Also, hasn't Barcelona only been recently come back to using youth players due to financial constraints imposed on them by La Liga rules? For a while, no new players from La Masia got starts in the first time.In the starting 11, only 4 out 11 were from Barca Youth. The others were bought. So it's not wrong.
4 out of 11 starter is still quite a lot. almost half.In the starting 11, only 4 out 11 were from Barca Youth. The others were bought. So it's not wrong.
You have to taken into context about the time that the manga started in 2015, during the early days of one of the worst drought of talents ever from La masia. There are basically no academy players that managed to break through the academy into the first team. And those that have potential like Kubo, Grimaldo,...can't compete against the literaly treble winning team that Barca have at the time. So when things started going down hill, La masia can't produce any replacements for vacant spot, which led to panic and incompetent signing with big money. There is a reason why Fati was so hyped when he first break through, bro was the genuine first big talent ever since the 87' generation and why his current situation is so damn sad. Hopefully with the 2004-2007 generation, which is stated to be EXTREMELY talent, it would be differentThis arc likes to preach about how Barca isn't looking at La Masia and rather buy players from other big leagues.

too soon to discard him, bro is what, 21-22? And Brighton this season is not exactly doing good either. I still hold out hope for him tho, Barca desperately needs a good LW and if Fati can regain even 70% of his potential it would be godsendHe ended up flopping at Brighton lul
what a stupid comment to make, it is not like the author can reference the present time. The reference he is using is clearly the Bartomeu era barca when they started buying players like crazy and pretty much ignored La Masia. If you are not a casual football fan you also know they are using more youth players now partly because they are cash strapped and can't afford players they want.This arc likes to preach about how Barca isn't looking at La Masia and rather buy players from other big leagues.

Cause of Barca's financial situation from Bartomeu's reign, that's what he's criticising and you're totally disregarding that fact.This arc likes to preach about how Barca isn't looking at La Masia and rather buy players from other big leagues.
