He's not really that bad. Still much better than Busi.

Is he really? About the same. Yea he scores more obviously, but Busi has better technique and is more intelligent. Both are slow as hell. Even if he is better than Busi, it's not by much imo.

Busi, Vidal, Rakitic, all are past it.

If you look at all three and their profiles it's no surprise they started to decay by their late 20s.

Vidal at his peak was the best B2B Midfielder out there, but he suffered a couple of bad knee injuries and was considered a heavy drinker all before he hit his late 20s or so.

Rakitic was also a Workhorse and all those years of running nonstop to help cover up the holes on the pitch while getting very little rest for Club and International Football has done a number on him.

Busi was always a slow Midfielder and never all that mobile but made up for it with his Brain and brilliance on the ball while also being paired up with the likes of Xavi and Iniesta who were impossible to steal the ball off of during their peaks. Busi debuted at a young age but another problem of his is he's considered a Relic. Teams these are buying or developing DM's who are not only good on the ball but also Athletic and Physically strong which Busi isn't sadly.

You could add Pjanic to the list as he's very similar to Busi and his flaws.

Vidal was outstanding between 2011-2015, unstoppable to beat. I think he was really underrated.
