Re: Barcelona fielding 11 players ALL from their youth ranks
Higuaín homegrown? Bitch, please! I can't speak for Marcelo but everyone, I mean EVERYONE knew about Pipita in Argentina before he left River for Madrid. He was already a huge talent.
Re: Barcelona fielding 11 players ALL from their youth ranks
Marcelo was 18-19 when he came to RM. I think that is enough to judge if he is RM youth product.

Has to be atleast three years in the club while being under 19 to be considered youth doesn't it?eelir wrote:Marcelo was 18-19 when he came to RM. I think that is enough to judge if he is RM youth product.

According to UEFA, he is home grown.

So, Higuain joined RM when he was 19yo, and is RM homegrown. Seams legit!

As a Boca fan I give all the credit to River for developing a talent such as Higuaín. No point in trying to take credit for something you haven't been a part of.

@vanDEEZ - it does not, but the topic is about homegrown players, so this is marginally relevant. If we go by these assumption every team can say they have about 10 - 20% more homegrown players.

Although if Higgy can move to RM at 19 and be called their youth product then we also have Mikel too

Stop the Pipa bullshit. He's Argentine born and bred, unlike Messi
Re: Barcelona fielding 11 players ALL from their youth ranks
Lol, if pipa is rm youth then so is gago cause they joined in the same season I believe.

Best not to even dignify it with a response, Madrid fans would only look silly if they tried to push him as a representative of their cantera (did he ever play for castilla?)danyjr wrote:Stop the Pipa bullshit. He's Argentine born and bred, unlike Messi

But We've already seen this with Ajax and Bayern have a similar policy and are in better shape so I dont really think its that big a deal. United have produced the best talent as well, Cleverley, Welbeck etc both could start for any team... so yea...
The point imo is not whether other teams have done it before us but the amount of talent coming through. Man U may have brought up Welbeck and Cleverley but Barca have brought up the likes of Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Valdes, Busquests, Fabregas, Arteta, Pique, T.Motta... Class in every single player and its through La Masia that talent has been sighted by professional teams and look where they are now...

Re: Barcelona fielding 11 players ALL from their youth ranks
Except that Trezegol ended up playing for France
He wouldnt' have been able to make it on Argentina's team anyway

To be fair he's won more with France than Argentina have won in the last 10-15 years.
