Sergio Busquets

[El Gato]

You must be having a blast Almost 5 years now, he fulfilled the Raul quota.

It happens to unathletic players that benefit from seniority, even more so these days.

I just do not understand the weaponisation of 'respect' that happens in Latino cultures.

 

[Barcilliant]

His legacy is getting tarnished with every extra day that he's spending here. I wasn't the biggest fan of this guy and I believe that he's a very good player in the right system. But that ship has sailed some time ago. Should've left the club after that Bayern humiliation along with the other amigos. Or even earlier after that Anfield massacre.

My thoughts exactly. It's bad enough that biscuits is deluded but the club can't see the writing on the wall either. He's milked us for the past five years being the centrepiece of our European humiliations.

I will stop watching the team if i see him next year wearing the shirt

You will be surprised how much you will miss him. Its strange how barca fans and people in the club want copies of every player of Pep era, one of the CMs has to be like Xavi, the other like Iniesta, the RB has to be like Alves, one of the CBs has to be very comfortable with the ball and the other to be the leader etc. The idea in the club is to copy that team and for many years the mechanisms in the team were designed for Busi and it was working to some point, because he is the GOAT at his position. If barca continue to try to build new pep team after Busi is gone, they will be in even bigger trouble, he literally has unique skill set for THIS style.

If he stays, Umtiti and Dembele I'll take a break after 19 years. Watching this team since 2002 and Van Gaal disaster but this is maybe worse and disgracefull.

The club didn't replace Xavi with a similar player, though we tried it with Cesc, didn't replace Mascherano with similar player, didn't replace Pique with similar player.
Most fans want to move on from Busi ball and start being more athletic and direct, most fans want Frenkie to start over him right now.
We don't even use "that style " under Xavi.

 

[JohnN]

It's about time we move away from the style until a new manager re-invents it. We are stuck in a meta that is out of date and don't even have the tools to do it correctly. Busi, independent of style, is a relic of another time, like a 1950s hot rod. Good to have in a museum but you wouldn't want it to be your daily driver.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Busquets has a salary of more than ?20m per season. Xavi wants him to renew, but he would have to take a big salary cut. It won't be easy.

Seriously, why would we ever want to pay him that much or close to it? Way overpaid

 

[te amo barca]

Him and Alba had most possession lost for Barca vs Intercity with 21 and 26. Busi with 0 key passes and 79% (68/86) passing accuracy, lol. For comparison, Dembouz had 85% with 4 key passes, Torre 88% with 4 key passes, Kessie 97% with 3 key passes, Gavi 92% with 1 key pass.

Blanco’s posts are something else. It’s like each sentence he changes his mind

[Messigician]

Xavi demanded his renewal it will happen

 

[Porque]

Not even 35. He can go another 4 seasons with our pace and style. Renewal is the past, present and future.

 

[ryuken]

The goat got kicked out by that snake Laporta and here Xavi still jerking this dinousaur's dick, what a great club, let just renew this mofos till he retire.

Is this the one game ever where you could see that trend?

Busquets is needed to be the spark in this team, since the AMs and the wingers offer NO creativity, and also lack A LOT in their off the ball movement. Some game maybe he falls under 80%, but was he ever close to 75% over a few games? Was Dembele ever close to being over 75% for a few games?

lol@making a lot of analysis because of a shitty cup game against "intercity"
