Sergi Samper

The future looks bright!! Bring him now, he's the true Xavi replacement

I know right, I'm 6', but I'm only average height when it comes to the guys at my high school.
It's good to know that in a few years our boys can probably go head to head with other teams on physicality. Take tiki-taka to the next level.

Dongou is not 6'0 (183cm)
He is 5'9 (176cm)

Dongou is not 6'0 (183cm)
He is 5'9 (176cm)

But he's not much shorter than Samper who is 6'.

what. does 2" matter

Samper is 5'10/5'11 not 6'0

He looked at leas a couple of inches taller than Pep who is 5'11 and that was 2 years ago.

What a vision ! what a game reading ! He will be the next Busquets

He did equally as well in Xavi's position for the last 20-25 minutes of the game.

The kid is really good. I also really like #4 but don't know his name

Technique, vision, inch perfect passes, positional intelligence....It's all there, he just needs to get the determination to start controlling games more and being the player who takes initiative and leads our buildup play. The more involved he is, the better he looks. I hope that's how he develops as a player, right now he resembles Busquets quite a bit but the problem is that Busquets himself is so young that we don't need an exact replica. If Samper starts taking charge more often then he'll be the fully developed attacking side of Busquets which we never get to see. Best of all he represents the club's true identity being a Catalan AND having been in the youth system since school level. I heard somewhere that he's the 2nd player in Barca history to make a first team appearance coming from the FC Barcelona Escuela (the other being Riverola).

I'm very excited in general this season for Tata to call up a lot of the B team boys to play with the first team (Samper, Dongou, Bagnack, maybe Sandro as well). This summer has looked bleak in a lot of areas (transfer window, Tito's unfortunate illness, Thiago leaving) but looking ahead the future seems bright with this next generation of amazing talent to come in.

This guy is a mix of Pirlo, Busquets and Xavi. But I'm a bit worried with his further development because of Sacristan...

Number 4 is Ilie Sanchez; he's the captain of Barca B. He's 22.

Looked good today for Barca B. Awareness, positioning, composure, distribution, quickness-of-thought, he certainly has the building blocks to be great.
