Andrés Iniesta

[Ursegor]

I remember in the early days Chelsea wanted to buy him but we asked for like €22M-ish and they said: Hell naaaw.

So glad we have this guy.

Huh? That doesn't sound quite right that we would have let him go for around € 20 million. I remember Real Madrid wanting to pay his € 60 million release clause back in 2007 but Laporta didn't give a fuck, neither did Iniesta:

Iniesta: "I’ve been told about that and I’m very surprised. I can’t do anything about it but I’d like to insist once again that I want to stay here. When I say I want to retire in Barça, I say it with all my heart. And my wishes are above everything else."

I'd Google it but we all know what appears when you search for "Iniesta" and "Chelsea".

If by early days he means 01-05 or so, Iniesta wasn't nearly as highly rated back then. Also not as integral to our squad at the time.

Wonderful goal! B-e-a-utiful!

That's what we call a golazo.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Is it me or are like 50% of Iniesta's goals golazos or super important. Chelsea 2009, World Cup, Chelsea last year, and a couple of stunning goals from outside the box. There was one I remember from the 2010-2011 season I believe that was from pretty far out.

 

[Ursegor]

What a goal machine.

 

[evilhita666]

The ref should have booked him after scoring that goal, it's just unfair for opposition teams...
