear gap of quality in favor of now, compared to...

If Pique is healthy, Minguenza probably stays in B team honestly. Young talents need to prove their worth as well, not just wait for coach pick...

@khaled, some great posts tonight :thumbsup:

Nice take. What year did Totti say no to you? Glad he did, lol. Glad also you never got Lewa. Christ. Notice this, though: you say Kaka is 'up...

In reality Koeman did not go and hand pick Mingueza as a gem from B team. Barca had an injury crisis and Mingueza most experienced and physically...

1- You are asking the wrong guy, because till the moment I don't think Minqueza deserves to be Barca 1st team player. He is here due to crisis and I...

Mingueza is not mediocre talent. He is good talent, but a player you need an eye to promote. If the manager lacks that instinct, only the very best,...

Oh forget him. Though it is too early. Alena, Gomes, Denis also got decent minutes under EV as well.

And team like Barca wants great talent, not mediocre talent to move forward. EV was not a man for developing mediocre talent, true but also he didn't...

Ilaix is not from La Masia?

No.. as Koeman said today. The young players are getting a chance not to please supporters but because they deserve it. Your argument basically...

Pedri, new comer, not from Masia. Dest, new comer, not from Masia. Fati, actually promoted by EV, Masia. Araujo, keeped by EV instead of Tobido....

Don't think they do, but could be wrong

I am not sure it's the right example. Pep after that fantastic season was warranted to demand whatever he wanted, and no president would sound sane...

Copa final and -2 points from the top with 12 games to go.Life is good!

Because giving a chance to young players is something you do not only when the players show undeniable talent. With great talents is easy. Others...

Yes, because people are voting for 'which side is the best', to which I would also vote Barca '10-11 but nevermind

Why point to Mingueza and not the vast majority of young players in recent years that have been given a chance and not been good enough or the ones...

Gerd Muller would have been considered as better player than Cruyff or Maradona by media nowadays.

Honestly, did you rate Mingueza as worthy of being given a chance at Barcelona until Koeman gave him a chance vs Kiev, in CL? I remember there was a...

Olmo was included in the Halilovic deal. We didn't rate him highly at that point in time.
