Seemd to be playing more of AM/central recently.

Maybe they are trying to develop him into Xavis AM type player to disrupt the lines more than a winger.

Or perhaps just trying to get him to develop game and play with head up more as can just get head down and dribble ball while playing in there.

Looks set to leave with Leeds, Sevilla and Milan interested.

Someone I never really got behind, but when you have an 18 (19 next month) year player leaving for free to Premier League teams in Spain, England and Italy then maybe we should have them on longer term contracts and also loan them out sooner.

Real Madrid Castilla
Sergio Arribas -> 2025
Alvaro Rodriguez -> 2027
Peter -> 2025

Barca B
Victor Barbera -> 2023
Ilias -> 2023
Estanis -> 2024
Txus Alba -> 2024 (renewed Jul 22. Month of expiring)

Isn't our contracts short for the money reasons? Seems bad though..

Making ends meet, I suppose. Which is never the best strategy.

In regards to Ilias, we will get compensated to an extent thanks to formation rights.

I'd just like to see us have a little more control over the higher potential players.

Let's look at Barbera for example and see how he does in Belgium (I'm going to go on a tangent here btw).

Brighton are benefitting with the development of their players thanks to loaning them to the Belgian club owned by their owner. It's a good platform with conditions to develop their players.

We might want to look at a club we can do that with in a lesser league. A bridge between Barca B and Barca. It is a bit ridiculous how we can miss out on prospects because they don't want to go to Barca B, yet they will willingly sign with Brighton to play in Belgium, or go to Austria with Salzburg.

I think if a Catalan business man wanted to be the next president, then one of the best things he could ever do for his credentials is establish a team that develops these kind of players and links with Barca.

For all the years of candidates for Presidency, no one has ever put their money where their mouth is and tried to run another club. The only guy who ever had this forsight was... Pique. So respect for that.

Also, as an extension of this, it is good to look at a guy like Vicent Tan who bought Cardiff City, Sarajevo and another club (Belgian I think). The first thing he done was to make these sides self-sustainable and profitable within the first 12-24 months.

I think that is a good model for those to think about who will suggest that owning a football club is money drain (true in many cases) and would not make this feasible.

Mou, res!

Signing for Villarreal in the next few days. Leeds move collapsed after the sacking of Javi Gracia and their subsequent relegation.

Good move for him. He is about 3 years atleast away from even potentially being ready for us.

Still, shame we couldn't have renewed him and arranged a LaLiga sale + Buyback option or loan ourselves.
