Hopefully the first of many talented recruits to get our U21s back into the top tier of the league next season.

At 19 I would expect him to be one eased into the first team relatively quickly (subject to him settling and being good enough of course).

 

[Premier Quality]

Barcelona are our feeder club....

:icon_razz:

 

[Freddeno]

This is getting better every day..

 

[Lycan]

Hard as I might try I just can't imagine this guy in a Wolves shirt. I'm used to watching Stephen Hunt and Leigh Griffiths. :icon_lol:

 

[Freddeno]

In a boyband?

 

[Carrotdude]

Anyone know what position he plays?

 

[Lycan]

He was wearing No.6 in the video Norman Deeley posted.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Won the UEFA youth league with barcelona this season, starting 9 out of 10 matches. Must be fairly decent!

Exciting stuff, I love our new approach in the transfer market, especially with regularly adding young players to the development squad.

How's Albert Torras been getting on in the development side?

 

[YoungWolf]

That's quite impressive!

On Torras, I think the biggest issue was that he couldn't pay for so long, otherwise I think (and this is only judging from what people have said and reports on him) that he might have been up there pushing for a first team chance like Eusebio if he could have played all season. This year should be a big one for him, tougher at a higher level though

Indeed..exciting times ahead!

The site I've found says he's a central/defensive midfielder

That was my guess as he got 0 goals and 1 assist in his 9 starts in the 10 Uefa league games, excellent to have more future options in that area, very interesting to see how he and others develop.

From Barcelona to Wolverhampton. He won't notice the difference.

 

[Alan]

Why has Barca let him go? Have we promised him playing time?

Can't make sense of it, tbh.

 

[Freddeno]

i feel we must have promised him a big chance of playing time yeah..

Not good enough for them i suppose, obviously that's completely irrelevant to his suitability to Wolves, such in the difference between the clubs.

 

[YoungWolf]

To be honest if he's not good enough for Barcelona I don't see how he's going to be good enough for us.......

Seriously though, I would guess that Barcelona either didn't offer him a new contract OR he feels there is more chance of him getting closer to senior football elsewhere.
