Pep himself knows Busi is better than he was as a player. Pep played with balon d'or winners as well, Romario, stoichkov, Ronaldo, Rivaldo... Pep was good, Busquet is better.

Actually, Pep was a better passer and goal scorer than Busquets playing at the same position. And Pep was more intelligent. Busquets is a better dribbler, better interceptor of plays and passes and handles the ball under pressure better. Busquets also won more both for Spain and Barcelona so he will be ranked above Pep (and rightly so) but let recency bias not engender a history that did not exist as far as Pep is concerned.

Busi is the best Dm barca has ever had period!

Guardiola was just an above average Dm for barca and does not have half the silverware busi had as a player.


The way some of your Barca fans sound so authoritative makes me laugh. Go and study the history of this club well. If it was possible to merge Xavi and Busquets' abilities, that was Josep Guardiola.

easy to say, you probably didn't watch Guardiola play, and his team didn't have Messi. Busquets is awesome at what he does, but we have some other players that look better than they truly are because we have a Messi winning us games and silverware.

Don't judge with trophies bro.

I never really watched Pep in his heydays but when he was hired in 2008/09 Barca TV ran a lot of documentaries on him and his time then. This was before any of us knew who Busquets will become. Pep was a phenomenal passer of the ball and scored a lot of long range goals for us. A lot of the past Barca midfielders like Xavi, Arteta, Ini, Fabregas even Xabi Alonso who did not play for us, all said he was the midfielder they looked up to growing up and most of them displayed aspects of his game. Those long balls that Xabi and Fab give, those ground defense-splitting passes Xavi and Ini give, Arteta's long range goals. Those were the things Pep was known for.

So Messi starts on the bench.

I think it's a good idea.

well, semedo started our last game. In the spirit of rotation, I think this is fair.

It be like say this Valverde don dey get sense.Games like this is what the Boys need to boost their confidence and for Messi to get some needed rest.If it all goes well,I don't want to see Messi on pitch.

Pep was too injury prone. Don't get me wrong, he was great, but I think Busi is just way too underrated. Apart from goalscoring, I disagree pep was a better passer.

Lol...no midfielder in history comes close to xavi.

Busquets was part of the greatest midfield trio of all time and has won virtually almost every silverware in football.

Mascherano came from epl as the best dm and couldn't even be a suitable substitute for him.

Busquets in his prime has to be in the conversation for the greatest Dm of all time.

Guardiola more intelligent than him? Lol!
Pep said if he were to be incarnated as a player, he wished he would be sergio busquets.

I am not questioning Busi's greatness. But if anyone was underrated it is actually Pep based on what a few people said here. And as per passer, no disrespect to Busi but it is not even close. Busi is not responsible for creativity in his passing for example. He keeps the engine running. Pep was deciding games with his passes. Easily.

Macherano's game is predicated more on ball-winning than possession.

Busi is in conversation for greatest DM of all times because he is part of the greatest teams of all times and I don't think anybody here is questioning that. But him being better than Pep as dismissively as you put it is pure and unadulterated recency bias. I have told you that passing and scoring Pep was CLEARLY better.

I am tempted to read your previous posts before knowing whether I should even discuss intelligence with you. The brain someone uses to coach games, devise or understand tactics, learn multiple languages, lead title winning teams as a captain, win trophies as a manager- does not show how much more intelligent a person is than others? Or why do you think Pep said Lahm was the most intelligent player he had coached even when we know same Pep has coached Ini and Messi?

well, if it's on that particular position, based on consistency n what is required, I'll choose Busi 10 times over pep.
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by tesppidd: 9:30pm On Jan 20, 2019
In terms of these defence penetrating runs,

Dembele is the next best thing I've seen since Dinho, Messi and Neymar at this club.

He needs to do it for much longer yet.

I no compare am with anybody ooo... he was brought in partly to fill the 'Neymar-sized hole' and if he continues to play this way, i don't think FCB will have any further regrets.

That is preference and it is very allowed. But "facts" are not based on preference which is what I was trying to correct.

I would put Busi over him too in terms of what we won, but it does not mean it will be an easy decision.
