what does anyone make of this busquets link? it seems to be more and more talk of him and he has signed a contract already.
is barca preparing for pogba?
or are we that desperate we are looking to a football cheat to win us games now?
Say no to busquets.
rather sign diaby again

Great Player, Busquets, would love to see him join Arsenal.
Then we just need a forward. I have doubts in repect of Benzema and Higuain. Lewandowski would be my choice.

If there ever was a chance then it has to be a massive yes. Don't know how things stand with barca and the embargo don't think they would sell if they can't buy

Believe it or not, I was going to ask a similar question earlier but got distracted!
Great minds huh?
Anyways, I dislike Busquets as a person (on the pitch at least, might be a nice bloke in person) and a professional.
However, I respect what he does for the team and how good he is at his role.
If we signed him, I'd be pretty happy, I just wouldn't be buying his shirt any time soon.
I don't see it happening in reality though, Barca can't replace him through transfers until January and Samper, the closest thing to him, may leave too.

I know it's fantasy talk but if we could get busquets then we would have to snap barcas arm off. When we were all talking about a holding mid at begining of transfer window no one would even dream he was a possibility and to be honest he's far better than any of the supposed targets we were linked with

I disagree. Busquets is an average player in a fantastic team. Dives too much, not strong enough to be CDM in a top EPL side. Barca have a rush up midfield that crowds the opposition. This tactic is good for him in that it does not leave him exposed. I hope he doesn't join us to prove my point that he is average

Calling Busquets average is by far the dumbest thing I've read in the 4 years I've been following this site. Wow just wow. No offense Btw, just had to be said.
{Ed001's Note - why? He is not the best in his position or even close to it. Dumb is assuming he is great because he plays for Barca. Probably the most overrated player in the world right now is Busquets, along with Pedro, as people verbally masturbate over them both simply because they play for Barcelona. If people actually bothered to watch them play, they would realise both are not good enough.}

Others who think he's the best in the world for that position albeit they are Spanish, Xavi Hernandez, Vincente del Bosque..

I'll agree on Pedro ed001, but not on Busquets whom I believe is in the top 5 in his position. Xavi said this in June about his teamate and no offense ed but I'll take his opinion over yours on this one. Busquets is not overated and would walk into most top teams starting 11.
"I think he's the player with the best understanding of football, both in attack and in defence, in the world.
"His game intelligence on the pitch is a wonder. And off it, I don't know anyone else whom I have the same affinity with. I think he's my natural replacement in the dressing room and on the pitch.
"He's destined to be the leader for Barcelona for the next decade, without a shadow of a doubt."
{Ed001's Note - I really do not care what Xavi said, he was a great player, but he is no scout and he is talking about his mate. I have heard that kind of crap said about team mates everywhere, but it is meaningless drivel. Busquets would only be top 5 in his position if there were only 4 others who played that role in the world. As it is, there are numerous players who play it better but they just don't have the team mates around them that Busquets has. He is not even half the player of Xabi Alonso or Nemanja Matic, for starters. He is a good player, but he is nowhere near a great one, except when stood next to one of the Barca front 3.....}
