Andrés Iniesta

Um, okay.




@ the hate Iniesta is starting to get for wanting a slight increase in wages. If all he cares about is the money he would've asked to leave to join PSG or Man City. :/

We don't know that the offer was rejected because of wages, it could have been anything.

He's for sure not getting younger by the day, wouldn't be angry if we sold him for big money. Should've done that some months ago, though, so we could've bought Isco to replace him. Kid is going to be twice the player Iniesta ever was, and that is me being honest and talking with my Iniesta bias glasses off.

Supposedly it has nothing to do with money (basically everyone in the media agreed that Barcelona would offer him a contract making him the second most earning player in Barça, so no surprise). It has to do with some decisions in the board, mainly about the departures of Emili Ricart and Éric Abidal.

Ricart's departure is yet another blackeye in the Rosell tenure, a tenure that I long predicted would lead to the eventual implosion of this Barcelona era

Somehow I want to blame Valdes for this.

That's what I heard too, that he might have been disappointed by some of the board's decisions and things like Valdes' decision to leave.

It would be catastrophic if we lose him.

Clearly this board is doing a great job at unsettling. Cruyff, Pep, Valdes, Abidal. Miss anyone? Iniesta next? Rossell OUT!

Some real sh!t going on in the board !!

Isn't there any way to propose a lack of faith election by the other board members, stake holders or club members ? Or Ro$ell has bribed them all ?

what the fuck did I just read? I just really want to report this post to mods for being absolutely retarded

It's just a parody of what some members have said earlier, relax. The reactions are hilarious.

Your post brings as much value to this forum as his did. I think the first 4-5 quotes of this who shot him down were enough, don't get why people quote it after 15 people already have saying the exact same thing.

Regarding Iniesta's renewal, some people here seem to think that people should want to play for Barcelona for free or else they are greedy fuckers. If his renewal problems is about money, the club should be willing to offer him as much money as city of PSG would, he's been top 5 in the world for 3-4 years now and will probably be for a few years to go. Worth every penny.

If the renewal is going slow due to other reasons, it's not worth speculating about it as we cannot know for certain what those reasons are.

From Marca:

Iniesta playing hard to get

Andrés Iniesta's contract renewal is not going to be a walk in the park. The Barça player is in no hurry to sign and has not yet accepted the initial offer made by Barcelona. It is not that he does not want to remain at the club, but rather that the offer does not meet his expectations.

A few days ago, the first and only meeting was held between the two parties. Barcelona made an offer to renew his contract until 2018, with the option to add on an additional year. In financial terms, the club wanted to place him just below Leo Messi on the squad's pay scale. This would see Iniesta earn €12 million gross per season plus incentives. The add-ons would be worth around €3 million more.

The player wants to take his time and wait for the club to improve its offer. He is not concerned about being the first, second or third highest paid player in the squad, as he told 'La Gradería' yesterday. What he wants is for his expectations to be met.

Talks are not deadlocked. 'Azulgrana' sources have confirmed that both parties are continuing to negotiate the matter, although they did not offer any more details on how the talks are proceeding. What is clear is that the club will have to improve on what they have already proposed.

Iniesta knows that this will be the final contract of his career, seeing his commitments to Barcelona come to an end at the age of 34. He wants to be valued the way that he deserves to be (something that has not always been the case), and he is tightening the screws.

 

[raskolnikov]

Being a multi millionair, earning 12 mil a year in a country filled with people suffering due to the economical crisis and he wants more?
I love Iniesta and hope he stays with Barca till he retires but this is some ungratefull behavior.
Football players live in this narcissistic bubble and know fuck all about what is going around in the real world, or don't care.
How much money is enough?

 

[barcanuck]

Only worried about Rossell screwing it up that's all. Iniesta has proved to be one of the most down to earth people in this industry.
