Barça has returned to look at the Masia to reinforce the first team, but must keep an eye on the dangerous message it is sending to the homegrown players. The last departures point that there are few opportunities and too many agreements in which they are used as bargaining chips

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The season 2019-20 is in a moment critic for the FC Barcelona, that has to step forward in the fight by the titles. In spite of the slip in the Supercopa of Spain, the Catalans follow with options in LaLiga, the Champions and the Glass of Rey, although they have to park the doubts that pursue them and recover the character and the reliability that from does years turns them into candidates and favourites to everything.

In the last months, the Barcelona are usual protagonists in the market of signings. The intention is to consolidate to a group of present and future that was smart to short-half term to prolong the recent series of successes, but although the reform of the staff has gone advancing, have produced several setbacks that have forced to give numerous twists in the planning. There are few negotiations that have been calm, and the incógnitas have dotted several windows of traspasos in which it has jumped of surprise in surprise.

The leaf of route is marked by a mix between incorporations and canteranos, although these útimos receive a dangerous message. With Ernesto Valverde were demanded in numerous occasions for the trainings and Quique Setién has opened them with more clarity the door of the first team, but while the words and the gestures aim in a direction, the businesses direct in one totally contrary.

It is evident that the Camp Nou is not for all, but the requirement, and the excellence, do not have to confuse with descontrol. The list of high and drops reveals that, except exceptions like the recently arrived Riqui Puig or Ansu Fati, every time are more the youngsters that do the cases, and in too many occasions are used like coin of change to recover the maltrechas arks of the club and reinvertir in talent of out.

The needs evaluate them the experts of the entity to the detail, but in occasions could cover with players of house. A clear example is Junior Firpo, of the one who the time revelerá if it was or no a good bet. To do him place like escudero of Jordi Alba it was necessary to invest more than 20 million euros, and went out Juan Miranda and Marc Cucurella with cessions and traspasos with options of repurchase. Each case is a world and it is necessary to insist in that no all reach the level required, but before that play it with youngsters of other teams, could not check if it suffices with the perlas own?

To the Barça arrive him more warnings

It does scarce days, Dani Elm explained reason left the Masia in 2014, with a justification that gives him and removes him reason to the Barça. The one of Terrassa confessed that the sportive project that offered him in Croatia, nearer to the first team, was more promising, and finally the time has finish revealing that this was a good option for his development. The hastes are not good advisers and in the City Condal is more normal to throw of patience with the promises, since the pressure that it is necessary to handle is infinitely upper to which, for example, can have the Dinamo of Zagreb.

But it seems too precipitated that with urgencies in the first team give green light to the goodbye of canteranos without testing them at least, and do not study alternative roads for a finance that is turning into too dependent of the purchase-sale. With Luis Suárez of drop for four months, leave escape to Carles Pérez that it could not returning and to Abel Ruiz seems too risky, although it only was by the possibility of, before leaving money in the Boatend on duty, cover the gap with a footballer that would be entirely free.
