That's an insult to Busquets.

it sure is.

Busquets is a tall Pep.

props to my man Bobby Cheesecake for being the first to say it.

Excerpt from the Iniesta-Xavi interview in El Pais (translation courtesy of conlaroja blog):

Iniesta: That’s also unjust. They always reward those who score goals, the forwards. Goalkeepers have a hard time, I think only once have they given it to a goalkeeper (Yahsin in 1963). And Iker’s World Cup was exceptional. We have the luck of playing under Pep in Barcelona and Luis and Del Bosque on the national team.

Xavi: Yes, that’s true. People only see the goals. There are very few people that understand that. For example, Sergio (Busquets) is under-appreciated. And Del Bosque knew that, because he likes that kind of football. Busquets doesn’t win races, he almost never scores, he doesn’t do stepovers… but he’s fantastic! Busquets is one of those who does everything. He’s a hard worker and has class. It doesn’t matter if he’s being marked, he gets you the ball, and you think, “how did he see me? It’s impossible!”

Iniesta: A lot of times Busi plays so fast that I can’t believe he saw the play.

Xavi: Yes, it’s true. Few people see football as he does.

High praise, given the sources.

 

[Valon]

Busquets!

 

[Twizku]

Go Busi! If Xavi and Iniesta praise you, you know you've made it.

 

[Valon]

Busquets should have won that Ballon D'or not Messi!

I'm wondering at what point the Biscuits negotiations impasse becomes a concern

I thought he had already signed the extension... So he still hasn't?

Does anybody know why Busquets was not nominated for the best young player award for the World Cup last year?
I thought he was one of the impressive and important players in the tournament.

people forget that he is young so he is in running for the big boy awards and not the kiddy stuff

I read some players incl Busquets cant stand it why Mascherano gets a big salary and they dont.
The article also says Man united knows about the problems with his contract extension and offers 30 Million for him.
