This month they will be voting to change the Spanish Juvenil U19 league from regional leagues into two top divisions- an U19 LaLiga basically.

On one hand it will increase the competitiveness of the top clubs academies and fan interest.

On the other hand you will kill the system that has proven an success and outlet for players like Jan Virghili, who came through Damm FC, who under the current system get to compete against Barcelona, Mallorca and Espanyol at a youth level. And thanks to these performances got signed by Barca and now will form part of the pre-season.

Personally I prefer the current way as there is still the end of season Cup of Champions. And it gives a chance to top players, like Virgili, who are good enough for the top academies but can't get in, to showcase themselves on the highest regional level.

I hope this guy is there with the team in pre season. He looks to be a very good player.

Word is he will be on the Asia tour. The main question mark from the youth batch is whether or not Kim Chi makes it. But given that we have a game in Seoul and another in Daegu, we would be silly not to cash in on the marketing opportunity.

Interested what plans we have with him, his level is surely above 4th tier (like many players in BA team) so hopefully club will make the right decisions for each player's development.

Should probably look to find him a good loan destination in Segunda. Maybe a team like Mirandes that "lives" from loans and always gets the best out of them. Or maybe Malaga to replace Antonito.

Nico replacement. Just needs to grow a pineapple.

True, try Diarra, Jan, Toni or Roony if we can't get a good winger. No Trash or Perišić please, the kids would be better anyway

Hope Flick is on the same page, because I sure am. Jan and/or Roony could actually make it.

A door just opened.

The good news is he can play both sides but is better on the left than right.

Has pre-season to show he can operate at the level. If you remember last season Unai Hernandez got a shot, similar to Collado in yesteryear, and showed he was well off the pace.
