This Dongou kid is a beast. I don't know if they can fit him in on the first team if Pep is the coach. I don't think he fits his system because Dongou is more of a CF like Eto'o or Bojan. He needs somebody to get him the ball. As we saw in the Champions League match against Celtic, he needs to have players who can get him the ball or he becomes not as good as he can be.

Pep seems to value more dribbling type players. Another reason why I don't think Villa is as effective on Barca as he was when he was on his previous team.

But I hope Dongou makes it on the first team. I like this kid. All he does is score goals.

Funsize, Dongou is a good dribbler, I've watched him play several times, he can also play on the wings if required. Concerning Eto'o he completed the most dribbles in Seria A last year more than Sanchez and you can't say he can't dribble.

Just a final note that Samuel Eto'o sacking his agent and informing FC Barcelona that he never wanted to sue them for a part of his transfer value to Inter Milan (claiming that his agent had been the one driving the action) is not the only good piece of news for the Catalan club. The Samuel Eto'o foundation in Cameroon, partly funded by Barca, has social, medical and educational aims. But it's also a football campus. Already it has provided three players who are performing in the youth version of the Champions League (called the NextGen Series) in which Spurs, PSV, Inter Milan, Marseille and Barca all compete.

Defenders Vivaldi Leonid Bakoyock and Frank Bagnack are playing at a high level for their age, but Jean Marie Dongou, a born goal scorer, is a striker who I warn you here and now is absolutely off the scale. "His potential is limitless," his European Cup-winning coach, Oscar Garcia, told me the other day. So now, dear ESPN readers, I have to say that you must jot the name down and watch his progress. Jean Marie Dongou is a footballer who, if not struck by bad luck, is going to become one of the world's greatest, most dangerous and most thrilling strikers over the next 15 years.

Graham Hunter:

“In the Juvenil team coach by Oscar Garcia, who I think potentially should be the next Barça coach after Pep, there is one guy who is the best I have ever seen. I saw Messi at sixteen but Dongou from Cameroon is the best footballer at sixteen I’ve ever seen in my life. He is phenomenally quick, finishes brilliantly and works, he has been taught to work and press a lot.”

indeed, still we all know that the biggest step for 'black youngstars' will be the jump into the first team. At youth levels they are - physicaly - way ahead of all the others. Not saying he's not a huge talent, still he has a lot to prove.
