Sergio Busquets

[evilhita666]

Busquets won't be as successful outside Barça and Barça won't be as successful with Busquets... It's the perfect relationship...

 

[Ursegor]

Why exactly would Busquets not be successful outside Barca? Carrick is a poor man's Busquets in every aspect of his game and he's hyped up as the best central midfielder in the Premier League. lol

If anyone, after all these years, still needs any confirmation of Busquet's importance for this team, he just needs to rewatch Spain's latest WC qualifier game. Busquets doesn't play in midfield for the first time and for the first time since 25 qualifier matches Spain do not win a qualifier game and actually get outplayed in midfield.

Del Bosque (coach ESP): "Maybe we lacked some defensive stability because Busquets didn't play in midfield with Alonso, doubt will remain."

Zonal Marking:

Having played Sergio Busquets together with Xabi Alonso throughout del Bosque’s spell as coach, it was unusual to see Spain with a single holding player here. It was partly an enforced move – without Gerard Pique or Carles Puyol, Busquets was needed at the back, which left Alonso on his own. It was effective when Spain brushed aside Belarus at the weekend, but this was a tougher challenge.

Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta both played deeper than usual for Spain, although it was more similar to their regular roles at Barcelona in a trio. Alonso sat in a deep position but sometimes looked uncomfortable when either Yohan Cabaye or Blaise Matuidi pressed him – usually he can move the ball sideways to Busquets, who takes charge of the situation, but in this match he was forced into a more ambitious forward pass, often to a marked player. He also lacks Busquets’ ability to shield the ball, and although Spain dominated possession heavily in the first half, their ball retention wasn’t at its most convincing.

Couldn't have said it better! Busquets doesn't get the credit he deserves because he doesn't play a glorified position. Who says they want to grow up and be a DMF? But he is the link that holds the chain together for Barca and Spain. Being that he's only 23 he is only going to get better.

I can't even believe people are arguing about him getting sold. I'll bet 100 bucks he won't leave Barca for at least another 5 years...

I'm not saying we should sell him, I'm just saying comments like 100 million for Busquets isn't enough is a joke.

 

[JimmyGuitarist]

It's good that Barca are full of some of the most loyal players. City could offer everything & I'd still be confident of no one leaving, especially Busquets.

 

[FCBarca]

Club is breeding loyalty as well, cannot discount that

100m would not be enough as he could not be replaced.

It is as simple as that.

Is there any DM at the moment that can give this team what Busquets can??

if you name one proper DM (to do well in FCB like Sergio is doing), then I will agree with you.
