Iago Falqué (9 Viewers)

[K.O.]

Fabregas was a kid when he joined Arsenal, 15-16 years old. It's hard to evaluate his potential at that age, except for masters like Wenger.

Iago was 18 years old when Secco brought him. I hope I'm wrong, but hey, the lad is already 20 years old.

The key words here: 15 years old, 18 years old, Wenger and Secco.

Did you know Pedro before this season or the one before?

He’s turning 23.

 

[K.O.]

No, but Barcelona's youth coaches probably did.

 

[Wahdan]

Then why didn’t he feature like Messi when he was 18?

Same coaches..

My point is you can never say that he won’t be world class nor you can say he will sure be. But, the kid seems to have potential to be a good winger. Just give these youngsters faith and they will give all they have.

Messi is a magician. He's one of a kind.

I already said Iago has the potential to be a good squad player. Honestly, I doubt the word 'world class' since he's already 20 years old and couldn't even break into Bari's first team.

However, we share the desire to give youngsters a chance.

He was never going to be given a chance at Bari. The manager didn't want him.

 

[K.O.]

But if he has the potential to be a 'world class' player, why would any manager refuse to play him, especially at a club like Bari?

Stubbornness.

Messi wasn’t a magician at 18. Also, Pedro had a better first season than Messi’s first. Does that mean he will be better?

Don’t judge Yago now.

 

[K.O.]

Relax fellas

I said he has the potential to be a good player, I just don't think he'll be world class based on what I've seen in football. I can and hope to be wrong about all of this, though.

Cur, I'm not a stubborn, I just question the usage of 'world class player'.

I wasn't calling you stubborn. I was answering your question.

"why would any manager refuse to play him, especially at a club like Bari?"

From what I've seen of Iago, he has the potential to be a starter for us in the future. But there is a difference between having the potential and actually fulfilling that potential.

We should just stop being against giving younger players the chance. And I believe that young talents should be given the chance in their own team instead of being sent out on loan. Start them sometimes, and sub them in on a regular basis instead of playing old, useless players like Salihamdzic or Grygera. Just look at Pedro, I'm not really that sure that he would have been this successful if he was sent out on a loan to lets say, Zaragoza.

Oh alright then, sorry

I asked a Spanish guy about Yago when he was about to join and he said that basically he was a good prospect but he didn't think he would turn into a world class player, which is basically what Barcelona strive for from their system. They don't all make it of course, but now and again they do, they have to make a choice and Yago was one they didn't kick up a fuss to keep. Obviously they can only keep so many so they try to judge the better ones. Pedro is a few years older and they could see he was going to be good, then there is Jeffren, Gai Assulin, Jonathan Santos and Thiago Alcántara, who is more of a central playmaker, in the 'B' side. Clearly he believes he has more of a chance of playing here, Fabregas did the same and he was probably right to do so when you see how Iniesta and Xavi have been mainstays of the Barcelona midfield for so long, he wouldn't have progressed so rapidly.

I don't think he'll ever be world class either.

Speaking about all these guys you just talked about. I just read that many of those guys have expiring contracts and that Barcelona have problems giving them contracts.

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah, it's exactly the same thing over and over again, there is only so much space.

 

[Alessandro]

We just have to start count on younsters as good subs.
For example in MC position. We have Marchisio, Melo, Momo and Poulsen.
Ok, let's sell 1 of them (I choose Poulsen) and bring in Marrone/Ekdal as 2nd sub and guys will show themself.

Merida and Pique also went out from Barca, and Pique turns out to be good later.

 

[JuveJay]

Birmingham have just signed a former Barca B player too
