Martinez-Fali CB partnership again?
This is the reason that unlike the popular opinion we should really expand on loaning our young players. Barca B should no longer be a must for prospects at least those we are signing
Vallejo became a starter in Zaragoza same age Cuenca right now, he was on his way to be starter in Alcorcón this year. We bought him and brought him to Barca B
RM has signed Vallejo after he was a starter and loaned him back there for a season, then another year in German top tier, we brought Cuenca to our beloved Barca B to be bench player instead of loaning him back there for a year or two to develop probably.
Same for Bueno
Gerard wants experience in this position, and I understand it. every coach wants his experienced player. And let's not fool ourselves, reserve team coaches aim for results above developing youth for the sake of their own career even if it contradicts their job description. They aim for a job in Liga top tier not continuing their career as youth coaches.
Bueno,Cuenca had no business playing in Barca B, they should have been playing in Segunda in other clubs that already has enough experienced player to surround them but has bigger need of their talent
