Ray Hudson's favorite young stars are Ozil and Thiago for a reason. He really is a sensational player full of technical and practical intelligence. Overrated? Maybe those outside of the Barca camp might feel that there is enough attention on Xaviesta/Busi/Cesc and anything younger is just exhausting for them (looking forward to more asswhoopings, manitas, etc.). For those who let their guards down, you will see what the rest of us see. A hard working, tough, talented, extremely football smart, and teachable footballer. Thiago fiits the mold of what Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, and Busi bring AND he has that Brazilian flare that none of them have which makes his game even more fun to watch. It's extraordinary really, how we landed this guy and his brother. So lucky.
