Barcelona in recent times has to rely on buying talented and established players to bring the club forward, this is in part due to the decline in La Masia youth players talent and readiness to step up into the first team and make an impact.
At one point of time, when almost all first team players were promoted from the La Masia football academy, it shows it cannot be repeated and that is a mere coincidence when they have such a talented crop of young players in that particular generation, they still need player with inherent football talents and trained them to fit into Barcelona footballing philosophy. Thats one reason.
Thanks to the success that a team filled with mostly La Masia graduates dominated club football for a period of years, every aspiring youngster whose parents has the means would want to be trained at La Masia, so they are accepting young players who may not have been talented and good enough to be part of the Barcelona club, the club La Masia academy main objective is to select players who can rise up and play for the first team with the training. And training is one thing, they need to have the necessary qualities to be able to make it. So why the club accept such players?
Even though even seemingly talented players do not always reach their potentials.
