Meriton’s “Youth Policy” is another lie

Valencia have signed an agreement with youth player Javi Guerra for the player’s extension until June 2027. This deal has come after the midfielder’s explosion in the first team, and after showing the boy that he has a level to have played much more than what they have given him, especially in this 2023. His great goal against Valladolid makes him have Valencia in the standings today with two points left, without which relegation would be too close. But beyond that purpose, His minutes in Elche, in Cadiz and his complete game against Villarreal have shown that the boy has the level to play in the first team.

Now, once the extension is agreed, that they don’t sell us the bike that this is a club position, nor that they clearly knew the player had a level, because Valencia had made him an almost joking offer to extend it when they already clearly knew it in the offices, they might not believe it, that scouts from major European clubs had come through Paterna this year and wanted to take him away.

Guerra is another product of the inexhaustible Valencia quarry, a quarry that Meriton has wanted to appropriate under the motto of ‘Youth policy’an embarrassing motto and that’s really just it bad guy marketing, like almost everything Meriton does. Because the Valencian academy has produced good footballers all their lives and we don’t have to go back 50 years where there has always been Puchades or Claramunts that they belonged to the house, by simply looking at the mural at the entrance of Paterna at the entrance you can see the number of top international players who have grown up in the Valencian school since they were children.

The example of the Valencian is nothing more than another bad management of the players of the house, where, with the exception of homoMeriton definitely lost them all and what’s more, it caused the fans to end up calling them traitors when they left. I am very happy that Javi Guerra has extended, he deserves it and I also know that the boy has made a very important commitment to continue at the club where he wanted to play. He has gambled with no strings attached and accepted a salary that is half what he could have earned if he had gone to play in England.

I celebrate Guerra’s continuity, but I’m not buying from the quarry and Meriton. Meriton is not committed to the quarry because it believes in it, nor has it done anything different from what was previously done in Paterna. Meriton has put the club into financial ruin and is forced to throw players out of the subsidiary because Peter now doesn’t want to spend money on investments in the quarry he likes, namely that of Jorge Mendes. We all know that this has been his main occupation in Valencia during these years, but now he is forced to use what is in Paterna because either his money is gone or it doesn’t flow like it used to.

Valencia’s youth academy works through spontaneous generation, because football talent abounds throughout life in the Community, and also because there is a man named Jose Jimenez, one of the best talent recruiters in the world. José Jiménez has been serving Valencia for 20 years and has attracted players such as David Silva, Isco, Jordi Alba, and many others the list would be endless, his work at school. José is not well known, he is not front page in newspapers, he is not famous, but he left millions of euros to the club and his salary is very cheap for the club. In fact, his opinion was important for the arrival of Mamardashvili, which will be sold this summer and had nothing to do with Corona, as the man from Talavera wanted to make people think through some media.

Meriton is a specialist in lies and fireworks, they have told us about many milongas, but one of the greatest is that of the Paterna academy. Because Meriton doesn’t bet on the quarry, Meriton bet on the youth team Mendes said when they paid 10 to 20 million for their Portuguese. However, due to the ruin, the branch must be used by force. And there, like all life, there is natural talent. But listen, Guerra was offered to renew for less than 800,000 euros net in four seasons, while Moriba was paid 1.6 net for a single year assignment. And only his performance in the first team has changed the position. And only the player’s position and fairness ensured that extra time was over quickly, as another in place and after his goal against Valladolid would have asked twice what he asked for.

In addition, the club has a meeting on the run today to try to sign Diego Lopez, another youth side who had to get a hold of the disastrous first-team scheduling who was brought in when the boy ended his contract. in June, with an option to extend for another year as long as it was for the first team. That is, improvisation in power. But listen and how good it is to sell that ‘Youth Policy’…
