He got demoted because of the contract stuff I think.If he was part of Barcelona B, as reports suggest, he's not in the squad today (Currently winning 3-0).
Not sure if that's good or bad...for us
Sorry for being thick, what is Barcelona B? is that reserves?If he was part of Barcelona B, as reports suggest, he's not in the squad today (Currently winning 3-0).

Kind of, except they're actually part of the league system and play in the second division in Spain (ineligible for promotion, though.) Most Barca players play for Barca B before making the step up.Sorry for being thick, what is Barcelona B? is that reserves?
Blimey they must have a load of players to complement that. Good idea though. Is that allowed in EPL?Kind of, except they're actually part of the league system and play in the second division in Spain (ineligible for promotion, though.) Most Barca players play for Barca B before making the step up.
They actually sign players solely for the Barca B squad, have their own smaller version of the Camp Nou etc. They basically operate as a standalone club. Real Madrid do the same with their Castilla team and I think the Bundesliga has something similar too.Blimey they must have a load of players to complement that. Good idea though.

We have the halfway house of U23 teams playing in the League Cup.They actually sign players solely for the Barca B squad, have their own smaller version of the Camp Nou etc. They basically operate as a standalone club. Real Madrid do the same with their Castilla team and I think the Bundesliga has something similar too.
I think a few of the big Premier League clubs were lobbying for it a couple of years ago but it never really took off. The lower league clubs weren't too keen.

I think this is what alot of the Barca fans are disgruntled at. Good prospects are now leaving la Masia, because Barca do not promote many into the 1st team.

Really interesting Article there...it does seem that since the Golden Generation of Valdes, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Messi etc....we haven’t seen many of their talented youngsters given shots in the first team.
I haven’t seen much of Puig but surely all the unrest and disgruntled thoughts of Barça fans bust indicate that he is rather special!
His physique is worrying but the boy is 18? He still has growth in him and Poch can have him hit some weights and such, but I think that not going for a potential player because of his size is an extremely short sighted decision and shows naivety I think!
Interestingly enough though..in that article it says that us and Arsenal have been watching Jose Arnaiz who has a €20m release clause...anyone know much about him?
