Would be nice to get the Mini El Clasico back. Still a long way to go for Barca B to get promoted, tho.

Won the division.
They lost in the play offs 4:0 against the catalan side Lleida and will stay in 3rd division.
Martin doing very well this season, or so i hear, i havent watched much.
Looks like another midfielder is on his way, this one for 20M - http://www.telemadrid.es/programas/d...105034005.html
River Plate's Palacios, 20-year old, seems to be one of the great playmaking talents a la Banega/Kroos. Already starting for River Plate who are playing Boca in Copa Libertadores final and then might meet Madrid in Club World Cup finals.
No idea what the hard on for midfielders is about, but if dude is half as good as Banega and has 3x the brain then I'm cool with it.
Another youngster, exactly what we need right now!Quote:

No-no, you don't get it. Every promising attacking midfielder with some flair is the new Iniesta. Iniesta is the measuring stick of hyping up young talents.Quote:

Madrid media is just as Catalan media. There's not much difference. Made of the same cloth. Fans all over the world overrate the new talents and comparing them to the greats way too soon. Asensio, Ceballos, and most others that were compared with Iniesta don't have 10% of his on field intelligence, nor they will ever have.Quote:

No doubt.Quote:

Please provide some evidence for any predictions made by the media of either of them being the next-Iniesta that are worth damning.Quote:

Yet here we are with half of the fanbase calling Arthur the new Xavi while he'll never have tenth of his creativity, most likely. Works both ways.
You seriously expect me to do a dedicated research on this subject and spoon fed you some sources? :lol: Not a chance.Quote:

We have Arthur man. And Alena. Who cares about Ceballos? :lol:Quote:

sorry man, I like your posts usually but this is exaggeration central. :lol:Quote:

You'd have a point if he wasn't nicknamed the next Xavi (or the next Iniesta, even) before coming to Barca and dominating Modric and Kroos in a manita Clasico win among other things he's done since then. Overrating youngsters is the most natural thing one can do.Quote:

I'll give you that, wanted the sentence to stay relatively similar.Quote:

Blanco is a really neat player who I fear we might lose if Zidane stays.
This new Guti also quite fun.
Would be nice to see either succeed in next few years
Castilla 10 mins away from playoffs. Arribas is a class player
So I'd just seen Gudjohnsen's son is starting for Castilla now. Left La Masia at 11 in 2013, joined Gava, Espanyol until getting to Madrid in 2018. Apparently was topscorer in under-17s Raul coached side.
Lovely little debut from Peter Gonzalez. Shoulda done better on that breakaway but stellar 5 mins
Stop hiding. Jovic was awful.
lmao
Missed a sitter. Not too bad at all otherwise
