What i'm saying is Busquet is an ordinary player, he's not a WOW player..If you take Busquet to an ordinary team you wouldn't see his work/dirty works..He's good b/c he plays with xavi...

I'd rather have stability in a role as important as defensive midfielder than a wow factor. I do acknowledge that he loses the ball a lot, but that is mainly due to his lack of experience, he's only 21 years old. The players surrounding him are good enough that the occasional mistakes don't turn out to be costly, and even when his mistake leads to us conceding a goal or so, I don't think there was ever a situation where we dropped points as a result. While Yaya has more experience and may be the slightly better player at the moment, Busquets has the potential to become one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and he's getting a lot of playing time so that he could gain experience and fulfill that potential. Like I've said, he does make mistakes but they almost never turn out to be costly, and blaming our loss to Inter on Busquets, or even Ibra as a lot of people do, is just ridiculous. Our so-called best player Messi couldn't even dribble past one defender, and Alves was solely responsible for at least two goals that we conceded at San Siro. Busquets isn't the only one that makes mistakes, Xavi made a crucial mistake against Atletico Madrid in Vicente Calderon which resulted in Forlan's opening goal, and our subsequent loss. Just let Pep handle it, he knows what he's doing.

Yaya is better than Biscuits, but not enough to be held hostrage for. It's been nice knowing you Yaya, a great player held back by greed.

Not that we're in favor of it, just that it seems like the most likely thing that's gonna happen right now

Lemme quote it in this thread so it doesn't get lost in the news section:

yaya played approx 100 less minutes than sergi, and had one less start (15 to 16), both of which you can put down to him contracting swine flu the week of the inter/reial games. otherwise the two of them are basically level.

so yaya had as much time as sergi to showcase his talent and earn his place. it's not his fault he didn't take it. tbh after el clasico and sergi's red, yaya had a chance to bury busquets in xerez but was so awful that he let the kid back in.

both were given equal time, only sergi made use of it.

since january you've had the CAN, and then sergi has just been getting better and better while yaya, a couple of glorious games aside, has just been rubbish.



I agree he's versatile, and I'd like him to stay.

but with a different agent, and with better performances.

he's had chances and not taken them.

we can't afford to live off past glories.

he is not the player he was in 08/09.

We all love him, but in top football you have to accept the consequences if you perform way under you own set level.

I do not want Yaya to play another year like this.

rubbish analysis.
Meta should never be allowed touching statistics again.

We never lost because of Yaya tourés actions. We did loose couple of times because of Busquets mistakes.
We suffer in defense. If u play Busq. u make it even worse.
+ that. Yaya makes rushes to the frontline from time to time which has saved our asses.
Busquets is just another "passer"

We need to have both.

Letting Yaya go would be worse than signing Hleb
