    Neymar - v2

    I'm somewhat impressed (even if Jaden is overly exaggerating his performance) but there needs to be continuity. I don't like it when people like Jaden are jumping up with joy now, but were completely silent during the England game. There has to be some compromise on judging him as he's not...

    Cristian Tello

    Deulofeu combines Tello's speed with insanely natural dribbling ability and great composure in front of goal. That's why I'm not completely sure if Tello's future remains at Barcelona. Deulofeu is basically a younger and far better version of him.

    Neymar - v2

    Commercial and media benefits aside, he would be a seriously huge burden for the team if he sucks yet gets tons of undeserved playing time at the expense of the youngsters. Is the profit from his shirt sales really more important than the development of the youngsters we have now?

    Neymar - v2

    Even if he does well, I wouldn't dwell on one match too much. Just like one single match isn't enough to label him as a flop, one match isn't enough to prove he has what it takes to succeed in Europe.

    Marquinhos

    There are plenty of talented defenders in la masia but sadly at much lower youth levels. Quintilla, Tarin, and Bagnack are all highly rated and I'd say that at least one or two of them will make it. The problem is they are currently like 16 years old and we need someone with top-flight...

    Thiago Translantara

    Well Thiago doesn't play the same style or position as Gerd Muller does he? To score as a midfielder it requires the ability to get available, play into space, and control a pass or dribble past a defender. To assist as a midfielder you need to have great vision and technique to play a perfect...

    Martin Montoya

    From what we have seen in games, I don't think anyone should be questioning Montoya's quality. Sure in individual situations he has made the occasional error, however that is very rare. His best asset is what he adds to the defensive system and that is actual security. With him in, I actually...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I don't like tattoos but Messi's seem to be very family oriented and sentimental so I'd say it's more of a good thing than a bad one.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    I read that the Barcelona defensive trio of Xavi Quintilla, Rodrigo Tarin, and Juanma Garcia have been really solid for the Spanish u-17 team. If they are solid for the Juvenil teams and keep a strong defensive partnership as they rise through the ranks we may one day have some great new...

    Neymar - v2

    Eh yea I realize now that was a mistake; I put him there because of his longevity. Roberto Carlos would be a better example.

    Sergio Busquets

    Hands off :lol:

    Jordi Alba

    Easily. Ronaldo takes longer strides and has a very trained and refined type of sprint but Alba bombs up with such natural and unbelievable speed. Plus he has far more acceleration

    Aymen Abdennour

    :lol:

    Francesco Totti

    I'd put Baggio up there too.

    Neymar - v2

    It's a stereotype to generalize all Brazilians saying that they burn out at a young age and are all undisciplined. Not all of them are like that. However that being said, which group is Neymar closer and more similar to? The partying and undisciplined Ronaldinho-esque players? Or the more...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Honestly Sabella has been doing wonders for Argentina and has gotten the team to click better and better in each and every game. He knows perfectly how to utilize messi and play everyone around him to his strengths therefore creating a fluid attack. Under him, Argentina also seem to have a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Gotta say that Xavi has grown in the past few years as a leader. He's been getting more involved on and off the pitch in terms of tactics and the coaches. Not to mention that he has a knack for saying the exactly right things in front of the press. The only thing I see him missing is that tough...

    Martin Montoya

    Too much speculation on the future of the youngsters is unnecessary. We all thought Villa would be completely finished at Barcelona and that he will never be an important player for us again, yet now he's in amazing form and in contract renewal talks with the club. All we can do right now is...

    Francesco Totti
