He has been class for many years imo,great winger with extremely good crossing and set piece plays.He Was the best assister in last year la liga apart from real and barca players.Criminally underrated basque. :bow:

Dude you are really barking up the wrong tree. He is very underrated but he doesn't play in the EPL nor is he on Real or Barca.

I would say about 15% of the board have any clue Xabi Prieto is even alive let alone a fantastic footballer.

I would put him in the Di Natale category. Fantastic at what he does but getting up there in age and will never get the recognition he deserves.

Very good winger, i love his touch, beautiful to watch. But he is also a bit inconsistent.

Great player. He deserves to be in a better team, I would pick him over any other winger in Spain. I am a little biased though, apparently my cousins' friend grew up in the same neighborhood as him. But you guys should watch out for Antoine Griezman too, he is in the same team. He will definitely be one of the top 5 players in the next 3/4 years. Griezman/Lorente/Prieto/Vela/Bella/Aranburu/Bravo are all solid players.

+++++10100 for this thread Adit. You know talent.

I've been saying this for years over here.

Xabi Prieto is by a country mile the most underrated player in the Liga. I will go as far to say he is a world class winger.

Over here, they call him the playmaking winger because of his vision and passing.

MUST be called up for Furia Roja.
