Do we have a GK and potential world class CB in the pipelines?

[xaviniesta]

you think they will turn samper as well into a CB?

 

[Maria]

GK: Ondoa (Juvenil A), Suarez, Lara (Juvenil B). All they have potential to make it, but all depends on their future development. In Barca B I don't see any GK who could be a replacement for Valdes.
CB: I also like Roger Riera (Juvenil A). There are Bagnack and Xavi Quintilla as well in this team. Juvenil B has two good defenders - Carlos Blanco and Rodri Tarin. But again, all depends on their development. In Barca B there ir Sergi Gomez but I doubt he will make it...

I like Bagnack a lot, but then again I also had high hopes for Sergi Gomez and he's a total flop in Segunda.

 

[Wouterinho]

From what I've seen, Bagnack is really talented but I have to admit that I haven't seen him play enough to really comment on his potential.

 

[Flavia]

I think a young wc gk will need to be bought in the near future.

Agreed, but who...?

 

[Ursegor]

De Gea does have Barca DNA I've heard.

 

[La Furia]

I think a young wc gk will need to be bought in the near future.

That's a lot easier said than done, especially as every highly rated foreign gk in club history has been a flop.

 

[FCBarca]

Dimonsss is spot on...Ondoa is the only keeper that remotely looks like he has the tools to be a big time gk...I like Bagnack as well but strangely enough, quality CBs are really thin at the club - apart from the recent signings from Portugal...Wonder if Godswill could play at CB

Either it's a hole in the coaching philosophy or the club should be employing new defensive coaches, scouts or strategies...In a similar time span that has seen so many cantera kids promoted, how can they go this long and fail to develop/establish any first team players?

 

[Ursegor]

Well. Considering the club's philosophy is to put central midfielders at CB, it doesn't surprise they rarely produce proper defenders.

 

[Flavia]

I know, but I don't see another way. No real prospects in sight.

 

[Barcaman]

I don't think Valdes was such a hot prospect when he was young either.

There's 4 of them in the Spanish u-17 squad, so it's not that bad

That's no barometer, believe me

 

[Deco 20]

it's a sign as good as any, IMO

 

[FCBarca]

They're just bodies, big ones
