It's not at all unrelated. Media and forums were all over Asensio first and Ceballos being the new Iniesta. That went well...Quote:

Madrid media is just as Catalan media. There's not much difference. Made of the same cloth. Fans all over the world overrate the new talents and comparing them to the greats way too soon. Asensio, Ceballos, and most others that were compared with Iniesta don't have 10% of his on field intelligence, nor they will ever have.Quote:

No doubt.Quote:

Please provide some evidence for any predictions made by the media of either of them being the next-Iniesta that are worth damning.Quote:

Yet here we are with half of the fanbase calling Arthur the new Xavi while he'll never have tenth of his creativity, most likely. Works both ways.
You seriously expect me to do a dedicated research on this subject and spoon fed you some sources? :lol: Not a chance.Quote:

We have Arthur man. And Alena. Who cares about Ceballos? :lol:Quote:

sorry man, I like your posts usually but this is exaggeration central. :lol:Quote:

You'd have a point if he wasn't nicknamed the next Xavi (or the next Iniesta, even) before coming to Barca and dominating Modric and Kroos in a manita Clasico win among other things he's done since then. Overrating youngsters is the most natural thing one can do.Quote:

I'll give you that, wanted the sentence to stay relatively similar.Quote:
