Xavi Hernández

[ZenI]

I was talking about his overall level of boss, his stare when waiting to be subbed on was magical.

Gotcha :thumbsup2:

He is not the Xavi from the Pep era

Which, of course, we haven't seen since teams stopped playing Barça as open as they did in the Pep era.

This season could be interesting, however. I suspect Barça will have more success breaking buses this year, with earlier goals (especially after Suarez joins the roster). If the opponent is forced to chase goals and open up, we'll see a lot more space for Xavi (and everyone else) to exploit.

Such a mediocre tournament.

He won every single individual duel vs Pirlo over their two games.

Thanks for the vid. During that tournament thought he had some of his top performances.

Really bossed and made the Italians and pirlo look two steps behind. In that final especially saw some of the best Xavi ever imo

Jup, that's why we got Alonso, which was the much more sensible transfer anyways.

 

[Hamzah]

If it was so sensible why wasn't he your first option? I thought Bayern are the best and most logical club?

Pep, you bastard

Pep wanted him.

Pep wanted Alonso too. Bayern probably wouldn't have bought anyone otherwise.Your idea that Pep is some moron and the elders at Bayern correct all his mistakes with their extremely logical decisions is wrong.

Your putting words in my fingers, I didn't write.
Alonso is a better player than Xavi at this moment and also happens to be two years the younger. Obviously, Alonso is a better signing for Bayern than Xavi would have been, expecially if one dares to look ahead the current season.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Xabi better than Xavi right now? Hell no.
Depends on what you need for your squad.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Xavi is blaugrana for life. Legend.

Guardiola on the other hand is quite annoying.

 

[CuleLife4Life]

Its understandable that right now Xabi and Xavi are on 2 different levels but thats because of the TWO year age difference. When a footballer reaches the ages Xabi and Xavi have, every extra year decreases what the players can contribute.

I do think having Xavi is better for us because we aren't throwing him into the starting 11 every week while Xabi at Bayern looks to be a starter for the time being until the injured come back. Xabi won't be able to handle that and you'll be able to see his decline.

dude in any universe xavi at 1% is always gonna be better than alonso. Heck, to me Alonso was great only at liverpool, at RM he wrecklessly fouls game after game and the only reason why he don't get sent off every game is because of Spanish referees being Madrid fans.
