i mean to bring through xavi, messi and inestia through a youth system into their prime at the same time was downright disgusting. that busquets, pedro, et al all came through with them is just improper.
good luck spending any amount of money to replace that sort of quality. and the fact they got them free allowed them to spunk on the henry's, villas and alves' of the world so the basically had best in class in every positon
xavi, messi and iniesta though.
if i'm full of caffine of a night i'll sometime watch full HD broadcasts of barca game circa 2008-11. and football is not a game to be rewatched.
******* poetry.
just impossible to recreate that without actually having three once in a generation players come through together.
we rightly hold david silva up as a mercurial genius, but xavi played the game like no midfielder to ever play the game before, i could watch him play for hours.
only way is down after being gifted such talent and then having to compete for it whilst still having to pay for other positions
