I mean, we did appoint a manager who fielded seven academy graduates in a Champions League Final (with another four on the bench), so I don't think those hoping to see a few more of our lads make the step up were being unduly naïve

In fairness that stat is misleading considering 5 of the 7 were long established members of the side before Pep took over.

None of Pique, Busquets or Pedro were established in the first team prior to Pep taking charge, so that’s not true

I was referring to Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol & Valdes. Forgot about Pique to be fair.

Puyol didn't start that game

Puyol didn't start that game

He also signed for Barca at 17. not really a product of la Masia

Starting vs Leipzig in 20 if interested.

Impressive debut, I think (and hope) we'll end up spending that £40m if keeps improving his performances for a season or two.

The lad looks very impressive on those clips. Stood out more than he did in our EDS team in truth.

Slightly harsh, he was EDS player of the year at 17 in a team with the likes of Palmer, Delap and Mcatee
