It is generally believed that new Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola will take several players he got to know when coaching the Barcelona B team with him to the first team. Both main Catalan sport papers made a list of four players who they think could be promoted in the summer.
El Mundo Deportivo
- centre forward Víctor Vázquez (21)
- polyvalent midfielder Víctor Sánchez (20)
- left wing attacker Gai (17)
- attacking midfielder Thiago Alcántara (17)
Sport
- polyvalent midfielder Víctor Sánchez (20)
- midfielder Abraham (22)
- left winger Jeffrén (20)
- wing attacker Pedrito (20)
Sport claims that Gai Assulin (read more here) and Thiago Alcántara (read more here) will have to wait one more year before they join the first team.
This season, Víctor Sánchez played 60 minutes with the first team in the cup game against Alcoyano and 1 minute in the Liga game against Almería. Pedrito played five minutes against Valladolid and two minutes against Murcía. Víctor Vázquez played 13 minutes against Recreativo. Jeffrén (picture) made his debut for the first team last season in the cup game against Badalona, playing 29 minutes.

I certainly miss Valiente on both lists...
Abraham? Pedrito?
Gai should stay one more year at Barça B, if it would be in Segunda B, even better. Same goes for Thiago.
I'd like to see Jeffren, who is reportedly one of the best players in the B-team this year, and Valiente to get some minutes.
Valiente was already rumoured to take the step last summer. If he doesn't do it now, it will probably never happen.
Jeffren is also rumoured to be a possible first team guy for a while, but it seems nowadays difficult to get there if you're not a super talent like Messi, Giovani or Bojan.
I mean: before we had players like Oleguer or Gabri, no top players at all but good to add to the squad. Apparently the club now prefers to buy that kind of second-rank players.
Maybe Gai can leave one year on loan?
This's not serious.
We can't revive our team with players like Pedrito. It's ridicilous.
From what I heard Gai and Thiago are talents for the future as for Jeffren, Abraham and Pedrito they will make excelent squad players. Don't believe for one second that these will be part of the first XI they will be back up players and probably mostly show in Copa matches
i guess a player like Thiago can join the first team, he's so mature for his age, got a great vision of the field, decisive passes and great dribbling skills.. he would act great as a backup player. As for Gui, I guess a loan for a year or so to ajax or whatever would preparehim so well to join the barca first team
