    Munir El Haddadi

    The team overall last season was a mess. He played from midfield a lot, and was most often played as a winger when used up top and seemed to be instructed to actually operate as a winger instead of drifting in centrally. Sandro as well was quite tame compared to his appearances with the first...

    Pre-season: International Champions Cup

    I don't see why he wouldn't. Aside from Suarez he's our most senior forward and in the off chance he puts on a good performance it'd be a great showing for his potential new fans and teammates and coach.

    Alen Halilović

    What changed me was a combination of watching the B team every -single- week, and having discussions with you, interestingly enough. When you hold out pure belief that a player has what it takes when you have only a small sample size (Obviously of positive performances) and articles/word of...

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    I think the main reason we got "lucky" with injuries last season is because the rotation from Lucho in the first half of the season was so incredibly erratic that everyone was actually still fresh. How many weeks in a row did we go where we didn't even use the same lineup twice in that entire...

    Alen Halilović

    You know, I used to be like that. The hype machine behind La Masia players and shiny young superstars can be quite incredible, can't it? Luckily Lucho is the one who makes all the decisions, whether I agree with them or not, and not these fans who consider anyone who doesn't think they're...

    Alen Halilović

    Yes. There will be a large amount of players from Juvenile A coming to Barca B in the coming season. we will have practically an entirely new defense, midfield, and, by the looks of it even a new front line, although a lot of these differences look to consist of many players who simply rode the...

    What to do with Sergi Samper?

    He's better than Roberto is currently, and he's light years ahead of him when he was promoted as the "patient midfielder" who didn't have a single through ball to his name. Keep him with the first team, give him minutes. Mascherano shouldn't play DM and Roberto already plays such meaningless...

    Adama Traore

    Not a lie so much as an exaggeration, lol. He is indeed very prone to losing the ball when he goes for his dribbles, unless you want to deny Adama is capable of losing out to a defender. He often takes on an Adama vs the world approach, especially when the game gets tough, which doesn't serve to...

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Will definitely hope Lucho does a better job with his rotating of our back line now that we have five CBs who all want to play. If Vermaelen can perform at a level at least as high as Mathieu I'll be happy with him since he's going to be a backup. Bartra is probably going to hurt for this but...

    Adama Traore

    Yeah, don't let the highlights fool you. Adama may have been one of the B team's best last season but that's really a big shame on the B team. He's very frustrating to watch many games, and he seems to lack in many areas that Munir and Sandro do not.

    Alen Halilović

    A very common opinion that I see is that he's the next Messi, or something along those lines. Twitter was exploding when he came on against Galaxy wearing the same #30 that Messi wore. He's rated far too highly for his actual level of quality, imo. Edit: To say all my posts are negative or...

    Adriano Correia Claro

    ? We can easily replace Adriano just with our current squad. Vermaelen, Mathieu, and Grimaldo can all operate as LB when they would otherwise be sitting on the bench or toiling away on the B team. And this is considering a backup to Alba is already very rarely even a necessity, as Alba doesn't...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Why is it taking us so long to make a deal, I wonder? Pedro's situation is pretty clear and he is almost definitely leaving, and Adriano is probably the worst player on our team (Even worse than Douglas at this point lol) and has a team wanting to buy him, so why haven't we actually moved these...

    Adama Traore

    He can't. If you watch as much Barca B as I did you'll see he lost the ball several times more often than he beat his man or did something meaningful with the ball. Loss after loss after loss where Adalente teams were shutting him down, and he'll be even less effective against top flight...

    Alen Halilović

    Imagine Everton taking Deulofeu and Halilovic in the same summer :lol: I can only imagine the meltdown from those who think Halilovic is our next Messi, lol.

    Pre-season: International Champions Cup

    Don't really care who is playing so long as Samper gets a run out.

    Adama Traore

    Adama does not deserve promotion by any means and is not favored by Lucho. As well, Lucho has shown he does not favor using out and out wingers, but prefers center minded players capable of operating out wide.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Would be interesting to see how he does at United. Would be interesting to see if they end up with the Pedro that wins trophies or the Pedro who rightfully sits on our bench every single week.

    Adriano Correia Claro

    MD really doesn't want him to leave for some reason, lol.

    Sergi Samper

    Munir got first team play in a team that only really had Messi and Neymar. Pedro was there but he's not really a threat to anyone. Of course there were more chances for Munir at the time when he could sub in for any of three players with no competition, while Samper had to sit behind the...
