Blackburn's Robbie Savage should be up for contention

I know this is a joke, but damn he is TERRIBLE. I remember watching him in the Copa America and he would try his best to frick up every attack Brazil had.

bullshite, no one should trust your opinion.. Iniesta is the best center mid in the world, I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen him lose the ball. Gerrard is very good but he's a different kind of player, he's more power. I'd take Iniesta any day over any center mid in the world.


This is pure gold.

Your best center mid in the world scored 4 goals in 26 league matches last year. He has scored 16 goals in the Primera since he started on Barcelonas first team in 2002. Steven Gerrard scored that many last year alone in the EPL. Lampard scored 3 times as many goals as Iniesta did last year. He passes well but not any better than the two I just listed.

He is an amazing player but lets get fricking real here. Best Center mid in the world is absolutely fricking ridiculous.

Oh, and Buffon is not the best keeper in the world imo. I stand by that.

El Hadji Diouf belongs in any discussion about the best footballers in the world. The only number 9 in Liverpool history to go without scoring a goal in a season.

Iniesta doesn't need to score goals and most teams don't look for goals from their center mids, especially when your team is as loaded as Barcelona is. Of course Lampard is going to score goals, all he fricking does it shoot if he gets a glimpse of the goal. The dude is a joke.

I hope he doesn't think that. He's saying he thinks Gerard is better which is debatable but I think Iniesta is the best center mid and I don't think Lampard is close to either.

I'd probably take Xavi over Iniesta, but it is really splitting hairs. It's almost not fair for other teams having to face a midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi (who basically roams all over the place from forward to midfield)

You seriously, 100% believe that Lampard is better than Iniesta? Like for real?

I don't think Lampard is better than Gerrard. Gerrard is the best center mid in the world. But there are lots of people who will tell you that Lampard is nearly as good. And to say Andres Iniesta is the best center mid in the world is stupid imo. Stupid.

I could probably think of 8 other center mids I would take over Lampard.

yes. 100%.

Do you think Iniesta would be half the player he is if he played in the EPL?

Remeber that time Iniesta knocked Chelsea out of the Champion's League when he came on as a late sub?

ETA: To answer the question: of course he would. It's borderline retarded to think otherwise.

fwiw, I valuate Xavi higher than Iniesta. Hell, Iniesta doesnt even have a consistent spot for Barca, but that has more to do with the focus on three fowards.
