DonAK
President of FC Barcelona
Yeah, I mean it's of understandable that they don't want to make too many experiments at the level at which they play, but even PSG or Bayern take their time to promote some potential and that seems to pay off for them. It's a bit sad to see that the trend at Barca currently is heading to bigger names with experience who are peaking. For me personally it's definitely more exciting to bring in some new guy, then make him a worldbeater instead of buying all these players that everyone knows inside out already. Barca is not THAT much in trouble in the midfield, that they'd always need immediately succesful players.
Hell, even fucking Madrid has been promoting a fair share of younger unproven players in the past few years, don't let them have all the fun.
We've been betting on the wrong horses for quite some time now.
Could we have signed someone like Andre Gomes for example instead of Arda Turan? Sure we could've, but what to do when the coach wants a specific player.
Can sign anyone you want. Be it Bazoer or someone else, but whoever that is, he need to get regular minutes. Not a starting role, but regular minutes, and I'm not sure the current Barca got the patience or vision for that.
