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

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.

Dongou's passes and combination play shows his level of maturity, unlike Deulofeu who loses the ball on every twist and turn and does not have the work ethics.

It's true that Deulofeu work ethic sucks (IMO it's not his work ethic but his stamina though), and he loses too many balls, but his creativiy and passing is way better than Dongou.
Also, Dongou didn't really show any kind of exceptional passing ability vs. Valerenga. He did what he always does, off the ball movement and a nice finish and a tap in.

Freecat, Deulofeu is a better dribbler than Dongou, but I don't agree with you that he is a better passer.

Manchester City Reserves midfielder Denis Suarez (19) is close to joining Barcelona B. The deal is 90% done. [@guillembalague]

Dongou (CF, 18) and Bagnack (CB, 18) are included in the Squad for the Asian Tour!

Interesting!

Great read, thanks Dani.

Reading these articles always makes me feel so significant. Here I am playing footy in high school and these kids are in La Masia, winning tournament MVP's and are on the way to becoming stars Laughing

Dont worry, soon enough you wil end up like me.

Good article. Some names I didn't know about.
I think the article misses some players, especially:

- Adama Traore, winger from our Juvenil A side and the fastes player in the academy.
- He mentions Juanma in passing., but IMO he is the best CB in the academy.
- Dani Morer: CM or righ back at the Cadet A, incredibly talentedand with great potential as he still has to have his grow sprout.

From Cadet B downwards I don't watch them very often except Alevi A, which is a golden generation and he already mentions all their great prospects.

how good is Kiko Femenia??

I ask this because Castilla have not scored a single goal since the end of last season and they think this guy is the solution to the goals problem. You think he will improve us??

Oh, Castilla is screwed if their solution to stay in segunda is signing Barça B reject Kiko infamia. Very Happy

by halamadrid2 Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:39 pm

we only need a player who can score. we are pretty much solid at the back just need someone who can put the ball in the back of the net. We have a completely new team now you see

anyways Kiko to score vs Barca B Proud

Kiko is definitely not that man. He scored 9 goals in 99 games and almost 4.500 minutes (50 full games).

by halamadrid2 Wed Aug 28, 2013 1:41 pm

we will continue to struggle then I see

Kiko came to Barca B to play as RW, but he did better playing as Right Back!
Overall = flop!

by halamadrid2 Thu Aug 29, 2013 12:43 pm

he said there were broken promises when he went to Barca. He was promised to play for the first team but was sent down to the b team where he never heard from the upper management again so he decided to break his contract hmm

Anyways seems like we are getting him for depth as we are loaning Henrique of Sao Paolo who is a striker

by danyjr Thu Aug 29, 2013 8:47 pm

That's funny because apparently he wasn't even good enough to play for Barça B.

by The Franchise Thu Aug 29, 2013 8:53 pm

Promised to play for the first team? lol

I somehow doubt that.

This is what he said on his press conference. I know google translate sucks. Seems Barca had given him the same promises as we gave Casemiro

Last year got the card because it was up to the first team: "Last year I got it because I was told I needed a year of adaptation and did not care. Did not mind or debase the record or anything. But then I started playing pretty in the branch and then I told little me. Last year I had to play in the first team, and did not call me or to play a round of Copa del Rey, nor did I go to first team training. "
