I think it's a matter of his role, to be honest. He plays better as a part of a system than as the big fish in a small pond. Even with the U21s he does his role well, it's simply the type of role that isn't a flashy one, so its less impressive when done at that level than at the senior level. The fact that he's consistent across both is something I actually think is a good sign, rather than an indicator of potential weakness.

Clasie divides supporters a bit, to be honest. He's a great young talent but it seems some overrate him quite a bit and some underrate him a fair amount... I'm (as usual) rather in the middle. He's certainly got the talent to be a great midfield passer, but it remains to be seen if he can make the step up to show it consistently and force his way into the national team scene on either level (U21 starters or senior squad). I don't personally rate him above Strootman at the moment, but again: Strootman fan here.

also i know arq is bias but he is right. Inigo loves to play the ball, but I can see him being able to sit back and let pique take control. He lacks a little speed but his reading of the game covers that up. goat cb. Barca will need to cough up the 30m. Deouf is a nobody
