10 - Lamine Yamal

Prime Busi was creatively and technically superior to Rodri, but Rodri is a more complete player than Busquets was. Overall, it depends on the midfield structure and available players.

Rodri would have fit just fine instead of Busquets with Xavi and Iniesta, that's for sure.
 
Some of the body feints and dribbles Busquets did in his prime, Rodri couldn't pull off. Not technically gifted enough. But Rodri scored some big goals for City. It's close.

Rodri has a better passing range than Busquets did so I'm not sure about the creativity part. Busquets is definitely a better dribbler and had a better touch though.
 
It's close, largely a matter of preference.

Rodri is more of a leader so in a team like this Spain he fits better than busi would.

But prime busi was so freaking beautiful to watch. The zidane of DM in that sense
 
Prime Busi for Spain was largely fucking hopeless after Iniesta and Xavi left and with Barca was fucking hopeless in a lot of the heavy defeats Barca suffered in CL.

Was good for Barca and Spain when he left and should have moved on from him a lot earlier.

How slow he was was painful when Barca had less domination of ball.

Was one of best DMs ever with Iniesta and Xavi though and like all players top level is what matters and all players need teams that suit them.

Rodri and Busi included.
 
Subprime Frenkie > prime busi that's for sure.
Prime Frenkie was only behind prime rodri because of pep, and if position's were traded Frenkie would now be in consideration as the best DM ever.
 
Fake news and never claimed...

Try again.

You are the one that claimed 'Rodri is ass' though.

As usual. Not a clue.

Dumb yank strikes again.

'Pedri cant play in a deeper two ahead of Gavi'

Sensational Jamrock claim.

Laugh emoji below if a dumb yank who thinks Gavi is better in a midfield two than Pedri. Its an order.
 
Subprime Frenkie > prime busi that's for sure.
Prime Frenkie was long behind prime rodri because of pep, and if position's were traded Frenkie would now be in consideration as the best DM ever.
Frenkie is like Lothar Matthaus but with more technical ability and winning mentality
 
But rodri in this those Spanish and Barca team that was going through a transition.

They win the league, CL and WC

Replace this rodri with prime busi
This Spanish team gets grouped.
 
He would walk into any team.

That indeed is true.

'Gavi is generational and Casado is world class.. while Pedri can be replaced by La Masia soon and Gundogan is Barcas best midfielder'.

Never correct.
 
Ldf said exactly what happened. Spain wouldnt win without lamine, the amount of space olmo oyarzabal ferran and the rest had in most of the games because of lamine presence is laughable. Go rewatch the games and you would find out, if not, well, sincerely start watching games from 1 to last minute.
Spain wouldn't have won without Nico creating space for Ferran. What's your point really? Do we need to get LdF on the mic for that too or should we give Nico the Ballon D'or straight up?
 
Busi was better for Pep's Barca and 2010-2012 Spain, Rodri is better for any other team in the world except those two. Busi's peak was very short and after that he became a big liability and constantly overrun in big matches even though his touches and passes were always class.
