FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

[raki]

Despite the departures of Mboula, Sergio Gomez and Adria Bernabé we still have a lot of talent.

Give them a chance.

Munir was the star of the tournament back then and has become the best of the bunch. Solid La Liga player who could also be a role player for us.

Munir is the only one out of them who is playing 1st division football

La Masia. Always so much talk about it but little results. What have they produced last 5 years? Sergi Roberto?

Did we just get super lucky with golden generation and that s it? They need to start focusing on junior players again because buying players every season for hundreds of millions is not exactly sustainable. Imagine if we have one bad season? We could be in financial trouble.

It's all down to the way the club's been managed as of late. Talent is still there, it's just not being used.

Absolutely. It's called golden generation for a reason.

We should lower expectations about the players we can get out of La Masia. If we'll produce 2, 3 or 4 useful squad players over the next 3-5 years it will already be very good. If one of those kids can turn into a starter for a few seasons it will be great. If we can get 2 or 3 longterm starters it would be unbelievable. But we'll probably never again get 6 or 7 players who will play on worldclass level for years, some of them even a decade or more.

Anyone heard a follow up of this from the Catalan press? Would be an interesting pivot, especially if the B team goes back to Segunda B.

Hope he stays. One of the most talented prospects in the academy.

If there was some magic formula or algorithm to produce a conveyor belt of top players someone would have found it by now.
