Busquets or Alonso

[Maria]

Was hoping for some unbiased votes, oh well.

Asking Barcaforum to chose betwen a Barca player and a Madrid player.

I dare not guess the results.

Yes..cause if the choice would be between Pedro and Benzema, I'm sure that the former would win.

Technique means more than long passes or better shots from distance(if it wouldn't Cristiano would have a better technique than Messi)..Busi is a better dribbler, a faster passer, has a better close control of the ball and lately he is having succesfull long passes too.

pass technique, that is to say his ability to control direction and pace.

I guess Valdez will be voted the best keeper ever if we create a poll for the best keeper of all time.

Don't know about Valdez but Valdes is a damn fine keeper.

There are plenty of Barca players inferior to their Madrid counterparts (Ozil >>>>>>> Cesc)

Yep he is one of the top keepers around and suits us more than any other keeper but can we consider him in the same bracket as Oliver kahn or Schmichel I'm not sure of it what I'm sure of is that valdes would be in contention to win a poll for best keeper ever in this forum.

Well..you should create a poll and find out for yourself if we consider VV to be the best GK of all time.
And I see that you're so bothered by the fact that we consider Busquets(who was one of our top performers last year) to be better than Alonso, but it's a bit rich to see this comments regarding barcaforum from someone who said that Puyol is better than Ramos&Pique combined, when in the last 12 months Ramos outperformed our CBs and was in the top 3 best players for the team that won La Liga and for the NT that won the EC.

Everyone is biased, especially the football fans. There are some who think that Messi is nothing without Iniesta&Xavi, there are others that see Messi as the best player of all time and then there are others who just try to enjoy him.

No when I said Puyol was better than Ramos and Pique combined I really didn't mean it besides I voted Busquets is better than Alonso too,so chil I was only trying to understand guys here

Busquets is by far the better player.

 

[Meitux]

well if we can be objective its clearly that busquets is better player than alonso but we dont say alonso isnt a great midfielder and as for a comparison beetween casillas and valdes you clearly see who is better and not just from the performances for the club even if its real madrid we should be fair

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Xabi is probably a better passer, and has a better shot. But Busquets is better in defense and a smarter player
r

Xabi is badass, but let's clear up the passing bit. Xabi is a greater long ball passer, but make no mistake on the short pass and the clever pass, Busquets owns Xabi. Footballing intelligence, Busquets is already well on his way to Xavi's level, whereas Xabi spends most of his time fading in and out of greatness.

Valdes (maybe not this season, but the previous 2-3)

That's what I said
Busquets intelligence more than makes up for Xabis better hit on the ball

Yeah?

 

[Doobs]

I really doubt that

 

[karthik]

Sergi's sheer elegance with the ball at his feet wins me over!

Busquets is a DM who can easily play AM, CM and/or CB.
