Once in a generation talent. One of my absolute favourite players to watch.
Absolutely agree. A joy to watch.
Not sure if it was ever an option but I would have very mixed feelings about watching him playing out his playing days at some middling Premier League team prepared to pay him top dollar for the privilege..and maybe so does he hence he's taking himself off where he can finish his career where he's still going to be one of the best players in the league. And earn a few bob...
I believe he came out and said he would never play for a team that could possibly play against Barcelona. Of course could come to the Prem but would rule out the Champions League teams.
TBF John Terry said the same and he could play Chelsea twice next season
I get the impression that Iniesta is a slightly more honourable/honest man than John Terry
If he cared that much he wouldn’t be off to China.
He can't last 90 minutes for Barcelona anymore. I think he's recognised he ca no longer play at the top level in terms of fitness. Why not take a payday for the last couple of years? He's nothing left to prove whatsoever.
Yer, has probably earnt fuck all in his career ....
So Iniesta has realised he can't compete as he wants to at the top level anymore but still wants to play. What do you suggest he does?
I don't get it. Just retire as a one club man, rather than having a footnote club at the end of your career that nobody will remember or care about.
Does it matter if no one cares? Get paid £20m a year, enjoy the experience living in a different and interesting culture, play a bit of football with less pressure now you're getting towards the end of your career....

I was surprised that the last non Ronaldo/Messi winner was Kaka, back in 2007!
Amazing that in 2005 there were 2 english players in the top 3

Personal view is he is not tall enough and I would prefer someone with League One experience like Carruthers at Shef Utd.
