I love the fact that Toni has so much confidence in his cousin, he was already celebrating before guille took the shot, lol.

Love you noticed that too, he already had his arms up before Guillermo even took the shot

 

[FCBarca]

What a goal.

I don't know how Tony makes an impact down the line with Lamine. But he's the A tier talent in this B side right now.

Guille has a ton to his game but needs to connect it all together. I think he can if we maintain the AMC role in a 4231. But baby steps for now. He will close the door to Darvich though.

He definitely can't stay in the B team much longer, at 16

Have to agree, Darvich really hasn't impressed me that much. But could we make a couple if bucks on him? I mean, he's alright but he lacks qualities for "Barca style" football - but he has other qualities... mid table Bundesliga and/or EPL would fit him.
When it comes to Toni, he play can more like a #9 - well ok he drops down or moves to the wing often, but he could play more as a "pure" #9 no? Anyway, if he keeps it up he should get called up if/when Fati bottles his chances this season. Beside the freak-injuries, bringing up youngsters have really payed off for us and gives Masia even more momentum - it's awesome they "produce" such players lately

Can't be long. Probably looking to build the user base first to sell adspace and open door to sell a %.

Also if they promote then they will lose the B game rights.

Don't have to worry about that this season imo.

Toni isn't a 9 and can't play their, is a winger or a 10, like his cousin.

 

[FCBarca]

I thought the new fullback Urena looked promising as well, anyone know much about his background?

Can he dribble?
Yesterday he looked like he can't beat his man at all, that dribbling is more about having a ball retention ability.

 

[FCBarca]

Toni is a terrific dribbler but even better still is his ability to use his body to create advantages, from simple feints. I think we‘re just accustomed to the outrageous efficiency of Lamine who rarely makes the wrong decision

It does not reflect a player of his age which is more & more common at La Masia

Oh he can dribble for sure...

Than we sorta' have a problem... He's left footed, so not the best choice for LW. RW is Yamal and Olmo plays 10'ish. Imho Toni could fit in as a "false" 9 and sometimes give Yamal/Olmo a rest - but if we buy a WC (whatever...) 9, than we have a problem again.
So yeah, we have a problem - a luxury problem with TOO many great youngsters coming through...

Yea good observation, is ability to beat the man, does seem to be more ability, technical ability,ball retention, pass and move, that being ability to take his man on 1v1

Something to keep an eye on to see how he develops.

About Cordero. I read Malaga said they had difficulty in renewing him. That his family are more interested in a move and Pino Zahavi has come on board as his new agent.

I suspect this points to a Barca move if they can't change his mind before the winter market.

With a 3m buyout clause, Laporta can basically pay Zahavi more to broker the deal than he would get as a transfer commission on 3m- while the club pays less overall. Malaga would receive their formation rights fees.

Everyone wins but Malaga.
