Wow, just when you think the board arrives at the bottom, they prove you wrong!
The statistics do not always tell the right story. If it was not for Cesc we wouldn't have been in the la liga race until the end. Again, his decline in second halfs of season is incredible. His goal/assist performance should not be compared to Iniesta's, as Iniesta was never a heavily scoring attacking midfielder anyway. Iniestas dribblings, his passes etc. Even though not directly linked to goals, are not always found in basic football stats!
This board will make things worse by selling good players for cheap and buying average overpriced players!
