Seems to be getting regular starts and has played as both DM n CB.
Pep, any idea on the likelihood of Barca exercising the option of buying him back?
Can he still play for the youth team. Is there an age restriction for the youth squad ?
hmm.. Alaves seems heading for relegation. Celta n Sociedad aren't doing too great either. Its been a while since i have seen Tenerife in La Liga.
There's nithing said about exercising the option, but he still could play for Barcelona B if thy would. I don't know the exact rules, but last year we had a guy like Guerra who was 26 (and he had a contract for one more year so he would have been 27 by the end of this season). So I actually don't think there's an age limit, although I'm just guessing.
For the other youth teams there are age limits. It depends on the year you are born. For the Juvenil A team for example, you cannot be born before 1990.
Unless there's some miracle, Sevilla B will be relegated. I don't know if he would want to stay in that case (unless he's promoted to the first team). we'll follow what happens this summer.
