Given Tuchel's youth policy compared to Barça's at the moment, and Bartra who can sway him, it's not necessarily an easy decision. Not sure if I agree. Grimaldo is very underrated defensively just because of his size. Only advantage Cucu has is in terms of injuries, I think. Nevertheless...

I get the joke, but I don't think he'll be **that** good. Not as talented as Grimaldo, but nonetheless a good talent with a possible first team future. If he was taller he'd be a perfect LCB.

Iniesta is the perfect mentor for him, not only off the pitch, but also on it, as one of Carles' weaknesses is working in the tightest of spaces, as his movements can be a bit too big at times.

Style of play: last season, his team failed to keep the ball a lot, which was extremely disappointing given the level of the league. Now, Barça B tend to dominate games in possession and chances which is a good sign. The way his team play is what you'd expect from any Barça team. One interesting...

3 assists last night. Barça better act fast or else he's off to Dortmund.

Let him play in Juvenil A first so we can officially call him a La Masia talent ;) ;) Either way, him + Oriol Busquets competing for a DM spot at Barça B will surely mean one of them will prevail and fulfill his talent. And if they're considering to promote him straight to Barça B, that surely...

Unzue has watched several B games this season. Obviously the club won't leak it if they have him as Lucho's replacement already (why wouldn't they?- they seem very happy with Lucho's work and his staff), but it's possible that they've already told Unzue and that planning has already begun. Doubt...

Considering the fact that he's two years younger (born in 2000) than the oldest kids in Juvenil A, he is very, very promising. For his age, and given the extreme competition in attack (Lee, Guillemenot, Perez, Mboula, Alfonso), his first Juvenil A year has been great.

Nothing public was said. He was just removed from the registered players list to free up a spot for the rest of the season.

Good kid. Decent season for him despite the massive competition. 1st striker next season at Juvenil A where he'll hopefully explode. He's just 17.

Far more versatile and calm on the ball than Adama. More dangerous in front of goal, too. Not sure if he's as talented, though.

Just to prove you're not even kidding. 828935365188841472 Lucho has got to go this summer. As simple as that. Even if he wins the UCL.

Interesting. I'm 100% for Sampaoli if I can be sure that he will give the youth more consistent chances than Lucho. Otherwise I prefer Eusebio.

Yeah, won't believe anything Barça-related that first comes from AS. Valverde will be an option, like always, but I can't see it happening. He seems like a nice guy, but so boring.

Obviously only a fool would sell this Suárez. It's interesting that Oscar Garcia has played a 4222 which includes two strikers, one of which is a 9 (Suárez), the other being more of an false 9 (Messi). Two wide playmakers at LW and RW, a box-box midfielder and a pivot.

If our next coach will play false 9 again, then there's room on the RW :) For example, Sampaoli (remove Dybala with Dembele): 820951568241618945 Pretty sure Sampaoli also used Alexis as false 9 at Chile. Eusebio also likes the false 9. Used Denis multiple times there at Barça B, and...

Article says: Bellerin and Kimmich are main alternatives, but Barça are scouting other RBs in all of Europe: GB: Walker (Spurs), Ivanovic (Chelsea), Soares (Southampton). France: Sidibe, Toure, Mendy (all Monaco). Italy: Lirola (Juve), Hysaj (Napoli). Germany: Tisserand (Inglostadt), Jung...

People talk about him as a potential Pique successor, but for me that is Cadet A captain Eric Garcia, 16. Got everything to make it big at Barça.

Either way, relax. Just a friendly. Good experience regardless of loss. They had a superb undefeated streak in the league and were publicly praised by Lucho who said he liked to see them.

Hmm, Eric Garcia was not in the squad and they rotated a lot throughout the games so their reserves could also play. As I said, I'm not taking anything away from MK Dons. They produce great players in their academy.
