You were the one who compared Busquets to Caceres. So I showed you the good games that Sergio played at Barcelona, recently (and quite important ones)- as a reason why people are not shouting "get rid of him". Not because he is from La Masia- but because he had some really good games and showed talent. I cannot for my life remember one good game that Cceres had at Barcelona. Simple as that. And that's a difference between them.

I never said Busquets is in Spain's first eleven though- i said he is in the team. Considering how good players Spain has in midfield that's a big thing in my book.

Believe me- I am the last one to shout "sack" after one or two mistakes. You're right- Valdes had two pretty bad games recently. But… It's a different thing to have one or two mistakes- it's yet another to be of a different class. IMO Caceres is not in the class of Barcelona. He is probably Juventus class, which is not bad- but he also needs regular football. If he came back to Barca- he would sit on the bench again. And the way I see it- this guy needs playing time like a fish needs water.

So to prove your points u only choose to pick the best games played by that player… silly me, i thought i was debating.
I never said Busquets is not barca material.. i said he is not 1st string barca YET… as in he can be. oh and btw the cdm in the national team is Senna not busquets.. Senna has been injured thats why he didnt play on qualifiers.
If u dont like uruguayan defense that ok.. I dont either.. but thats a different point to say caceres is not good enough for barca. Shit after the kiev game Valdez should never be our GK also.. but thats football.. we make mistakes..
an btw im not uruguayan

Now, after Dynamo game- please do tell me how many bad passes by Busquets have you seen? I think you should be the one who should check with reality… or whatever that pigeon-English fraze was…
Please do tell me how many bad passes did Busquets have during the Inter game?

I think you're the one who is not in check with reality. Busquets is a Spanish international I don't think there is a better national team in the world a the moment. Not Barca quality? Wake up and smell the coffee. Or better yet-watch some Barcelona games with your eyes open…

Oh I’ve seen Uruguay play- that’s exactly the reason why I don’t want their defenders anywhere near Barca side.
Busquets bad at passing? Yes, of course- he was particularly bad during the last Champions League final against Manchester. Man, all those inaccurate passes…
Tell me- are you Uruguayan by any chance? Cause I can’t think of any other reason why would anyone think that Caceres is a Barca quality. I am not saying he’s bad or terrible defender- I am saying he is not Barca quality. Wake up and smell the coffee. We need the best of the best- not players who can’t play in big games, play aggressive and therefore put the whole team at risk. We need fighters (Puyol)- but fighters who think on the pitch. It will be better for Caceres (he’ll get better, I’m sure), for Juventus (they’ll have a decent defender) and for Barcelona (we’ll get money for him, hopefully for Hleb, add some and buy someone decent) if he leaves.

for 42 million we could have bought any defender in the world really… from any club. terry,vidic,carvalho,chiellini,gamberini,subotic,lucio, walter samuel, chivu, etc.
hell we cud have even bought maicon and had the luxury of 2 of the worlds best RBs…LOL!
But life does not work out perfectly always… so we shud just deal with it. also.. i do think chygrynskiy will eventually turn out to be an elite defender like the ones mentioned above… maybe not in the next 2 matches.. but definitely over the next 1-2 seasons. and thats why Pep bought him.. he is only 22! am sure over a long term chyggy will be a great asset.

Would Caceres be satisfied about just being a back-up for Alves? I think not – it looks like he's only developing through a big amount of playing time, and Barca can't offer him that, neither as a CB or a RB.
Next summer we will have too many CB's: Puyol, Pique, Chygge, Marquez, Milito, Henrique, Caceres and back-ups in Fontas (RB as well) and Muniesa from youth – that's 9, minimum 7.We have to cut down to 4 or 5 in the first team, and I wouldn't pick Caceres for the spots. We have loads of upcomming potential in Fontas and Muniesa.

busquets is not good at barca fast pace passes. he makes constant mistakes in that area, amd btw passing in barca is basic. His passes are very inaccurate AND he blunders the ball from time to time. Im i saying he is a bad player? no.. but he is not at barca 1st string level yet… still pep takes his chances with him… all im saying is that Caceres is the same.. sure he makes mistakes but if u dont think he is a good defender.. then u just one of those stupid fans that dont checks with reality. Busquets comes from barca cantera, thats why he gets the chances even thou he is just a good rep for toure. caceres would be a good rep for dani.
oh and btw.. if u never seen uruguay play then you have no right to talk about caceres fouls.. ALL uruguayans play a VERY aggresive football. as in a lot of fouls.. but those are things Pep can get rid off in practice.

Caceres-Pique-Chygry-Henrique… Right… against Real that would be 2:6- for them. Nice. That's probably what every Barca fan wants to see…

Busquets doesn't make such basic things wrong- and Valdes, don't be daft. He's having a really good season, a goal against Depo was his first major mistake entire season. Should have been here (or rather Pep's blog) last season when he was having with mistakes- yeah, there were voices "get rid of him".
Caceres is good enough to play against teams like Almeria or Xerez. Selecting him against someone stronger is a suicide. It's not only Beyrn game- remember qualifier against Argentina? Or tell me- when exactlky did he have ONE good gamne in barcelona colours? Maybe that's why people don't say "has to go" about Busquts, because he actually did play some really good games and can see his talent?

If they are really willing to pay around 10 million- I would only say "bye, good luck". He's good for Juventus or something. Jesus, people, Barcelona is really different level, were you born yesterday or just joined in after the treble?

Oh yes, that's what we need- a player who will either be sent off (Uruguay-Argentina) or makes stupid mistakes (Juve-Bayern) in the games that really matter…

Man, yesterday he showed exactly why he doesn't play for Barcelona this year- and why he is not going to come back… I hope, anyway…

*sigh* Just cause a Caceres made a mistake today doesnt mean he is not Barca material. He would be GREAT back up for alves. He is fast, strong and attack minded. He has been playing very solid for Juve and is going to get only MORE experience in the World Cup, since he is part of the 1st string for Uruguay. I have seen Busquets made sooooo many blunders for barca since last season but I dont see anyone here saying, "GET RID OF HIM". Same goes for Valdes… Barca already got him, he i getting very good experience as a defender on the best defensive league worldwide… AND he is still in his early 20s.
