How will he do? I have doubts him succeeding in more physical league like EPL, Serie A or Bundes. A lone DM...getting raped)) Or not?

he got raped yesterday by a midtable Brazilian team,no need to go to other leagues to suck

/trolololool

Lucas isnt a physical DM, yet is very successful in the EPL, cambiasso in Serie A, or guys like Luiz gustavo, a bit of a silly argument imo.

He isnt a destroyer, he is a different kind of DM, and there is no reason why he wouldnt succeed somewhere else

Raping time!

Technically he's great, positioning almost perfect, passing is pretty sweet, not bad in the air... but he lacks that aggression and the physical aspects to be that lone midfield destroyer in the classical sence.

Most teams play with 2 or 3 DMs nowadays, though, so...

He'd be great at Arsenal or any other Liga team. I don't see him in Chelsea or Inter.

Lacking physic, but complementing with art of acting)

one thing ive noticed about him though is that every time he gets out muscled he falls down/dives,so he automatically stops attacks like that....

Why would you have doubts about him doing well in "physical leagues" like EPL, Serie A or Bundesliga when he plays all their best teams in the CL and does the exact same things he does in La Liga?

The thing is, in Barca everyone works their socks off. Something you don't find in many teams. His skills would be put to waste, too, with nowadays the norm being counter attacking football and not possession.

Would have been good besides Schweini...

Like he did vs Real. Falling over like a little girl all the time. No matter how technical he is, DM needs strength in today's world. I want to see him against defensive team like Real Madrid or Inter few more times.

that physical crap is so overrated

tiny little david silva r*ped those so called physicak teams in epl last year

Talking DM here: tackling, fighting in the air, sliding, combating your opponent.

Sneidjer made that pass to Robben which caused one on one with Casillas by owning busquet physically,watch this clip carefully,Busquet fell down when sneidjer pushed lol and it was a WORLD CUP FINAL.

busquets is a DM, but he doesnt have to be physical to be good. i dont see cambiasso outmuscling people and kicking. It's time to come to the realization that there are different kinds of DM maybe. If you want a destroyer, it's a good idea not to buy busquets maybe

zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Another boring "can so and so do it on a slightly chilly evening at Stoke".

For DMS i think it is necessary to have some physicality,but that just my opinion.

DM is DM. Strong player with physical attributes. Otherwise it makes him a CM.

He has played for 3 years for Barca.......how much more proof against "defensive teams" do you want lol

This physical crap is rubbish.

In football, teams intercept passes almost twice as much as they make successful tackles. Simply put, reading and intercepting passes is more important then tackling.

Its only logical, teams pass the ball more times per game then they dribble, especially in center-midfield.

So, Busi, who is one of the very best at reading and intercepting passes, is outstanding as a DM.

This "falling over like a little girl" rubbish is just that, rubbish. It doesnt impact his ability as a DM at all. People just want a rough, tough, rugged DM and think thats the only way they can play. Maybe you personally have seen Gattuso for years and think thats the best/only way to go about the job. I dont know.

Busquets diving makes him the 3rd most fouled player in the CL last season, that is only a plus for us.

this is such a dumb post. Dm label has to do with positionning on the pitch not your physical trait.

essien is a B2B CM, despite being built like a gorilla.

maybe i should call drogba a DM as well, he is so big and strong

Whats this nonsense about you need to be a strong physical DM too succeed in PL.United won the league last year without even playing a DM ffs.

Busquets would be a world class player in whichever league he plays.May not be defined as a destroyer when he plays but a midfielder dont need to be a destroyer too succeed in any league.

When he stops diving and maintains the same contribution to his team, give me a call. And, people dont get all butthurt, because he gets criticism. Just making a point.

Why I think he will not be as good ouside Barca style, is looking at his shorter teammate in Argentinian NT winning Copas...oh wait

Such a failed attempt at trolling lmao

No trolling. This BS about him being a top 5 DM is trolling

And Thiago Silva struggled with Brazil too.Does this mean he will not be as good outside Milan?And he is only good because he plays in Milan's system?
