Nice one guys. Limerick

That oscar offer if true would have been a huge blessing to our coffers.

homesteady:
This guy is so Did you watch any Sevilla game last season, maybe apart from their games against Madrid and barca? Obviously No! So you just pick up stats from anywhere and come to a conclusion that he was better? I thought this kind of argument has already been over-flogged? Who doesn't know that smaller teams defensive players would have better stats than the bigger team players?

Oh well, let me knack you with more articles!
Why Sergio Busquets is the best midfielder in the world

www.squawka.com/news/why-sergio-busquets-is-the-best-midfielder-in-the-world/508570
check the date, just November of last year.

When idris abdulkareem was rapping in the 90s, he had many fans hailing him as the best rapper, when ruggedman and mi came, they flushed him out and his stvpid lyrics. Krychowiak has exposed busquets in the la liga last season. When we asked you why your greatest dm busquets could nt make la liga team of the season for 5 years, you guys claimed it was because of perez and also they would nt put a dm in the list. Krychowiak came straight from french league and showed how to be an enforcer, a superb dm and non-real madrid player and be selected in la liga team of the season. He exposed your reasons as excuses of bad worksmen. Technical experts don't rate a dm on only number of passes played, they check crucial points. Let's assume i am naive and la liga are too. Uefa must also be biggest fool for nominating krychowiak for uefa team of the year 2015 and not sergio busquets who won the ucl.
Think bro, think !!!

Mcleo007:
The same line of thought people use to talk down god-Messi's achievements. Saying he needs to prove himself elsewhere. You made mention of "array of stars"... If holding that in context, S. Busquets by himself is a star, as he's a key member of the first XI.

By your backing of G. Krychiowak based on stats; ranking high on stats doesn't make you the best. Tapnaldo was highest goal scorer, but can't be said to be the best striker. Someone like A. Griezman is a better striker if you consider the number of shots he hits per goal. He scores say once in every 5 shots on goal. Tapnaldo on the other hand scores say twice from every 15 shots on goal. The means sometimes justifies the end, if you get what I'm saying.

Dont bring ronaldo and griezman stuff. Ronaldo is mainly used as a winger while griezman plays closer to the goal post. So you should reason who should have better chances of converting most of his attempts. Thats by the way, you only zeroed in on one of the stats (goal scoring), in krychowiak/busquets issue, i compared the last season's stats, not one, two or three key points. most of what are required to be an outstanding defensive midfielder, busquets was badly beaten. What else do you want to use to check a player when even watching him play is a delight. He shields his defence better than busquets would do. Meanwhile, Messi will shine anywhere he goes, he may have more injury issues though. No sensible person will talk down messi's achievements, he has a very long list of individual awards, he did nt hide under team's achievement canopy like busquet. Busquets is another valdes in barca, there are many players who can do his job and even better in barca. Krychowiak is one of them. He was in the la liga team of the 2014/2015 seasondespite not winning the league. He has been man of the match in 5 games this season including ucl games playing as a dm. he has shown to unbiased minds how a dm should play. It's a matter of time he moves to a bigger club and his exploits well applauded. If you don't know him, mark his face.

Mcleo007:
Ask yourself, how many trophies did those high stats fetch G. Krychiowak last season.. He had only The Europa for all his efforts. We both know how it ended for S. Busquets and his elite team.

The thing with people like you and what you see against S. Busquets' game is that, you still retain that Brutish, reckless, 'knack-am-down' picture of DMs such as G. Gatusso, C. Makelele's mould et al. Those were greats of the old order. The game has since changed. Look at J.O Mikel; how many tackles does he make in every other game, yet he bosses the midfield. Or even someone like T. Kroos... Bieng a DM goes beyond stiffling the opposition, hacking down players and generally known for rough play; S. Busquets has redefined that role. A DM should be decent, intelligent and a key partaker in moving the ball around. In the near future, the role will be likened to an alternate CM, and S. Busquets would be the reference point.

Why do you see P. Guardiola use soft but intelligent players like P. Lahm in the midddle as a holder of the ball? Even T. Alcantara has played in that position.

Very funny defence. Krychowiak was the best DM in la liga last season hans down with all stats backing him up. A player like busquets in a sevilla team would be sodomised every now and then under barrage of attacks. If you like prefer fellaini as dm, thats your choice. We all know that pep has not replicated what he did at barca with bayern using those decent dms. Everyone knows a dm should be strong defensively and that's what krychowiak brings to the table despite playing for an inferior team compared to barca's arrays of stars.
There are very few dms that can stop messi as it is in the gif below, sluggish busquets is definitely not one of them. Take busquets elsewhere, valdes' post-barca career will be like diamond to his.

The Grandmaster: How Sergio Busquets was key to Barca vivisecting Valencia

www.squawka.com/news/the-grandmaster-how-sergio-busquets-was-key-to-barca-vivsecting-valencia/590572

Visit the link!!!!

Airmark do the same↑↑↑

Na jeje i dey u go dey call me. Why should i visit a link ? Who will not perform against a valencia team, that last won a match 3 months ago? Put mikel as dm he would play better against those boys. Tell me what squawka said about busquets performances against krychowiak's sevilla in october, deportivo last december. In la liga, Grzegorz Krychowiak was better than him as dm last season and still bossing him this season.

This dude is truely the bundesliga idol. Bossing them back to back to back, no one comes close. It was kevin debruyne last season, now it's chicharito

hensben:
The team are playing fine it's just the shooting skills that is still missing.

That has been my major concern. You may have best defence and midfield, if your attackers wont pull the trigger in crucial games then it's a big problem. Gomes saved watford too , though. But most of those long thrusts from fab should have been clinically executed by our attackers.

sleekdot:
Its only people who are ignorant that take those hernandez awards seriously. Because its a public vote for fans and most Mexicans see him as the only rep in Europe and vote en masse for him regardless of performance

Its just a public vote which people rig. Just like the public votes where Arsenal fans would vote for their own players

Mexicans must be more than germans and other nationals in population or chicharito must have bought internet data for mexicans to have voted for him. Gabonese must have won october edition for aubameyang . Brazilians must have done same for douglas costa in august too You must be thinking you are conversing with your village people. Your bundesliga officially announced someone as player of the month for 3 consecutive months, you are bringing one website ranking as a more reliable option. Chicharito is your bundesliga idol, you must worship him.

We had opportunity to buy strikers who wouldn't cost up to 20m , we did n't . We went to Brazil to bring pato now he is not yet match fit. An injury proned striker at that. Diego Costa with his epileptic form should have buried at least 2 goals today. Our attack once again failed us big time. Hiddink needs to work on hazard goal scoring confidence in the attacking third areas. Beating man utd is a must for this team.

Only God knows what is happening to all bayern munich stars. Why would an epl-reject be bossing burnthisleaguedown back to back to back (November - December - January). No wonder they awarded him BUNDESLIGA IDOL. So dayo raumdeuter, epl-reject is your idol that you must be worshiping every morning and night with bended knees, your two hands folded at the back and forehead hitting the ground 3 times.

Johnpaul88:
My opinion on any issues here are mine. I do not speak for anyone else. Do not drag me into your childish, hide & seek games.

Be bold to stand by your view. You had a point with that your post. If a player leaves a team and his absence is not felt as you pointed out then no biggie about the player. We are on the same page. All hail sergio busquets , xavi can continue smoking shisha in Qatar. Busquets - King of Tiki Taka

Mcleo007:
Look at the day that piece was published.

In fact, after the day the piece was published, Xavi did n't win any individual award to be in a pole position to displace anyone on that list. It's high time barca fans saw the truth as it is. Xavi is a legend but not the greatest midfielder of all-time. Dayo mentioned maradona, i did nt argue it, but Xavi? Capital NO.

sebod:
Nawah oooo! Its now Iniesta vs Xavi again on Chelsea thread. Two great legends that have so many things in common with their distinct approach to the game.

Na your people bring am go there. None of them was picked in all-time best 11, so no need to make a fuss over it.

nonsoroyalty:

Why you dey shine your goro tooth? Everyone knows after you, na ibime next.

homesteady:
Sharrrap! You are a scared ninny!
You insulted everyone on barcelona thread that called Xavi the greatest, but when Ibime said the same thing, you all of a sudden changed your approach towards the matter by saying everyone has his opinion! Biko what can we easily deduce from the matter, if not that you are afraid?

Nobody drags most senseless fans in the world with Chelsea, it's so bad that it has caused a segregation here in Chelsea's thread - Wise fans and the senseless fans! you obviously know which category you belong to

So you are still on this Valdez issue? You obviously have data, would it kill you to browse about the importance of his ball distributions?

I gave you reasons for not always engaging my co-cheslea fans here in back and forth, it's outta respect, i am not afraid of ibime or anyone. If he had stated his preference for xavi as the greatest midfielder ever on barca thread where we were arguing it, i would have explained how a 34 year old zidane was more influential in his team than xavi in his peak years. This is chelsea thread, xavi and zidane have nothing to do with anything chelsea or epl. If all these reasons could n't sink into your brain then i dont have the time to convince a stark dullard how 0 is less than 100.

homesteady:
Wow! So if you know everyone has his or her own opinion, why were you acting like a rabid dog on barcelona thread because some people called Xavi the greatest?
Or has your balls to attack anybody with that opinion disappeared? Oga, you are obviously scared of Ibime

You are sick in the head. I don't always like arguing with Chelsea fans because of idiotss like you who would hijack the situation and make it turn to high scale beef. Even at that I had argued with him here not once not twice, ask around. But the level of stvpidity shown on that your barca thread is second to none. you are the same guy that was ranking Valdes as one of the best in the world because of his superb ball distribution. I was thinking man utd fans had the most senseless fans on nl, when I discovered that only 3 barca fans have soccer brain , then I turned that place to my residence cos of comic reliefs. It's nice when a fun-seeking non drunkard is in the midst of senseless drunkards. Dmcdad should continue serving y'all legend beers. It brings more balderdash out of you guys and someone like me enjoy it.

Awesome01:
Happy Birthday to me and Pique. Didn't know we share the same day though, its nice to share my birthday with someone as great as you,

Happy birthday bro. Wish you many more joyful years.

nonsoroyalty:
Airmark come ur father said xavi is the greatest midfielder or are u going to tag him ignorant too

You are just a t,wat an old one. But, your brain is like that of a stillborn. Ibime has his opinion, dayo has his and I have mine. I have no father on nairaland but if yours is here and an albino , it's a free world keep reading and liking his views. At 49 you don't have a mind of your own you are still acting like a baby in daycare guarded with pampers. Zizou is the greatest midfielder ever to me, yours May be garba lawal, that's your fxckin bizness. Get lost .

So united did not buy any player ? I cant wait for our next meeting.

BarcaBlood:
Are you blind? that's a rhetorical question cos its so obvious. Where in this post was Maradona and zidane rated higher than xavi? He even said xavi was d greatest of this generation, a fact that gives u migraine. When d greatest midfielders are being mentioned, Xavi would sure be mentioned among d elite group alongside maradona and zidane n not local champions like lampard

Again, xavi is d greatest. Deal with it

When you get to the university I hope you won't won't be getting carry over every session in gns like piques "errors leading to goals" every season. Dayo quoted his previous post when I asked him who's the greatest midfielder ever.

raumdeuter:
Though Zidane is my footballer, I would say Diego Armando maradona is the greatest

One of worst things is for someone to be telling himself a lie. Dayo said maradona was the greatest ever, instead of you to keep mute or challenge him , you came to be praising him and now saying he didnt rate Diego and zizou above Xavi. Are you guys for real?

CFCman:
Let it come to pass o. They should offer him a one-yr extension.

Yea they should. But to be sincere baba don dey old.

Bimffo:
Eledumare punish Chelsea and Emenalo!!!
Emenalo just wants to turn Chelsea to his play ground.
The Herbalist wey do the charm for Emenalo see am do, Walahi.
That Emenalo guy is so fūcking Clueless.
Jeezzzzz. My mood has been fucking down since Yesterday sef.. That Emenalo won't kill me.

Emenalo should watch his back these days ooo.

homesteady:
Are you a child? Do I have to explain everything to you? Can't you deduce things easily?

Who has ever called Busquets the King of tiki taka? If you don't show me, may you be cursed with 20 midget albino children!

Who doesn't know that Xavi was the embodiment of tiki taka for both Spain and Barcelona? Even them Iniesta and Busquets no talk am?

You don dey copy coogars lines because he has been banned and one pygmy jumped at it like an hungry h.oe sighting the magic stick. Don't expect me to dig all nonsense words u and Ur goons here used to praise bisque t in the past as the dopest thing in barca after legend beer dmcdad shares here. At least it's on record that it was xavi n not sluggish busquets that made Ur team to work.

Johnpaul88:
Busquet is so good that i cannot begin to describe his effectiveness for this Barcelona side in paper. Simply put, Busquet makes this Barca team tick! He's irreplaceable for us. He's the major reason Barcelona play a particular style of football. Everyone thought it was Xavi who is the architect of tiki taka but we still play that way even now Xavi is gone.

So stay cool and watch this exceptional footballer, Busquet, display an otherworldly understanding of time and space in football , over and over again otherwise park welll!!!

CFCman:
It's true. The Chelsea board refused to renew his contract.

Chelsea later released statement that he may still get a renewed contract in the coming months

And we failed to buy niasse , now he's with everton at a good price while injury proned Pato continues his recovery back to ac Milan peak form. God dey.

BarcaBlood:
Very simple and precise. A fact airmark just wants 2 kill himself over


Airmark whether u like it or not Xavi is the greatest. Deal with it

Someone rated maradona and zidane above xavi, you are still spitting rubbish. It's obvious you can't differentiate between red and purple.

sleekdot:
When talking about great midfielders you would talk of Maradona, Zidane, Xavi Matthaus. Not Lampard nor gerrard

Though Zidane is my favourite footballer, I would say Diego Armando maradona is the greatest

Barcelona fans here are saying it's Xavi. They said he was the heart of barca and spain, no midfielder like him since 1800.

You are mostly on the wrong side of proper and sensible things.

Reason for ban below

a moderator banned sleekdot for "mumu " insulting a nairalander. violation of rule 2 .

where is raumdeuter? I hope this other moniker will spit sensible stuffs this time around.

sleekdot:
airmark has not stopped posting rubbish

This ewure has come back with another moniker.

Do you also agree that xavi is the greatest MIDFIELDER ever?

homesteady:
This is the 2nd time you are writing unfounded rubbish just to include Busquets name into your post.

Couldn't you deduce my answer from my post?

You wanna be smart by half. I asked simple and direct question, u asked me to deduce from gibberish you posted. Oh it's difficult to answer In just fewest of words, cos you know you would be dealt serious blows subsequently even by your co-fans. Some of them will still spank your head for calling Xavi, the heart of Barcelona, where buskirt the king of tiki taka was. It seems you are a confused barca fan.

BarcaBlood:
Again, xavi is the greatest. Deal with it

In yur head.

homesteady:
Xavi was the heart of Barcelona and Spain, he was the heart behind arguably the most mesmerizing football the world has seen, so calling him the best ever is not far-fetched.

Besides he also has other awards that Iniesta doesn't have!

Iniesta is on his way to be the greatest, if he can lead Spain to another International success, then...............

So xavi was the heart of barcelona and spain, i thought you guys said it was sergio busquets. O ga o. I asked simple questions you started writing epistle. The answer should not be more than 1 line.

Who is a greater midfielder between Xavi and iniesta?

Meanwhile, is xavi the greatest MIDFIELDER ever?
