Firstly, I am gonna admit that I had my serious doubts for Bartra. Never convinced he's gonna make it. But recent performances have steadily swayed my opinion on him. I think at the rate he's improving now, he's gonna be massive for us.
I would like to comment though, that so far Barca has been handling him brilliantly. People were saying that he deserves much playing time, but the truth is, iMO, the club couldn't handle him any better. Because the earlier doubts I had before was pretty much about his mental toughness. I still remember he was bullied around in some games he played last season. But Barca allow him to develop mentally at his own rate.
This is crucial in developing a world class young talent. You should never rush him. And you should always remind the youngster to be patient. I am not targeting anybody, just giving the example that Thiago was destined to fail here, and never gonna fulfil his potential anywhere else. He doesn't have the mental toughness.
Im not comparing Thiago and Bartra. I'm just pointing out that too many young stars around the world today thinks like Thiago, not Bartra. Hence the reason the lack of truly world class talent on display nowadays. Youngsters today are too impatient.
Congratz too Bartra for the call up. Truly has turn my opinion around
