Really ? Scotland ? Why ? What was Bernardo doing there ?

well judging by the pictures of a very attractive lady with Bernardo I think it's obvious what he was doing there !!

@FCBarca which part of Catalonia do you originate from exactly ?

I have never claimed to originate from Catalunya

I didn't say you had, I was presuming from your posts that there had to be a deep lying and emotional attachment with everything Barca.

I had not realised that you were just a fan who is fanatical about the club , as you appear to consider yourself as one of their own.

What about Cataluña?

That does not require originating from Catalunya

Didn't Thiago leave Barca and as yet still hasn't realised his dream to return to his motherland?

Ridiculous to think every single player to come through La Masia and leaves, then has an absolute throb on to return at the earliest opportunity

Don’t you think the likes of Horsfield, Evans, Barker, Brooks and other local City fans would jump at the chance of returning to City, if they were good enough?

If you say so . So your belief of everything Barca is just as a fan who likes to quote chapter and verse about anything and everything concerning the club.

I had assumed you must have the most intimate and informed knowledge of all the information you provide about the club , akin to being their PR and Media Officer.

Do you post an any other forums or just BM , and is that due the Pep being the manager ?

Absolutely, but every player that's come through the academy? If they had the choice of a couple of clubs? Football at the end of the day is a career you do what's right for your career irregardless of loyalties. That's just my take anyway

Oh my mistake, I assumed we were only talking about local fans of the club. Players like Kasper Schmeichel, Brahim Díaz and Jadon Sancho don’t really have that connection and don’t owe the club their careers (not that the local ones do either really). I see what you’re saying. Barca builds and espouses this very mythical, grandiose image of the club in the young kids heads so that may have a lasting impact, that added to the fact a lot of these kids have been in the academy when Barca were the best team in the world under Pep, with the worlds best player coming from that very academy.

Having said that I don’t think all Barca graduates do want to return. Mauro Icardi springs to mind, as does Takefusa Kubo.
