In truth, I have precious little time for any of these academies, including our own. It might give us all a rosy glow to see a local lad progress to the first team, but the idea of taking children and their families from the corners of the world and then farming them in a completely alien environment as if they were a product, we’ll that sits uneasy with me. Even the ‘poaching’ of kids from other teams seems a bit distasteful, but hey ho.
Erm, they are called canteras mate!
Otherwise, valid enough point.

If Garcia stays until next season and then leaves, would we not get a fee set by a tribunal. Similar to the dippers having to pay £6.5m for Danny Ings from Burnley in 2015. Or am I barking up the wrong tree.
Pretty much correct yes mate
Good point. Depends on if he is on a professional contract or not.
The compensation fees for youth players going from one club to another in England(not sure if that includes the whole of the UK) is vastly more than if they leave the country. One is set by the English FA and the other by UEFA (I think).

You sure you aren’t thinking of a different 4 letter word starting with the same 2 letters?Certainly a 'Cule'!

Cule is catalan for ass. I'm sure the explanation is coming, tbf, it is decent satire. If not highly ironic in this case.
I'm surprised he doesn't go out his way to spell it HeBarthelohna, with such commitment to authenticity!
Vidal also, when he was quite clearly finished at Bayern.
Yea, how about an almost 30 year old Paulinho from a Chinese club for €40m. There are too many to name. The only good signing they have made in recent years is De Jong who is a top player but they did pay €75m and another €300k per week in wages apparently, talk about over paying.

You can be the most gifted of the youngsters and still not be ready. There will be a minimum criteria needed to gain a spot and if you don't meet it, you won't get much of a sniff. Such is lifeWell, Garcia was a prospect as well until Pep started him regulary. If we don't give him minutes and start loaning him around, we will never have a real value of him. I m not an academy frenetic, but I would like to see one year with the first team, for the most gifted players, before sending them on loans. I really hated the way we managed Angelino and Maffeo. I remember the friendly in USA pre seson, I think, when Maffeo destroyed Sane, they even had a little fight, and Maffeo deserved to be kept with the squad then.
