I have mixed feeling about this... On the one hand it would be bad for us, because most youngsters would want to go and play for Barcelona, because they are the best side in the world. And that would mean less youngsters will join our academy. I don't know why they would set up an academy right next to us, why not some where else England. If i was going to start an academy for Barcelona i would pick somewhere in South america, for obvious reasons. I just think setting up an Academy in England is kind of weird. But on the other hand, This is good for England, and i mean very good. How long have we all been saying that we need to play good football, This academy will teach them how to play the Barca way, and that's only a good thing. Also i'm sure we would be able to steal a few of their youngsters, because right now i don't see any youngster breaking through into Barcelona's first team, unless they are world beaters. Even Thiago Alcantara is having a hard time breaking in to the first team, and honestly i would be shocked if he is not going to be one of the best players in the world in a few years time. Overall, there are positives and negatives about Barcelona starting their Academy right next to us, i for one think there are more positives, because this can only help the game we all love, Football.
