Who do you think has the best youth acemady spain

[Ravelli]

Real Madrid doesn´t educate youngsters from the beginning they do what they do best buy them!
And now according to a friend of mine who´s a big Real Madrid fan they have pretty much dismantled their academy to afford their big signings, too bad for them god for other teams like blaugrana F.C Barcelona.

Yeah and of course my answer is Barcelona.

I don't really see how Barcelona's can be beaten.

Regardless of letting players leave the academy, imagine how much they make those players grow within a few years? They could probably take someone like John Fleck or someone younger and put them in the academy system for a few years, they would most likely learn so much.

Barcelona, without a doubt.

Barca by a mile
They just seem to be ******** out good players

 

[Alex]

I think its all too easy to vote Barca, yes they have brought through amazing players but they can scout the world for the best 14 year olds etc and then pass them off as their own products.

For me it is Athletic Bilbao, amazing with their Basque tradition.

Bojan isnt good

Ridiculous claim imo.

But do Barcelona actually make these players or are they stealing them at young ages?

I mean players like Messi... He was "stolen" at the age of 13 from Newells Old Boys I believe

I voted At. Madrid... which I realised after was a stupid decision. I was thinking of Torres, Aguero etc., but they've hardly had anyone else. Barca's is a bit special. Real Madrid's has never been that good, mainly because they spend so much on established players.

They bought Aguero for £20million from Independiente in 06/07 didn't they? :S

Barcelona.

An academy that produces players like Fabergas, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique, Valdes and Messi is a pretty special academy.

 

[rrrrrrrrrr]

For me it's Barça 1st and Blibao 2nd, even though I hate these 2 teams.

plus many more in the older days real madrid just sell their players

 

[fmguy]

This one's a no brainer. Barcelona.

 

[Quietus]

Always obvious it was going to be Barca. Voted Bilbao because their 'Basque-only' policy kicks ***

 

[NunoPeixinho]

Bojan isnt good

how can you say that bojan isnt good? at least he scores when a 'world class striker' like zlatan cant, very promising youngster

 

[gormo095]

zlantan is a flop

 

[GodCubed]

Though to be fair, not as much of a flop as, say, Benzema.

 

[Irish Scouse]

zlantan is a flop

Not really, he helps out the side with his height which they lack. They dont need a out and out striker with Mesi.

 

[gormo095]

look how much money they paid for zlatan benzema has potienral
