Andrés Iniesta

Deserves to be on a new page. What a legend and how joyful was he to watch in his prime.

What a pic this is.

Sounds like he's going to retire. Vissel Kobe have announced a press conference about him.

So that's 7am CET?

Well, he's not retiring but has extended his contract with Vissel Kobe for two more seasons.

Haha quite the opposite from retirement!

 

[Andresito]

So he'll retire as a 39 year old. Keeping up with Xavi.

Does that contract specifically state he'll be a player for 2 years? Or does it include some kind of coaching role?

Remarkable really, just goes to show how amazing our squad was under Pep. Dani still a huge influence at 38, Xavi until 39, Puyol cut short at 36 due to his knees else he would've played a bit longer too

I look forward to Iniesta's return and see a great profile for a coach in the near future

I wonder for how long Iniesta, Xavi and Alves could've been useful for Barcelona, and how much better the results would be if they had stayed.
With Xavi and Alves I am sure they would bring a lot and be world class for at least 2-3 more years than they did.
Iniesta had started to decline a bit more I thought, but I am sure he would raise the quality of Barcelonas midfield even in 2021.
To be honest, I think Xavi, Alves and Iniesta all would improve Barcelona as players 2021.

Reading the first sentence I thought this was a serious post.

I think both Xavi and Alves moved at appropriate time. Iniesta could have given us an extra year.

Alves you could make a case imo because the replacements were shit.

Iniesta and Xavi left at the perfect moment.
