The problem isn't a lack of enforcer, it's players who can't/don't run (Busquets, Pique, Suarez, old Iniesta, sometimes Messi). Getting a washed up injuriy prone 31 year old won't fix that.

Am enforcer doesn't stop us from being unable to handle a press, getting overrun, or not being able to break down a bus.

Yes, you're right. However Valverde and the board lack the guts to fast track the younger players so we're stuck betwea rock and a hard place.

I'm pretty sure that if Vidal adapts he will be crucial in the Cl. Our midfield and Busquets, Roberto have been glaring weaknesses. Not only are they slow but they're weak too. In Cl Busquets gets out muscled and out paced so easily. He's so slow and weak even when he tries to foul the opposition he's ineffective.

Busquets may be slow as a snail but I can't recall any major instances of him getting outmuscled. Like, at all. Once he has the ball getting it away from his is always so difficult, he shields it spectacularly even in his slump of form. The main problem is everyone else who plays in our midfield does get pushed around quite a bit.

+1 it’s more on the counter if he gets exposed with anything.... he RARELY gets outmuscled he’s too smart on the ball for that.

Why is he still playing for Chile.....

He really shoulden’t be playing for them anymore given his age and injuries.
This also means he will not be available for our next pre-season (maybe we won’t care too much by then)
