Makes no sense. Do you or do you not have a policy of only homegrown players? Simple answer. Once again, Real Madrid is the fixation of Barca fans. I'd be celbrating the treble still if I were aBarca fan, or at the very least, be in a Barca forum.

Can't understand Barca fans saying Madrid did'nt make success.

Casillas, Raul, Guti, De La Red, Granero, Soldado, Negredo, Mata, Arbeloa all Real Madrid academies, and Gago, Higuain, and Marcelo were not that stars when they were bought.

Real have a great academy, loan them out instead of wasting them.

Conveniently they "forgot". All of a sudden, they have a "homegrown" policy! Classic!

No one has a policy of only homegrown players who said they did?

Man you're thick. I'm not defending Madrid, but I hate how people just assume Barca are these angels that are incapable of doing no wrong - mind you they have had some of the best players in the world in their history and appreciate them for the way they dictate themselves on the pitch - but in the transfer market, they may very well be just as bad as Madrid.

Did you already forget that Dani Alves was purchased from a rising club in Seville for €35 million that could rise to €41 million?

They bought Henry (still a great striker at the time) for €24 million, and the season before that they were going to buy him or nearly triple that ammount.

They bought Eto'o for a fee of €24 million in 2004.

Don't get me started on Ronaldinho, considering Barca outbid Man Utd for his contract - and that same year Laporta went on record saying he wanted David Beckham of all players.

Out of their current squad, Eidur cost them €12 million, Yaya Toure for €9 million, Caceres for €16.5 million, Keita's buyout clause alone was €14 million, Milito for €20.5 million, Hleb for £11.8 million, and Abidal for €15 million.


So next time you think Barca are the angels opposite Madrid - just remember this post and realize that they're just as bad...but nowhere near as prestigious.

P.S. - What Madrid are doing is wrong on so many levels. But they're no the only ones out there doing it.

most of those players never play, are sold and then bought back if they turn out successful...

sirrealmadrid, you are not answering my question about whether you see that madrid are killing football.

and i am not a barca fan chadov, i am a completely neutral (up until now) liverpool fan.

I just told my father the news. He's actually really worried about our title chances next season. But he told me this. It will be so much sweeter if we do win it again. Higuain is one of the few players I liked in your squad. Also Klass. Niether deserve this. With robben kaka ronaldo and benzema there's surely no place for raul higuain and huntelaar. Can't wait for the season to start. all I can hope for is that we sign villa. As a Barcelona fan I won't lie to you all this transfers are making me nervous.

Im pretty sure those players came from La Masia. What was the transfer fee for a 12 year old back in the day? OH wait there wasn't Messi's parents pack their bags and headed to Barcelona for a tryout.

Well Barca didn't give Pique, Fabregas time to prove. Willing to get them now. Pique is already back.

That is big teams, they can't rely on a team full of young guys.

I agree that is a bit of a coincidence us having so many quality Spanish players right now, although we do have a much larger home grown base than mostly every big club.

are barca doing it to the same extent of madrid? no, obviously not. you only listed 4 players who were bought for big money, and even that big money is pocket change to madrid this season. real have bought as many players as that this transer window, all for MASSIVE money.

yaya toure for 9 million euros, which back in the old economic climate was about 6-7 million pounds is nothing, and gudjohnsen was just a poor signing. caceres is a young player who they will probably nurture into a great defender, and 11 million for hleb isnt exactly much.

do you get the gist of what im saying? and i never said barca are angels, i said they have a mostly homegrown first team, which is true, as most of there star players are homegrown.

can you please refrain from using petty insults, i had half a mind to not respond to your post after you called me 'thick'. ever heard of an opinion?

What difference does money make when you're inevitably prizing away another clubs top players?

What's the difference from buying Ronaldo for £50 million to £80 million? either way you're buying him.

P.S. - is calling someone 'thick' considered a petty insult now-a-days? grow a pair lalala.

I could careless about MAdrid I just hate when people compare Barcelona to Real Madrid. Barcelona is about Cantera and the integrity of the club while Real Madrid is about Cartera and throwing money to get whatever they want.

Someone should make a Barca thread. I can't cause it's simply wrong

Fintendo or any Barca fan you do it. It will be the most successful La Liga thread after this one
