Controversial signings above the quarry: insignia of Bartomeu

One of the most controversial politics that characterised the presidential period of Josep María Bartomeu in front of the FC Barcelona, went the one of the odd signings that the sportive direction made in distinct moments, independently of the one who was the on duty sportive director. Incidentally, this situation tornó more unpleasant because said incorporations deprived to the canteranos of the club of the already of by himself scarce opportunities to debut and settle in the first team.

Anybody understood to the Barcelona when it launched by a lateral stranger Brazilian right called Douglas Pereira, the one who landed in the club with 25 years in 2014 from the Sao Paulo, in return of four million euros and, after an infinity of cessions, went with the letter of freedom in 2019, course to the Besiktas. Neither it comprised , except that it went by mere economic lucre, the arrive of the Colombian Yerry Mina to the team blaugrana in January of 2018, from the also Brazilian Palmeiras, in return of almost 12 million euros and sold to the Everton by more than 30 millions after contesting only six meetings in the Camp Nou.

Later, at the beginning of 2020, the Barcelona closed his first controversial barter with the Juventus of Turín, when exchanging to the promising Venezuelan attacker Alejandro Marqués, by Matheus Pereira, another Brazilian that had arrived to the "Vecchia Signora" in 2017 and that had gone through an enésima quantity of loans and the one who at present goes on doing life in the filial Catalan. Casually, some weeks after this movement, the team culé saw in the obligation to bring to a forward to occupy the square of the lesionado Luis Suárez, by what decided to invest almost 20 million euros in the Danish Martin Braithwaite the one who, although it has seen voluntarioso when it has had minutes, has not finished to be the acting ideal that expected .

Finally, regarding the exotic and inexplicables signings made by Bartomeu and his board, one that was not very very seen and that besides has not had a lot of luck has been Matheus Fernandes, the one who arrived, to the equal that Mina, from the Palmeiras. After a cession in the Valladolid, where hardly could see minutes by the injuries, the also exjugador of the Botafogo has a number in the first team of the Barça, but his opportunities to play seem invalid.

Bartomeu made signings and forgot of the quarry

It is true that, in occasions, the filial is not an important low solution of the first team, because the youngsters no always are one hundred percent prepared to face the challenge to debut and suplir to the figures of the team. But, since the most controversial signings of Bartomeu went always acting (or not even this), What had happened if it saved the money that invested in them and instead insisted in rotar to the headlines with the players of the Barcelona B? Perhaps, the current staff of Koeman had now a pair of interesting elements "done home" and, especially, the economic situation of the club would not be so complex as in effect it is.

Instead of it brings to Douglas, can give continuity to Patric or to Sergi Palencia, those who were the sides of the Barça B in 2014. If it did not bring to Mina, could use to Jorge Cuenca, head office formed in the Barcelona school. Could save the money that cost Matheus Pereira and Braithwaite and have leading canteranos like Abel Ruíz or the same Marqués, the one who went the exchanged by the Brazilian ex Juventus. Matheus Fernandes Had not been necessary if Puig, Monchu or Collado had participation with the greater, further of the training. It is necessary to have always present how arrived to the titularity Valdés, Puyol, Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi and Messi, because the identity of the club goes through the use of the youngsters of the second team and because this will give him an enormous hand to the economy of the same.
