Youth: Pedro, Bojan, JDS, Thiago, Busquets, etc

[Solid Snake]

Talk about Barcelona's youth talents here.

Cantera vs Cartera

[Baby Face Nelson]

Pedro's goals speak for themself.

[Solid Snake]

Pedro is a jewel ... I'm sure he will consolidate in the starting 11 if he keeps like this. And I hope Pep gives Bojan more minutes.

[Baby Face Nelson]

Yes, Pedro has a very bright future.

Is he outscoring Ibra?

[Solid Snake]

No.

Did you know he's the only player to have scored in 6 major tournaments in one year?

[Baby Face Nelson]

I see Pedro easily beats Ibra in goals per game/minutes played ratio though.

[Solid Snake]

Thiago and Bojan played well yesterday

Jeffren played some minutes too

[Coconut85]

From what I've seen. Pedro, Bojan, and possibly Thaigo have a future with Barca. I havent really payed that much attention to Busquets. As for JDS, he's only played once or twice with the first team, but he does keep getting called up to practices/games for the 1st team so they [Barca] do have plans for him. It's kinda hard for JDS to get some minutes, considering Barca already has a solid CM... Xavi.

[Solid Snake]

Time will tell who will consolidate as a 1st choice sub or maybe even a starter...

Barcelona Agree Deal For 'Korean Messi'

The Blaugrana have snapped up the talented 13-year-old...

According to Sport, Barcelona have beaten a number of clubs including Real Madrid to the signing of South Korean sensation Sheng Ho Park.

The 13-year-old has been labelled as the 'Korean Messi' in his homeland and has already signed a sponsorship deal with Nike.

After impressing the Blaugrana scouts in a youth tournament late last year, Sheng Ho has been training at Ciutat Esportiva over the last few days.

The striker has impressed the coaching staff, and Sport claim that they said they had not seen anything like him in recent years.

The contract negotiations were concluded quickly in order to stave off interest from other clubs, and Sheng Ho will now join the Catalan giants' youth ranks in the summer.

Really good stuff from the young ones today. Busquets, Jeffren (goal), Bojan (2 goals!), Jonathan (really nice 1st touch)

[LosFerna]

barca do have a lot of impressive youth stars, wouldnt say they're as good as ours though

anyway one that comes to my mind is fontas young spaniard dont know much about him though but heard he's a prospect

[LosFerna]

also muniesa deserves a mention, the young promising CB in your youth ranks, his story is similar to messi's since he suffered an illness as a child



as a child he was always ahead of his age, he really is probably your next big thing

[Solid Snake]

Muniesa is awesome, I hope he keeps it up once he joins 1st team. Looks like we will have defense for a while: Pique & Muniesa

Pedro yet again

Pedro has a habit of appearing at important moments, and his goal at the Santiago Bernabeu was yet another example. The goal that made it 2-0 on Saturday was his 18th of the season.

At first, he looked like a boy with a magic wand. But nobody is talking about luck any more. Pedro is an exceptional player who always seems to deliver when it matters most. He has always enjoyed the manager’s faith and makes the most of every opportunity he is given, as he did at the Bernabéu.

“There are no words for what this boy can do”

After the game, Guardiola spoke about Pedro’s excellent 90 minutes. “He’s an incredible player. We all knew what good quality he is and that he was good enough for the team, but he’s offering more than we ever imagined. There are no words for what this boy has been doing this season. We are pleased and satisfied with his performances and I just hope he carries on as he has done until now.”

Sackloads of goals

At San Mamés, against Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup, Pedro scored his first goal of the 2009/10 season. In Madrid he took that tally up to 18 in all competitions, which have included the extra time winner in the European Super Cup against Shakhtar (1-0) and a goal in the World Club’s Cup Final that Barça also won (2-1).

Right or left

Not only is Pedro hot in front of goal, but the Canary Islander is also highly versatile. He can play with either foot, so he can play on either side of the attack or down the middle. At the Bernabeu he played on the left in the first half and the right in the second, and caused headaches for the home time either side of the break.
