Depends where he plays but it's largely irrelevant what I think about him, the subject is Busquets.
If you read what some of the world cup winning managers have quoted about Busquets (people that know a lot more about football than you or I) then you will see what kind of player Busquets is. So many talented coaches can't be wrong...I just happen to agree with them.
"Positionally, he seems like a veteran with or without
ball With the ball he makes what is difficult look easy: he disposes of the ball with one or two touches. Without the ball, he gives us a lesson: that of being in the right place to intercept and running just to recover the ball."

"He's one of the greatest talents that has been given to Spanish football. This is a discovery. The first time I saw Busquets playing, I called a friend and said: ‘I saw a player from an extinct species’. He's a star."

"If you watch the whole game, you won't see Busquets—but watch Busquets, and you will see the whole game."
Del Bosque

Pish, he's a lucky bastard. Every forward seems to run straight at him to allow him to get the tackle in.
In other words completely failing to recognise that reading the game is an integral part of playing it well. What was it Paolo Maldini was quoted as saying ?
If I have to make a tackle, I've already made a mistake
He was a very talented defender.
As was Alan Hansen.
And Terry Butcher.
So was Laurent Blanc.
I dont think Ogbonnas very good though.
But then again hes been picked by Italian Managers.
So he must be.
