You realize who's being the troll here, right?
Xavi and Iniesta played DM in their early days, so let's play them there despite them being short and non-physical, what a great idea.
And I don't know if you're Scottish or a Celtic fan or anything but SPL is a below average league (fact) and Crosas hasn't yet had a whole season as a starter there (also a fact).

i want him to grow as box to box player so he can play with Busquets together(might be a little too tall for that -_-).

Wow, don't know if you are stupid or just a troll?

He is a central midfielder in Celtic and he played DM in Barcelona – and he has started 41 games for them. Being a regular the whole second half of last season.

Sounds like a great young prospect who deserves some 1st team time… but I'm not sure he's ready to be the sole backup to Busquets, just like I'm not sure Muniesa, Bartra, or Fontas are ready to fill in the 4th CB slot. These positions require experience. What if Busquets is suspended or injured late in the season, do you want to go into a critical game against top opposition with only one inexperienced player as DM? That's asking a lot of the kid.

These guys need to be eased into the first team. Start with Copa del Rey, some matches against weaker teams, subbing in games when we're ahead. In a year or two, maybe 3, they'll be ready to take over a full slot in the rotation, but pushing them in too soon doesn't help. I think we need a solid backup DM and at least one more CB for this season… more than we need a Cesc Fabregas. In 3-4 years sure, the young guys will be the backbone of the team, but this is now.

Hope he doesn't follow Busquets!!! No need for another frail theatrical actor in the Barca ranks!

especially with senna teaching him…
senna was a good decision, he seems to be fine with the bench and during the training sessions he can help with his knowledge

i was really worried about who we were going to sign as a DM until i read this article; the clip shows he's not your typical clumsy giant (which is thefirst impression you get when you see his picture); the guy seems great not just as a DM but he has offensive tendancies (i really like that)and the way he talked about Busquets makes me realize he knows exactly what it takes to be a successful DM. Of course he is still young but i have a really good feeling about him.
i beliave Pep will make the right decision..n promote him

In the video he reminds me more of a cross between Yaya and Busquets? He looks for physical contract to control the opponent Yaya, but his foot skills are more like Busquets? Idk I'm exhausted right now and could be losing my mind.

Marc Crosas is not a DM anyways but seriously, if you are not a starter even in the piss poor SPL how can you possibly play for Barca.

Im watching a pre-seasopn friendly now with villareal against totenham, and senna's age is showing and he really looks off the pace.

Always heard of him of a top top prospect, never seen him play. Looks nice and physical, save money, nice.
