I don't like to talk about Barca, but I still have some thought about their youngsters.
They possess amazing youth program, but the generation of Messi, Iniesta, Fabregas,... was a gift from Lady Luck. After Busquet, there is no player I think has the potential to become world class.
Thiago Alcantara can't help when Xavi need a rest. Xavi could push Guardiola out of the club about ten years ago, but I don't see any player now has the same ability.
IMO, Bojan, Pedro & Tello are of one kind, quick & small forward with good shoot. Without the help of Messi, they are normal youngsters.
Even Busquet can't be a starter of other teams.
