Roger Riera's grand return!
Thought the day would never come but on the 28th January it happened, the former youth captain Roger Riera returned to Barça. After 5 years away, playing in Spain, England and Holland, he returned on a free to lead the defence of Garcia Pimienta's men.
It may not sound or seem like a crucial signing but I guarantee it will be by the end of the season. Riera is a leader, something the team needs at the back. Ramos Mingo, Comas and even Mika Marmol have done well this year (can't forget about Mingueza either) but Riera will come in and calm those youngsters around him. That's his biggest aim for the rest of the season, to relax the youth surrounding him and help them implement the Barça style.
We can go on forever about the talent coming through La Masia right now but I thought the first blog on my new format would be interesting if it was about a former product of La Masia who has returned. Let me know what you guys think.
