Started as a striker, him and Cesc used to come back from games with about 5 each, each game apparently. Very good going forward.
Aah that makes sense then.
Xabi Alonso is a lot better suited for that role though.
Busquets is the holding midfielder and Xavi is more of a deeper playmaker, and so I think Fabregas would have been a better option as the most forward of the three than Alonso.
