S15 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Makes perfect sense, after all I've lost count of the amount of times Barcelona have tried to sign one of our players You've completely missed the point. Remember our arrangement with Cercle Brugge? How many times did we sign players off them? Never. However, how many times did our players go to to them...

Never. However, how many times did our players go to to them... Yeah and I never saw the point of that either, there's nothing stopping us loaning our players to the Championship (a better league to bed players in ready for the Prem) and you don't need to set up some special agreement to do so either. Barcelona have a B team team that competes in their Championship which negates the need for a feeder club. How often will they have a player that they can't tell how good he is by playing him in their B team in a competitive league, so that they have to give him to us to make sure he is good enough for their A team? They might as well scrap their B team if that were ever the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valois Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 woosh! I got your poor attempt at humour, you obviously didn't get mine. Woosh. You clearly don't understand the concept of how a feeder club system works. It's a one way thing, we take young/fringe players, give them first team experience in one of the top leagues in the world, on a regular basis. Barce get to see if said young/fringe player is likely to make it. Makes perfect sense given we are a top 7 PL side these days, playing free flowing football.

Is a season in their second division going to provide a bright prospect with a good a platform to develop for a year than a season on loan training with and playing for a Premier League club?

XLM Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Are some people actually saying being a feeder club for Barcelona, the team with the best youth set up in the world, wouldn't be amazing? Absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckyRover Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 What's the point of out Reserves? I put this guy on ignore ages ago. It would be so good that I refuse to believe it until it happens. Just think about our worldwide reputation. If it was true (can't see it myself) it would go some way to understanding why they got rid of Sam when they did. His style would have no future under an arrangement with Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue & White Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 What's the point of out Reserves? The reserves don't play in a competitive league like they do in Spain. If our reserves played in the Championship we wouldn't need to loan our young players out to see how they get on. You always seem to be forgetting that the English and Spanish leagues are culturally different and the game is played in a different way. Just because a player does well for us in the Premier League doesn't mean they'll do well in La Liga or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well thats Larsson Cup tied.

True Blue & White Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I put this guy on ignore ages ago. Well if you didn't put me on ignore like a child throwing hos toys out of his pram you would have seen that I didn't say it wasn't a good idea. Although having said that the notion that being anyone's feeder club is 100% positive is silly too. It would be so good that I refuse to believe it until it happens. Just think about our worldwide reputation. If it was true (can't see it myself) it would go some way to understanding why they got rid of Sam when they did.

True Blue & White Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just a question, where did Aston Villa got £24m from to sign Bent?? They really have to sell some players now? This is strange Because Randy Lerner is genuinely rich. He didn't give O'neill money not because he didn't have it but because he didn't trust him with it given he had made some big and bad signings.
