Well, he has played 4 years for Barca. Not exactly outsider
Think it was Ronald De Boer who said it. Either way, a lot of spotlight is being cast on the senior members finally.
That's exactly what is weighing heavily on fans minds.
However, Koeman also was saying how Barca is using FDJ wrongly when he was coach of the Netherlands. Even though FDJ had his best phase at the club when Koeman was here, he couldn't really keep it up for more than 2 months on a regular basis.
This. Bet if they gave De Boer the Barca job right now , he would start all these players too. Seen it too many times where these guys talk big and the moment they get the job , they end up caving after 1 month.
What about Busi games for Spain in the Euro?
Are we putting that down to the level of international football being lower. Because bar a few breaks with transitions he was largely great.
The whole Spain team passed with speed, were condensed and pressed as a team. 3 things Barcelona miss and I dont think they can be put on Busquets.
Were caught in between a rock and a hardplace right now.
Wait for JamDav to tell you how all teams at international level just let Busquets play and don't pressure him enough.
Busquets is not our main problem, given the circumstances right now. Would be nice to have a younger, more athletic guy there who can play the role well, but we don't.
Ronald de Boer was also talking about the Cup game vs Bilbao where Frenkie was passing straight to opposition players?

It's possible to compensate for any player. After all even this version of Busquets isn't just some bum, he still has qualities. But if this is possible right now and next season AND if it's worth it to try build with 34yo Busi is a different story. It's not Messi that got us 50 G+A in exchange for no legs, it's Busquets.
NT also don't have to play 50 games a season, so depth suddenly becomes way more important. In case of Busquets' position there are no alternatives because apparently we only can play that one specific skillset of Busi there and he starts every game so just never bothered to buy anyone.
We don't have to kick out Busquets, but for the love of god don't just make him a 100% secured starter for as long as he wants to stay. Xavi scenario would be ideal imo.
