Sergio Busquets

[Corner 456]

dived a few times? Im sorry but if you arent looking at Barca games and havent seen this guy on a regular basis, please dont speak any words on this matter...

He's a cunt and i wouldnt ever want him in Chelsea.

Let's not be small-minded here.

I watch every Barca game and I'm going to say the exact same thing. He's the best DM in the world right now, and he's only 24. He's also exactly what we need in that position.

You don't have to watch every Barcelona game to have an opinion on one of their players or to know how good a player Busquets is. So telling someone not to 'speak any words on the matter' or to 'close this thread' is just silly.

[Corner 456]

That is your opinion about him. I would MUCH rather have someone like Xabi Alonso or Schweinsteiger...even Modric.

Xabi, Schweinsteiger and Modric all play completely different roles than Busquets mate. And Modric has never once played as a DM.

LOL

If we are going to compare different players to play them out of position, I would prefer Messi over Busquets...

Would help if they were defensive midfielders. They play next to defensive midfielders.

I watch Barca play every week without fail! so im pretty confident i have seen more of Busquets than you and yes he has his moments of madness but so do so many players all over the world! including Chelsea players! Busquets antics are no worse than many other high profile players in Europe! fact is he is a genuine world class player and there is no one and i mean no one on the planet who is better than him in his position and at what he does and he would be perfect at Chelsea.

Just out of curiosity would you like Chelsea to sign any of C.Ronaldo, Di Maria, Neymar, Suarez or RVP if they had the chance?

Exactly!

but the thing is what he said doesn't even apply to me as i have pretty much seen every Barca game in the League and CL over the last 3 years so its safe to say i have seen more than enough of Busquets to form an opinion on him and for me he is a joy to watch!

Same with me mate. Obviously, just because I watch every Barca game it doesn't mean I know everything about football. I'm not a pretentious idiot. But it's really baffling how some people act like they know everything about Barca after watching one or two CL games, then go on to call the football they play 'boring'. Bleh.

Busquets is a quality player yes but do you know what... we are not going to get him. He is an important part of Barcelona's play and is a graduate from La Masia who could possibly be in their starting line up for another decade. There is no way he is going to leave, no matter what the rumours says, just not going to happen. Why would he leave Barcelona for? They are the best club i the world, win things regularly and he plays with the best players in the world. Fact!

I know mate. I think everyone knows Busquets would never leave Barcelona. And even if Barcelona were to sell him (for whatever reason I can't think of) it would probably be for over 50 million. Barca only sell players when they have a suitable and better replacement, usually an upcoming player from La Masia.

I just couldn't help but reply to the idiocy.

Look at their graduates who have come through and are regular starters. Valdes, Iniesta, Xavi, Pique, Alba, Puyol. Out of those, who has left or (is likely to leave) since becoming an integral part of thier play. Alba and Fabregas left Barca at early ages so they could get regular football at their age while Pique left due to limited opportunities but now is a regular and will finish his career there but Busquets is in the same category as Xavi and Iniesta and the rest mentioned. He has established himself as an important player them and there is no way he is going to leave. Barcelona and Busquets are probably just laughing to theselves when they see rumours linking him to City and Chelsea.

Yep. Just add Pedro and Messi to that list too. Although, Alba was actually let go when he was a teenager but Barca bought him back this summer for €14 million.

Doesn't he currently play as a defensive midfielder... but if he came here most likely play as an anchorman?

I don't see this move making sense if we're sticking with a 4-2-3-1 (which we are).

If we were still playing a 4-3-3, a midfield trio of Busquets, Oscar (in a more restricted role) and Ramires would make some sense.

He has played as a defensive midfielder and in a stricter anchorman role for Barcelona. He has the discipline and tactical awareness to be an anchorman but also has the technique and agility to be a defensive midfielder that supports attacks. I think it could work either way.

And I do believe that Chelsea will be playing 4-3-3 next season whether Pep comes or not. It seems like Chelsea are just biding their time until Oscar becomes more comfortable in a deeper position. I wouldn't be too surprised if Oscar gets the Iniesta role in the midfield trio if it does happen.

While we talk of barca players, maybe we should try sign that guy Messi, he seems pretty good too.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Would help if they were defensive midfielders. They play next to defensive midfielders.

So? I would still take them over Sergio. Wouldnt ever want a player like him in Chelsea. I would like to be proud and respect every player in our squad, wouldnt be possible with him here.

All this doesnt matter anyway: He wont join Chelsea.

If we get Guardiola we can get Busquets, among other players.

What makes you think that? Do you think Pep can just bring half Barca with him?

[OneMoSalah 8,887]

Well he is just the greatest coach in Barca history and one of the greatest players to come through the ranks they've had so why would they pass up the chance to work with him again? I think if Pep does come, certain players that aren't attainable become attainable. Busquets could be one as could David Villa, Thiago, Sanchez, Pedro, a few of the Barca B players etc.

Villa and Sanchez would be more likely to leave anyway, since they didn't come through La Masia, and Villa is supposedly unhappy at Barca for the past while. Not sure about Thiago, he's pretty much guaranteed to take over from Iniesta so I can't imagine him leaving. I have a feeling Pedro could follow Guardiola though.

[Joe Cool 388]

No. But because its a disgrace to have a thread dedicated to that cunt on these forums.

this is a pretty narrow-minded way to think of things. I don't think it can be argued that Terry isn't one of the biggest cunts in football... however, he does his job on the pitch which is why we love and respect him. Just because Busquets can be a piece of shit at times doesn't mean that he's not a top quality player. As for the diving, come on, when did you tag onto Chelsea? Have you never seen the likes of Robben, Joe Cole, and Drogba dive quite regularly whilst wearing a Chelsea shirt. I just do not get your logic...
