I thought the exact same thing when I saw the photo.
Granted, Busquets is pretty tall, but it's not that unusual for a DM to be tall/strong. I don't remember the last tall CM or AM we've had.

Arda has been able to play for 8 months, now. Much longer than he wasn't able to play during the ban.
This excuse will be thrown out even after his bones have started to rot in his grave, it seems.
Gotta wonder though, how will it be viewed that he didn't return sooner
Haven't seen or heard about that until you mentioned it.

How is his aerial play ? We are pathetic in converting corners in to goal scoring opportunity's. i dont like the idea of passing it when there is corner to be taken . if we can improve that aspect we will be even more dangerous and can be used as a weapon against Bus parking team's

Edmilson 186:
Van Bommel 187:
Thiago Motta 187:
Yaya Toure 188:
Philip Cocu 185:
Our "idea" to play with 170 cm tall midfielders is Pep's idea.
I personally always liked a combo of shorter technical midfielders and 1-2 tall and strong midfielders (even Rakitic's style is good enough).

We won the CL with Edmilson & MVB starting in midfield with Motta rotating with them. Keita & Gudjohnsen were 2 of the main back up in midfield during Pep ad Rijkaard (for the later) eras
Lucho & Cocu were class too.
tbh I don't think we shouldn't care about height of most of our players,we have proven we can do well with both tall & short players if they fit the system
Yeah,I was actually thinking about mentioning same names but I didn't feel it is worth the effort.BBZ comes later and do it with photosWell done.

Q&A
Barcelona's Andre Gomes explains why he likes the No 21 shirt
The Barcelona midfielder answered fans' questions while he was at Valencia and SPORT have reproduced some of the answers
Sport EN | 9.8.2016 | 13:37h.
When at Valencia Andre Gomes answered some fans' questions, including why he wears the No 21. Here are some of the questions and answers.
Why the No 21?
Because it's a nice number that many players have worn that are important to me. For example, Pablo Aimar, whom I loved since I was little. Zidane wore it too (during his time at Juventus).
Who is the last person you speak to before sleeping?
My mother, my father, my brother or my friends.
Do you think your FIFA rating is fair?
I don't know because I never play with myself.
What do you enjoy most?
To be with my family and silly friends. I like to spend time with people.
Could you win the Ballon d'Or?
It's difficult because it's the dream of many players. From a child you want to be the best, but later I grew and I think it's difficult, the only thing you can do is work hard.
What do your team-mates call you (at Valencia)?
They call me Andres. My name doesn't have the S but they never took it off.
Who was your idol?
Zidane.
How do you keep your hair nice after 90 minutes of football?
I don't do anything social, but I try to take care of my image.
Have you ever missed a date to play football?
No, I don't think so.
