Barça's Transfers and Rumors

Why would Munir go to Arsenal? He has great chance becoming our nr1 striker in 3-4 years and here he can win a lot of titles, while at Arsenal he can get 1-2 trophies in 5-6 seasons.

Doubt he would leave TBH. Just Wenger sniffing around him to see if he would consider it.

Why does Arsene constantly try and steal our youngsters. They always get praised for using youngsters but who has actually come out of their academy? They just steal talent from other clubs (normally us) and then claim to have a great academy.

But we've only really had Xavi go through most of the youth setup.
Iniesta, Valdes, Messi, Busquets, Pedro, Puyol etc were all signed.
The same goes for Munir and, obviously, Halilovic.

He'd already leave if he wanted to but signed a contract with us instead. Wenger will never get him.

Only Puyol, Busi and Pedro would be a valid claim. Messi, Iniesta and Valdes joined Barca academy when they were 12-13 years old.

I'd have kept Tello instead of Pedro tbh

Same reason Cesc went there a few years ago ?

Apart from doing a 100 meter dash Tello was useless for Barca, the only thing I remember during Tello's time at Barca was Messi scolding him for not passing enough during a match when Messi was open.

Only some of them

But he acted like we've got several players that have stayed blaugrana throughout, when that's not the case.
From the top of my head I can only think of Xavi and Samper who joined before the age of 10 and never left. Maybe Rafinha and Montoya too.

15 and younger in my book is signing non-developed youngsters. How many of the ones listed signed before then?

Xavi, Iniesta, Montoya, Rafinha, Bartra.

Valdes too.

Valdes too.

Then compare that with Arsenals players who have come before the ages of 15.

 

[Ken_rosseneri]

I'm still not satisfied with our transfers. I hope there is still ONE MORE SIGNING.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Is the transfer window closed on August 31st or September 2nd?

It's all about opinion , I recall him knocking the ball past numerous RBs then cutting in from the left and scoring quite a few goals given his limited starts . He WILL improve dramatically as he gets older .
