La Masia is so very overrated these days....

The best academy in the world by mile, but because of one of a kind generationS people belive this is normal. It's not! Where is Ajax this days?
This generation is not even one generation and we had (have) amaizing players on different positions. This is not something that can happen every year or even every ciclus because then every Club in the world would be doing that. Why buy someone for 50-100 mils when you can have him from your school every time. It doesnt' work that way.
Let's see how many fans would want all La Masia team every time but accept that some times Barca would fight for Europe or be a midd table team.
The beauty of La Masia is that it always produces something, currently we'll see Deulofeu, Rafinha, we look forward to Samper, Munir and so on....but to have entire team every time is simple not possible
 
This.We can no longer say that RM is just a money oriented club and we have principles and all now.We are on almost the same level in terms of spending money and wages and kroos could have easily been afforded had our board really wanted him.

I do agree we are spending a lot of money on players, but you guys don't realize we are going to get banned for the next couple of windows, so we need to buy now.

cause lots think that every year there will be new messi, iniesta and xavi. Most thought muniesa, montoya, bartra, fontas, bojan, dos santos, sergio alberto will be world beater. LOL. it will take another 2 decade to have a team like the one that won sixtuple.

Barcelona have sounded out Hummels (Dortmund), Vertonghen (Tottenham), Schar (Basel) and Blind (Ajax). Daley Blind main option. [md]

:rofl1: Probably the weakest of the lot.
He is a great player and it wouldn't be hard to get him, but I don't know if he can play at centre back well. He played there only 3 times...

Hummels is too slow, Vertonghen had a disastrous season with Spurs, Schar is decent.

This. La Masia's the best academy in the world, but it doesn't always produce Messis, Iniestas and Xavis. A lot of the time, it also produces Cuencas, Tellos, Bojans, Robertos, etc. In a sense, it is overrated. Just look at the hype Sergi Roberto got. Xavi's aging and Thiago left? No problem, we have Sergi Roberto!

We can't solely rely on La Masia.

By what standard? What has he done in Europe, except making embarassing games against Bucharest and Salzburg in two back to back years? Or what has he done that special at this WC. He was turned upside down by Sanchez, in the Chile game, should've been sent off for constant fouling since the first half.
