Yeah sure, top class technique and top class vision. Was his tech and vision in isolation miles above Fabregas/Ozils/Zidanes/Lampards/Ballacks and so on? He was miles ahead as a player, I'd say, despite him being worse than them in most physical aspects.

I am not sure if I make myself understood, and if you just don't agree, or if I need to explain more. My point in a nutshell is that his main attribute was his style. Because he had more patience and trust than all other players, he was more succesful. When he got to play with players that suited him perfectly, his qualities shone even more.

Xavi had many weaknesses, he wouldn't win any pure 1v1 either off/def, he couldn't play in the air, his shot was nothing compared to most other top CM:s at the time, and so on... But football is not so much about a comparison of attributes, and it's not so much about stats. Pretty much any time Xavi was on the pitch, his team was controlling the ball, and his weaknesses were hidden while his strengths were shown.

We know that Xavi is better passer with better risky pass and vision than Arthur.

Try something new at least if you want to keep trolling.

It's rare you see a transfer/trade where both teams lose on it.

Both Barca and Juve took a L with this.

Bigger L for Juve.

They paid 10m to make their squad worse and went from multiple champions to nothing.

Barca have the value of Pjanic to worry about and he has been too slow to play with Busquets but not has as big an impact on the standard of first team.

Pjanic is the better player and if neither did the transfer Juve would be stronger. Barca would be more or less the same.
