One of the absolute best.

Our goalkeeping colossus Ryan towers above him by a massive 13 cm. (1.84m compared with Iniesta's 1.71m)

Too short.

And with Stoke relegated, he wouldn't even be able to do it on a cold Monday night up there.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I love watching that man play. He is an artisan.

I was watching Inter's match with Lazio.

Interesting refereeing. Two red cards for Lazio and a penalty for Inter. All looked a bit suspicious to me, especially as it was dubbed the €100m match for Champions League qualification.

Phenomenal player - I can't think of a better midfield pair than him and Xavi, they could have walked into any team in history in my view.

As incredible as the likes of Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Eto'o, Ronaldinho et al are/have been for Barca, it was always Xavi and Iniesta who made the team tick.

On an international level, he scored the winner in a WC Final which puts him in rare company based solely on that.

You forgot to mention that the Lazio defender who wiped out the Inter striker to concede the game changing penalty, has pre-agreed to join Inter in the summer...

Could do a job !

He's no Gross.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

One of my favourite players of all time, an absolute joy to watch.

When he and Xavi were at their peak, those Barca and Spain sides were the greatest club and national sides I’ve ever seen, mainly because of those two.

Their quick feet, speed of thought, movement and one touch passing were on a different level to anything we’ve ever seen before or since. De Bruyne and Silva are currently the nearest but they’re still some way off.

 

[Easy 10]

Simply an exquisite player, an absolute artist on the ball. The pitch was his canvas, his feet gave the brush strokes.


Bloody hell. I should write for The Times.

Good in his day

Just good?

Agreed, one of the greats. He's also been such low maintenance. He hasn't chased headline, or becoming a "brand", he has just got his head down, worked hard, and produced some absolutely fabulous football. To have had him and Xavi come along in the same generation for Barca has been incredible, and for that to be when they have Messi in front of them, and over such a long period of time. Incredible.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Absolutely unbelievable player. Finally got to see him in the flesh in January as Barca thumped Levante. Only lasted 55 minutes but, in that time, he was the conductor to Messi's violin virtuoso. Everything centred around him, rhythm, creativity, balance. Only sorry I didn't see him in his pomp playing with Xavi - the telly can't have done them justice.
