But Barca paid 16 million euro for Caceres, 8 million for Henrique and 14 million for Keirrison (this summer!).
Why would they pay 14 million for Keirrison in July if they don't count on him and then in August loan him to Benfica?
Maybe because he's a talent that they count on in the future but since there is absolutely no space for him right now they first loan him out in order to get regular playing time?
Like we did with Marchisio, De Ceglie and Giovinco? And like we might do with Iago, Daud etc.
As far as i know, Ariaudo and Marrone weren't loaned out and they're still here. Marrone is getting some playing time, but what about Ariaudo?
Why did we keep him if he won't be getting playing time?
Because getting the experience in training will be valuable for him, i guess? He can learn from the other more experienced defenders?
But i thought we were laughing together when people said that Cannavaro can teach the youngsters?
So i guess Ariaudo can't learn anything and he was going to be better off if he went to Cagliari or Bari or wherever, and actually play?
Caceres was probably deemed as a mistake by Barca, and you know that. Keirrison has the best chance of the lot to it through eventually, even though I do believe he is overrated from what I've seen. Hleb shouldn't even be counted.
Marchisio is seriously the ONLY loan that has worked out thus far. I think loaning Giovinco was a major mistake, along with what Ranieri did with him, because it's obvious he found his place in the team a bit too late. And hey, you YOURSELF has claimed that DC isn't any good and shouldn't play, so don't include him as some sort of LOAN VICTORIOUS !!
As for keeping Marrone, I'm certainly glad to see that he stayed, but he'll probably get loaned eventually. They all do. We tried to deal Ariaudo away as well. Iago is having a FANTASTIC loan experience with Bari, training with their youth team.
With regard to Hamsik, you know full-well he would have been loaned if we purchased him after Serie B. Don't kid yourself, Alen.
My theory regarding this matter is that I'd rather oversee my players at all times as a coach instead of laying that job off to a third party. It's like outsourcing in business. Sure, you take some of the load off yourself, but you don't always know if what you're getting back is up to your standards -- especially in football.
If you want something done right, do it yourself. It's as if other clubs thoroughly care about the development of our own players. :rolleyes2
