La Masia

Yes. It was stipulated in all their contracts, and is why we will be selling Kiko and probably loaning the rest.

Though I think Roberto will stay and either do a JDS or be used. Tito likes him a lot more than JDS at least.

Our alevi won the Catalan cup vs espanyol 3-1. This team wins it all, again with take and ansu fati as stars.

The Benjamin also won the Catalan cup 3-1 vs cornella, with a great game from xavi Simmons who is a machine and mamadou.

Lomban terminates his contract with Barca and signs with Elche on a two year contract

Looking forward to see Samper and Sandro with the B Team.
Dongou, Espinosa and Grimaldo (more playing time)...

Yesterday, Barcelona B won 2-0 in their 1st friendly game of preseason... Joan Roman scored both goals.... Samper started and did well (from what I've read, couldn't watch the game... bad livestream)...

Oh, so it seems joan angel Roman will stay, I though he was gone. Same for Kiko infamia. So we have this forward line as of now:

Kiko (Saiz) - Dongou (Sandro) - Roman

Still missing a couple of forwards as I would kick Kiko.

Midfielder Edu Bedia (24), who played in the Liga and the Uefa Cup with Racing Santander, joins Barcelona B on a free transfer. Edu Bedia mostly a player brought in to provide some experience to the squad. Next season's Barca B squad to be their youngest of all time.

So the team would look like this so far:

Adrian Ortola (Masip/Bañuz)

Patri (Ca) - Sergi Gomez-(Bagnack/Ie) - Carles Planes (Costa) - Grimaldo (Gafarot)

Espinosa (Calvet) -- Ilie (Samper) -- Edu Bedia (Quintilla, Babunski)

Kiko (Saiz) - Dongou (Sandro) - Roman (Dani Nieto)

The team is large enough, but I feel we need a quality forward as I don't trust Dongou, Kiko or Roman very much, and Dani Nieto I have no idea about him and what I saw vs. Bayern was not great. Also, we have no natural right back.

The B team does not need any more forwards,If Dongou Sandro and the others are not good enough, they will be let go and Juvenile A forwards will have their chance to shine and the circle continues, that's the whole idea of the B team.

Yeah but you want the team to remain in the Segunda above all else, its the highest difficulty for them and will assist them in the long run aswell as give a better indication for the first team what level they are at.

Nothing wrong with a couple signings to help the team stay in the league, it helps all the kids in the long run.

Tonikroos, you have a point as i think we will have adama traoere, ebwelle, el hammadoui and Pedro at juvenil . They are all very talented forwards.

Btw, Adama Traore seems is doing great at euro u-19. He is playing as a impact sub and delivering a lot. Two assists today. Sandro also scored.

Freecat where are you ? you've always underestimated Dongou's talent. He played the false nine today like a boss.

You forgot to add it was against a crappy team - Vålerenga finished 8th in the Norwegian league last season.

As usual, I was less than impressed by Dongou except one play in which he dribbled outside the box.

Freecat, you're such a hater, let's see what your boy Deulofeu will do for Everton this season.

Great runs and finishing from Dongou!

My friend, freecat is wrong but no need to put unnecessary criticism on Deulofeu lets hope all our youth preform.

I'm not wrong, Dongou was good but he doesn't show anything to think he can make it at the first team yet.

Chill out Khaled, he tweeted that almost 2 years ago.

I agree with Free in that Dongou was good but hardly amazing. Valerenga is probably of a lower quality than the teams he will face in Segunda A.

Btw is Dongou the guy that was supposedly better than Messi at 16?

Its an interesting tweet, he's probably a Barca fan and the rumors about him joining Barca in few seasons (part of Villa deal) might be true!

According to that Hunter guy who wrote his book on Barca, yes. But he is hardly an expert in terms of assessing youth players.

He probably saw a incredibly physical for his age Dongou own a bunch of teens who weigh 50kg and got too happy.
