Err Sergio is Xavi compared to Yaya in passing.

Anyone of you ever asked yourself the question why Ivory Coast never got to the final of ACN? No creativity. Yaya plays OM/CM there.

Passing =! creativity
Well calling him shit for brains is what he is exactly is. Cruyffs would have more knowledge of the game and how barca play(and he created it) than pep or Bosque. So when he says players are not the quality that we need he means shit for brains.
Oh this is not a forum anymore? Because last time i checked it was. Google what forums mean, a place to discuses opinions which i have been doing.
Yaya can provide creativity but it's through aggressive running with the ball and driving forward directly. His passing is generally not as quick and he doesn't have the same change of direction as Busi. Biscuits has an eye for a pass but he is generally to deep to cut open defenses, so he keeps it simple. His terrible errors are down to poor concentration, not a technical flaw.
Well, I think my point still stands that Yaya is capable of far better through balls and long balls than Sergi. How many times has Sergi played no look through balls over the top that have lead to a goal? Yaya has done it multiple times. I agree with the rest of your post though, as I mentioned most of it before. Sergi is much better at quickly receiving the ball and redistributing, and I think this quality would serve the team greatly if he were positioned further up the field in Keita's position. His errors are most definitely a matter of focus, which will get better in time but for the moment its an issue that can't be ignored. This is first season in years that Valdes hasn't gone through a patch of poor concentration, can we expect another 4 seasons of mindless mistakes before Sergi gets his act together?
An important point is that Sergi and Yaya actually work quite well together on the pitch! They find each other well and having two deeper mids allows Xavi to focus more on the attacking half of the pitch.
