Who's Next to be Promoted?

Who do you think will follow the footsteps of Carles Puyol, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Lionel Messi, and Bojan to be promoted from the B team and a regular for the first team. We all know that young prodigies Gai Assulin and Thiago Alcantara will spend at least another year for the reserves. The list of the reserves that Pep included for the pre-season are:

  • David Corcoles, 23, right back (former Valencia B)
  • Abraham, 22, midfielder
  • Sergi Busquets, 19, midfielder (son of former Barca keeper Carles Busquets)
  • Victor Sanchez, 20, midfielder
  • Victor Vazquez, 21, forward
  • Jeffren, 20, left winger
  • Pedrito,20, right winger
I wonder why Gai and Thiago aren't there. Maybe they are too young, by the way, not all of them can have the privelige that Messi and Bojan had, being promoted on an early age. Hope that they won't follow the footsteps of Cesc Fabregas, Fran Merida, Gerard Pique (although he's back), and recently Marc Valiente who left for Sevilla Atletico (Keita and Alves' replacement, lol).
