'Rebuild LaMasia'

Calma. He left La Masia in a bit of a state and it took years to correct it for coaching kids from a young age.

These players were all there when came back in a La Masia that had been massively revamped and brought Barca back to best school in the world. With the benefits being felt in the last few years.

The club need to keep on same path as massive changes were made and paid off.

 

[jamrock]

Save our club.

 

[JamDav1982]

Did well to punt Xavi and Gundogan etc and has taken advantage of the best La Masia generaton since last one he inherited.

While Pedri etc. Gift.

Aint no denying.

As good a squad as any in the world.

Board

 

[JamDav1982]

Easy.. Barca win praise Laporta.

Thems the rules.

[JamDav1982]

A concept you clearly dont understand when applying it to Nike deal..

Top stuff.

Value of La Masia and time spent correcting it.

La Masia is so brilliant now we can expect player soon better than top players in place now!

What a time.

Which you dont understand.. see your undersanding of Nike contract situation and thinking Xavi contract made sense etc.

Simples.

?

In 2021 the time before the election, the reigning champion was Bayern and Hansi Flick was their coach

 

[RedxMAK]

Red is so far up Laporta's ass that King Arthur himself wouldn't be able to pull him out.

Bro what

What I meant was, in the Bartomeu tenure, La Masia was in absolute disarray, there was no youngsters in the first team and no manager would try La Masia players, causing the overplaying of key players resulting in fatigue. This fatigue caused the humiliation in Rome and domino effected the rest of our European misfortune. This all would have been prevented if Bartomeu’s board actually tried to encourage playing La Masia players. There were videos about the downfall of La Masia back in 2019, and ofc the average age of the 8-2 team was 29.9 years old. Now, the average age of the team which beat Bayern and Real Madrid in a span of 5 days was 24.5 years old..

 

[JamDav1982]

There were a lot of La Masia players tried.. they were just not good enough for long term place as the number of top quality players produced by La Masia had fallen badly.

La Masia had fallen off and they made changes to get it back again around 2014.

The quality of players coming through in last 4/5 years has gone through the roof and more to come. That was not the case in past and La Masia had fallen behind for creating top top players.

It took a long time for La Masia to recover once the changes were made which is to be expected as takes years to train these players.

The facilities were improved to bring them up to date and also then later once they realised a lot of the practises/coaching etc was becoming a bit dated the system was overhauled.

The result is what see now.

That board was just awful and had no real sense of what made Barcelona great/special.

We didn't have many players coming through but the few that did, weren't given a chance.

The obvious name is Thiago when we had a aging Xavi in the team.

A few others like Marc.C and Grimaldo could have been given chances to at least make the bench.

If they were still in charge, at least half the players coming up now, wouldn't be in the first team, even under the exact same circumstances that they created.

Terrible management from all angles from a terrible board.

But the Great Joan laporta is putting us in his back for a 2nd time.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nonsense..

They corrected La Masia and it is what it is now.

There were a lot of players given chances they were just not good enough until those changes came to fruition.

Likes of Grimaldo fell out with Lucho and refused to go on loan.

There were more La Masia debuts than previously and in addition to no top top young players it was about hardest Barca ever to break into for large spells.

Cucurella developed a lot away from Barca on his loans and got some money for him. Similar to Nico really.

Thiago wanted to play with Pep and Barca were too fair too him if anything in not insisting he played enough to stop his clause.

It was before Laporta that Ansu was Barcas youngest ever scorer.. as soon as players good enough were there they were given chances.. Pedri not La Masia but was in at 17/18.

Araujo was playing, likes of Mingueza was coming from nowhere as team needed him.
