@BBZ, but the current generation of youngsters is the best in the last 10 years. Has any other youngster in the past 10 years won the golden boy award, did any one of them got called up for the national team. Pedri, Gavi and Fati all did that, they did more in a season, than any youngster of the past 10 years in their whole careers. These generation is already different, because they are not only hyped by Barcaforum, but by the whole world.
You would write the same about our golden generation before they realized their potential. You would call Messi injury prone, Xavi and Iniesta would be to similar, they would never work together, Puyol would lack technical ability for a top team, Valdes would be error prone.
I'm not saying that this generation will be as good as that, but they are better than any that came after our golden generation, and they proved it on the pitch, they did the one thing that you always criticized our past youngsters for.
The last sentence is unneeded lie.
About Messi, I watched Barca every single weekend back then, and I was really excited about Messi, he had some magic and aura from the first second.
About young Xavi, I loved him since the age 19.
I do have to admit that I didn't like young Iniesta. But, on the other hand, even the older Iniesta was never nowhere close (for me) to Xavi. I am just not that much "into Iniesta" in general.
I was never a huge fan of his football :/
Thiago Motta looked nice in the early days.
I even had hopes for young Gabri who was together with Xavi and Iniesta one of the key players in Spanish youth teams.
I had high hopes even in young Bojan Krkic.
Or even in Gio Dos Santos.
But after them, I started to less believe in hype because it's just hype, clicks and feeding the hope and dreams of naive fans of every club in the world.
Regarding Pedri, Fati and friends:
I could agree about Pedri, because he is universally acclaimed.
But what helped is that we suck currently and a player of Pedri's age was given a chance to grow.
If Pedri was here in 2014 and 2017, he wouldn't play in such an early age.
About Gavi and Fati in NT, I am not buying that story yet because Lucho is weird as fuck lately.
I am not sure is he a Catalan separatist or what happened with him, but it is obvious that he has some Catalan and anti-Madrid agenda.
He is calling every semi decent young Catalan footballer.
So, about Fati and Gavi, it is hard to tell whether they are called because they are THAT good or because Lucho went full retard in political terms.
Regarding Gavi, I am watching matches every weekend and I still have no clue what Gavi is doing and what are his strengths except being young, being a fighter and running around like crazy (like Frenkie).
Nico, I won't waste words anymore.
Puig, finished story years ago.
Fati, he has some moments of brilliance but also a lot of questions around his overal game, way too many injuries and already questionable behavior due to too much hype around him.
When you sum it all, the most likely scenario in 3 years is that we will have one world class player in Pedri and one so-so guy in Gavi.
Others will probably be forgotten and we'll just move on to new Alenas, Puigs and Oriols.
But still, even if we would have 5 La Masia gems, all of these guys are midfielders.
And matches are usually won in attack.
Yet, the prices of good attackers are very high and we are broke, La Liga is on a decline and soon no one will want to come.
Instead of Mbappe, Haaland and Brazilians, soon we'll be able to attract only no name Cameroonians and local overrated players from Valencia.
I am repeating the same things now like a broken record: when you remove bias, hope and hype from current La Masia crop, there is really not too much left.
We'll get 2 or 3 domestic players and absolutely nothing at all other areas of the pitch.
We don't have money, we won't have money anytime soon, La Liga is dying and if Covid will stay for years, we will be in even worse financial situation than today.
EPL doesn't care about Covid, oil money is not affected by Covid, yet our finances, stadium, tickets income is heavily influenced by Covid and Messi's departure.
Not only that we'll sink like a Titanic, there is a realistic chance that we'll sink even deeper, but I don't know how to phrase/call it at all.
But you guys are "trusting the process" in a no name coach who looks highly questionable and in a few young players called by Catalan-agent Lucho.
Oh well... Again, I admire your optimism, really a Goat level.
