FC BARCELONA

Clubs across Europe tempt the emerging values of Barça despite being shielded and the majority.
Tello, the last to exploit and under contract until 2013 and is the focus of several 'big'.

The cantera azulgrana is hotter each passing day. Grassroots football azulgrana not to generate talent and European clubs do not lose sight. Nobody forgets that Arsenal is always ready with the cane, as it did in its day with Cesc and a few months ago, with Toral. But not only is the club 'gunner' who tempts the young talents. In recent months, given the strong commitment of Pep Guardiolayouth of the filial pull to overcome the many casualties of the first team, the directive Barcelona has found that they collect the bids for these talents.

The latest exploit has been Cristian Tello and has already attracted interest from clubs such as Valencia, Málaga, Benfica and Liverpool, who does not miss that out of contract in 2013 and that, therefore, is just over a year to be free. Andoni Zubizarreta something also noted in his red book and you want to solve as soon as possible by extending the contract of the squad.

Not only receives offers Tello, whose contract has a loophole to try to take it, but also those who are already shielded by the board azulgrana. likes of Isaac Cuenca, Sergi Roberto, Marc Bartra, Martin Montoya, Rafinha Alcántara or Jonathan Dos Santos have received calls from hustlers of all stripes eager to do business faster (with transfers or disposals) ... but also of serious clubs.

Because that's where the concern lies FC Barcelona: it's not only willing intermediaries movements quick money, but also are finding many offers real, hard cash, clubs French, Italian, German, Portuguese and English.

Some offers, being serious, involve a danger that footballers are raised go looking for more money and more minutes. FC Barcelona confident in his players a lot because he knows they have a huge incentive: the large number of canteranos that pulled the Pep Guardiola. Here it is to train and play with the first team is not a promise without foundation, is something tangible and that many of them have already tasted. Then yes, there is another side of the coin, first team quality is so spectacular that take minutes is very expensive. That is, there may be young people who think that being in Barça will not play great and that the reserves are too small and therefore weigh a way out.

The termination clauses of all those who have gone or will go, except the Deulofeu-are high but when a player is 'poison' money is hard to have it at home. And Pep and Zubi are very clear: a distaste better not be anybody.

The FC Barcelona youth system is in the media spotlight is not a secret world. The lower levels of the organization azulgrana are a reef and are constant scouts attending the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and Mini Estadi.

One day I certainly will not forget the club is the day after the win (4-0) BATE Borisov in the 6th round of the Champions League group stage on 6 December last 2011. That day, nine of the ten holders of Pep Guardiola was the quarry. All but Pinto and Maxwell. And on the bench, five of the seven substitutes were formed at Barça. All but the goal Oier Olazabal and Kiko Femenía. And the superiority of the Belarusian team, which fell to goals from Sergi Roberto, Montoya and Pedro (2), was overwhelming.

The international reaction after the European bashing La Masia was immediate and overwhelming: the club received ten bids for ten players other than the cantera. Aware that the protagonists against BATE were not regular starters, clubs Europeans believed that FC Barcelona claudicaría more easily to their demands. In the club azulgrana, while the feeling was bittersweet: pleased that Europe covet their pearls, but on the other side believes that this can be distracting. (via MD)

Zubizarreta confirmed that next season there will be four team players who will form the first team.

Jonathan Dos Santos, Martin Montoya, Marc Bartra and Marc Muniesa be first team players. At the same time denied that Barça has planned this summer to fish back Oriol Romeu and said the goalkeepr Oier Olazabal and Sergi Roberto remain in the reserves. He also said they do not expect a summer moved, in terms of signings. (via SPORT)

Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is ­planning a major shake-up to help launch a full-scale attempt to sign Gareth Bale this summer.

Guardiola has put Tottenham flyer Bale at the top of his transfer wish-list, ahead of Valencia’s Jordi Alba and AC Milan defender Thiago Silva. They are also keen to land Brazilian ­superstar Neymar to strengthen their forward line.

Barca are ready to offload 20-year-old forwards Isaac Cuenca and Cristian Tello and midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos, 21, to help fund the move for Bale and are also willing to propose a players-plus-cash deal.

They are prepared to listen to offers from England similar to the buy-back deal which took Oriol Romeu to Chelsea in the summer.

Arsenal are watching developments on Cuenca and Tello, while Chelsea are keeping tabs on all three youngsters.

Tottenham insist that Bale is not for sale, but may be facing a major battle to fend off interest from the European champions. (via Daily Mirror)

The integration of Dos Santos is ahead a few months because of injury casualties and the temporary absence of Seydou Keita.

Jonathan Dos Santos is one of a template Josep Guardiola from today. This was decided at the meeting yesterday in the office of first team coach Pep himself, the director of professional football Andoni Zubizarreta, the technical secretary of soccer training Albert Valentín and Narcís Julià professional coordinator of Barcelona.

The drops for numerous players' lesion have been forced to resort to Guardiola again Barça B players, a formula that has always given good results. Isaac Cuenca today officially sign his new contract, which expires in 2015, and becomes the first team member for all purposes. Also, It was scheduled to have Jonathan Dos Santos first team tab from the 2012-13 season. Circumstances have made the integration of the first team midfielder Barca is a few months later Guardiola has enough to deal effectively with the second half of a season full of compromises.

The coaching staff were evaluating among other yesterday this decision aspects of the area of the professional football, and they valued that Jonathan's absence won't be so decisive for the subsidiary because in these moments Eusebio Sacristán is having Marc Muniesa so that makes the pivote functions for before the defense and the young canterano is working in this new mission.

Mexican midfielder of Barca B expects this year to prove he is ready to make the jump to the first team.

Mexican midfielder of Barça B , Jonathan Dos Santos , has said he hopes this year will reach the "moment" to show he is ready to jump into the first team, especially because the Malian Seydou Keita will be absent about a month by the African Nations Cup dispute.

"Since the beginning of the season this year I had to be mine. I am excited and I hope my time," said in an interview with EFE Barca player, who this season has been called repeatedly by Pep Guardiola .

Indeed, Guardiola hinted this week that given the low Keita by the dispute African team championship, could possibly have a player squad for the vacancy, but neither said a hundred percent and he added that his assistant had to study it technical support.

That is why although Dos Santos knows that this season is making "merit" in the subsidiary to respond to a possible call from the first team coach, admits he is not the only one who could choose to earn that position.

"There are many players who can replace, as Sergi Roberto . I will be here taking advantage of every day with my team and working to the max ", explained:" I have to show much yet. "

"Proving", repeated several times the Mexican. And is that despite being the senior international for his country and a permanent fixture in the midfield in the second division Eusebio Sacristan, the younger brother of former Barca player Giovani Dos Santos has an obsession.

After being on the line last summer to participate in a debate party with prostitutes during the concentration of the America's Cup for his country, Jonathan has focused this season to regain the confidence of his club, technicians and the fans, after being sanctioned by the federation of their country and apologize to Mexican fans and Barca.

"I know I'm working fine, I'm doing a good season with my team and I know Guardiola can count on us anytime, "he explains. "And merits" to regain that trust, she adds cautiously, "I think there is some."

More mature and settled in the subsidiary, which is one of the pillars, the club rewarded his channeling with a renewal until 2015. Guardiola also has been involved in several meetings with the first team, as a few minutes in a win over the Milan in the Champions League in selfsame San Siro..

"What I can contribute to the first team? If you already have everything up to have! Jokes, but not their ability to add" a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of teamwork and a little touch. "

In any case, his head is now in the reserves, who yesterday escaped him two points against Numancia in the Miniestadi, which have only managed ten of thirty points to be seasonal.

"We were not at our best. It was a tough game and although we knew we had to win in the end the draw is not such a bad result," he noted. "But maybe he adds self-miss by a little more forcefully earlier. We always have a goal lead and we draw, take more of firepower both back and front. We must also put them up." (via MD)

The B player is completing a major campaign with the reserves and dreams of more minutes with Guardiola.

Oriol Romeu's march to Chelsea together to the long lesion of which is about to leave Ilie Sánchez has forced Eusebio to be invented a face pivot to the current season. Subsidiary decided to bet on Jonathan dos Santos and the certain thing is that the yield of the Mexican this being excellent, until the point of having been transformed so far into the best footballer in Barça B.

Always used to playing inside, the squad has reached its maturity in a very compromised position that the smallest of the Dos Santos seems to dominate as his life had played midfield. The Mexican international was renewed in late November with FC Barcelona until June 2015 in a deal sponsored by Pep Guardiola.

Now, with the prolonged absence of Seydou Keita, the player of the subsidiary could have a golden opportunity to start earning a place in the first team despite the long list of midfielders which Santpedor account. The Malian leave with his team after Sunday's game against Espanyol and at least, will be on African soil until early February.

Although there is no confirmation on this, not be ruled out that Guardiola quote start thinking Dos Santos workouts next week to cover the floor of Keita, a very important player for Mr. Barca.

The Mexican has aroused the interest of many Spanish and European clubs, especially Zaragoza, who insisted over and over again to get his services. However, the club dismissed his departure in the summer and will now do the same, in line with the player himself, who thinks only succeed with the shirt of FC Barcelona.

Dos Santos arrived in Barcelona on Monday in Mexico, where he spent the holidays with his parents, and on Tuesday he trained with the first team. Nevertheless, it entered the list for the Cup match and will be available Eusebio against Numancia on Saturday. From there, `will you have to keep Jona excellent Pep level and show that you can place in the first team he has played five games this season (one of League, two of Cup and other two of Champions League).

Cuenca, Montoya, Bartra and Sergi Roberto part of the first team next season, which may also be Dos Santos.

The spate of renovations that have occurred in the last days of Barca players 'B' in specifying that next season the first team players will respond to the intent of Pep Guardiola to build the new boat project, the 2012-2013 season, relying again on the quarry as a complement to the cracks that are currently leading the first team. Up to four players who currently have the tab of the subsidiary will play next season in the Primera Division does not change much if the plan has established the coach. It is about Isaac Cuenca, Martin Montoya, Marc Bartra and Sergi Roberto, with the possibility also that Jonathan Dos Santos is the recruit. The Mexican renewed his contract in early December until June 2015, but that does not mean that Barca are thinking about a possible transfer of the player this summer. In fact, one of the players from the reserves with more offers. If the aspirations of the entity that came, it would not be a problem for Guardiola to continue a player who can act both in the center of the field as right back. What has made it clear that the Mexican is if he stays, will play the first team and not the subsidiary.

In all other cases, it also relies heavily on the four to join the staff of the First Division. The first thing to be resolved is the renewal of Isaac Cuenca, contract ending in June 2012 and still has not reached an agreement. The two parties have shown their willingness to fix the issue and once it is achieved, the end will be the first team for all purposes. In the case of Martin Montoya, who extended contract until 2014, will be the alternative to Alves on the right side. His progress has been dramatic and is seen as the winger for the future. As Bartra, his promotion could go endetrimento of Fontan, who is having little prominence. The player at the moment, not think about leaving. One in which much hope is being deposited Roberto Sergi. That is why even be sold to Keita, club officials have decided not to Oriol Romeu playoffs and give opportunities to Reus. The plan is already underway. (via MD)

Cuenca will start but Rafinha and Tello can play.

Isaac Cuenca is shaping up as a starter in a front that could complement Pedro Rodriguez and Cesc Fàbregas in a game against L'Hospitalet to serve as a testbed for the future, after the serious injury to David Villa . The end, already installed in the first team since Ibrahim Afellay was 'broke' in October, will return to the starting lineup after performing in the second half of the Club World Cup semi-final against Al-Sadd.

Cristian Tello , another specialist in the Dodge, and Rafinha, alternating the position of false '9 'with the interior, may also have his minutes tonight. Both debuted as the highest in the first leg of the November 9 copera.

All of them exercised yesterday in the second session since the return of Japan along with four kids over subsidiary the defenders Martin Montoya , who was congratulated by Pep Guardiola after yesterday renewed until 2014, and Marc Muniesa and midfielders Jonathan dos Santos and Sergi Roberto. The first three numbers occupying the four places for players with tab B. Dani Alves , he will not play, returned to work with the group although it could go on holiday on Monday afternoon with Messi, Mascherano, Adriano, Maxwell and Keita. Abidal joined them on Tuesday.
