Why shouldn't he? Its obvious coach doesn't trust him at all, despite huge holes in midfield. If he can't make it now, he knows he has probably no chance. Should he waste his career in Barca B team?

I don't think he will leave. If you notice, the likes of Gumbau aren't playing any significant minutes. Maybe Lucho feels it's better for Samper to play regularly with the B team rather than sitting on the senior squad's bench regularly. If Gumbau starts a game that's not early CDR, then we can say Samper has been passed over.

If gumbau starts a cdr game over Samper, that's just another indicative he should leave.

I want him to succeed regardless of FC Barcelona. He looks like a good lad you know.

yeah, giving inferior players minutes in first team is only acceptable when he is la masia player. i can wait, be patient and see how develops.
i can't be patient it to Gumbau. it is just my personal feelings.

This argument would makes sense if Gumbau didn't play ahead of him in friendlies as well. Was Samper being saved for Barça B during the pre-season tour too?

Well I assume Gumbau would start alongside Samper in the early CDR rounds. That's why I worded it that way.

Fair point.

This. Unfortunately he'll be branded as a traitor on this forum if he ever succeeds, just like Thiago.

This is some reverse psychology pique training, Lucho will treat samper like shit then call him up and he'll be determined to prove himself.
Or Lucho just doesn't like midfielders with good playmaking abilities

Wish I shared your optimism but it seems logical he will. If he can get first team action elsewhere he will surely consider it

For some reason I find it hard to see Samper jumping ship because of one season in a league he's widely considered to be too good for. The past two seasons it was very clear that he needed to be with the B team, so there's no issue there. This season a strong case could be made for why he should leave, but seriously, it's just one bad season. If he was the type to throw all his loyalty to the club out of the window because one coach isn't using him at the exact moment he (And more vocally, his fans) wants him to then he'd have left for Arsenal a long, long time ago.
Samper is still my favorite B team prospect by some distance, but if one bad season at 20 years old when he has a certain promotion coming in the following season is enough to make him jump ship, then perhaps him leaving is for the best. He'll be on loan at Gijon in several seasons watching the likes of Alena or any other promising Masia midfielder his age take the opportunity that would have been afforded to him, just like a certain Paraguayan with a certain young striker that was promoted to the first team this season.
He's been at the club since he was 6 years old. If all it takes is one coach who may or may not even be here for the coming season is enough to make him leave, he can leave. Every last one of these kids is replaceable until they prove that they're not, and that applies to you whether your name is Adama, Gumbau, or Samper.

Hopefully that game opened up Lucho's eyes a bit
Would be good if he keep getting more chances as a CM IMO.
Nice video btw.
