xavi is definately an all-time great footballing wise but he doesn't have the same reputation as zidane or ronaldo for an instance. he doesn't make as much noise/as much nutmegs as they did and therefore people won't highlight him as much.

Laudrup is a traitorous piece of shit who has a special place in hell alongside Schuster and Figo, but he's criminally underrated. IMO he was just as good as Zidane, and the only thing holding him back was being Danish. Even then the Denmark side build around him was awesome.

I'm sure Xavi and his MASSIVE TROPHY CABINET are upset that you don't consider him an all time great. Really the only thing Zidane has on him is the Ballon d'Or, otherwise most of Zidane's advantage comes from being more flashy.

Xavi every single day, of every week, of every month, of every year! Zidane was over-rated, he was good, but he wasn't consistent, Xavi is consistent. If they played against each other in their prime, Xavi would run the game and Zidane would be on the outside looking in.

Yea he's not flashy enough to be an all time great. Come on.. he was given command of his national team and club team and he led them to win everything in just two years, all the while playing an attractive brand of football. He has the resume of an all time great but just like Barcetia said he doesn't make much noise.

Not as consistent as Xavi...

...and I repeat...Zidane is done and dusted...Xavi has 2,3 or even 5 years ahead of him....;)

If Xavi can Lead Barca to another La Liga and a CL, as well as another trophy for Spain, youd be hard pushed to find ANYONE with a better resume.

IMO, hes the best midfielder ever.
