FC Barcelona is ceding their Buenos Aires youth development program (FC Barcelona Juniors Lujan) to Boca Juniors

According to 442 Argentina:

http://442.perfil.com/2012-03-02-115574-el-acuerdo-entre-boca-y-barcelona/

La alianza dará que hablar. Boca y el Barcelona llegaron a un acuerdo y ambos clubes se embarcarán en una iniciativa conjunta de formación de jugadores con sede en “La Candela”. De esta manera, el club catalán le traspasará a los xeneizes el proyecto que tenía con el Coqui Jorge Raffo, actual coordinador General de Fútbol Infanto-Juvenil de la entidad de La Ribera.

La confirmación del acuerdo llegó a través de la página oficial del Barcelona, que aseguró que el club tendrá la prioridad sobre futuros pases de los jugadores que allí surjan y que a partir de ahora vestirán la camiseta de Boca. También sobre otros juveniles surgidos de las inferiores xeneizes.

Por su parte, Boca tendrá a su disposición “la estructura y los recursos humanos del Barcelona para instruir a sus entrenadores con el objetivo de transmitir toda su filosofía y forma de trabajo en el desarrollo del fútbol juvenil”, indicó el club catalán.

El Barça aclaró que mantendrá los derechos sobre más de 300 futbolistas que formó desde 2006 en su proyecto con el Centro de Entrenamiento para Futbolistas de Alto Rendimiento (CEFAR) que lideraba Raffo, actual responsable de las inferiores xeneizes, que también tenía sede en “La Candela” y que llevó a la conformación del FC Barcelona Juniors Luján.

Estos 300 jugadores “actualmente están repartidos por diferentes clubs argentinos” y “con independencia del acuerdo que se firma ahora, el Barcelona mantiene su derecho de futuro sobre todos ellos”, informó el club catalán.

Boca también confirmó la noticia y habló de un acuerdo “histórico”, que se presentará oficialmente este lunes, en la sala de prensa de La Bombonera en Buenos Aires, y contará con la presencia de Daniel Angelici, presidente de Boca Juniors, Jordi Mestre, directivo responsable de fútbol formativo del Barcelona, y el propio Raffo.

But seriously, like Kizz, im an old school guy who wants an actual book.

When does it come out in book-form, I'm a traditionalist. Preferably soft-back.

100% agreed. I can't read a book electronically. That's ridiculous. I like a book with a nice hard cover Very Happy

otherwise I don't read it.

At first I felt the same way. My friend got a kindle and I told him it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen, that I liked to hold a book in my hands and physically turn the pages. But soon I'll be working in a really rural part of Latin America where I'll only have access to a bookstore once every 6 weeks when I visit the capital city, and I'll be living out of a backpack so I can't carry a ton of heavy books with me. So buying a tablet that can hold 1000+ books and has a 10 week battery life suddenly sounds like a really, really, good idea (not to mention the fact that you can also torrent GBs of books for free! Twisted Evil

).

For better or worse, I think that within the next 10 years most of us will be reading books on tablets. It saves a ton of money from publishing all the way down to the consumer.

Anyway, offer still stands if anyone wants to borrow it! Otherwise buy it in paperback, its a good read.

I have a kindle. Best investment I've ever made. I can't even think of going back to books now, they feel so... primitive.

by BarcaKizz Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:02 am

Really? Books are classic, I hope they are the one thing that never gets old as we move into a technological future.

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:41 am

But they're inconsistent. They're heavy. They sometimes have lettering that is too small, or too big. The pages are sometimes stuck together. My kindle has none of these problems. It's honestly hard to go back to paper.

by BarcaKizz Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:54 am

Looking at a screen for too long isn't good for your eyes either.

by everest1 Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:16 am

but they dont have lcd screens! they're called "electronic paper" displays or something like that, and they're much easier on the eyes. you should pick one up sometime at the store just to play around with it.

by BarcaKizz Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:20 am

Aaaah OK. Still, books are one of my passions and I like the idea of having a nice book collection on the wall.

by CBarca Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:36 am

To be honest Alfred...I adore the imperfection books have.

I love technology, but books man. The day I sit down and read on a kindle rather than a book is a very sad day.

+ what kizz said lol. I'm building up a collection of my favorite books of all time, adding a book or two each year and by the time I'm 30 I should have at least a nice, small collection of my most favorite books throughout my life.

The simple things that the kindle can't replace. Although my dad loves it Very Happy

he still reads books though. Don't think he'll ever completely switch over.

Books are just. They were there when I was 2...I hope they are there when I am 80. They've always been there. It's partly my inability to move on from that that I'll always hold a place for books in my heart.

I love this picture, probably going to try and make a avatar or sig out of it. But I wish it was in a higher quality.

EDIT: And it became an avatar.

Video makes me miss Villa....man is an animal when on his game.

Some great goals, obviously we can all debate the order, but I dont think its important...just enjoy some great great goals.

by free_cat Tue May 29, 2012 11:03 pm

Nice video with great quality. I think there is one missing, Iniesta's goal vs. Racing. Awesome linkup with Messi.

Also, I find this best goals compilations too biased towards long shots and freekicks, and not enough towards teamplay goals.

Dani Alves: "Good pass!" lol Laughing

by The Franchise Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:53 pm

Alves came out AGAIN and said he aint going nowhere.

by BarcaKizz Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:57 am

Such a relief, I hope there is more good news to come for us.
