Contract renewal for Crosas

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas (20) and his agent Ramón Arasa found yesterday an agreement with the club on a contract renewal.

Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain had promised the player to seriously raise his salary once he was fully part of the first team squad and the deal has now be closed. This doesn't have any effect on the duration of Crosas' contract, that still expires in the summer of 2011.

The renewal doesn't change anything about the situation of the player at the club, so Barcelona and the Catalan midfielder keep on looking for a club where Crosas can play on loan next season. Crosas has already rejected several foreign offers since he prefers to play in the Primera División.

I think Crosas will be a great player and it's a shame that he wont be a part of the first-team this season but i guess we have too many central midfielders (Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Hleb, Marquez, Touré).

Do not forget that Marquez may have to play as a defender while Milito is gone. And that Iniesta may have to play on the left wing.

But then again Guddy maybe won't leave either.

Good that they didnt sell him tho. I really think he'll make the first team in a season or two.

This is the kind of player we need to hold onto, and let him earn a chance in the first team.

It is important for contiued youth development that players like Crosas are given a legitimate chance.

Well at least it looks like the club is finally showing Crosas a little bit of respect for once. Why they continued to dangle him in the wind for so long I'll never know, and gave the impression that the club wasn't acting as loyal to him as he was to them. Hopefully that's all water under the bridge now and Crosas can have a bit more peace of mind, - even if his future is still a bit clouded at least he will be walking around with a bit more spare change in his pocket.

good news, especially if he is gonna be the next guardiola! makes sense to bring him through and if he has the quality use him as the youth academy players give their all for the club.
