Which AMF no go clear road for 27 goals and 20 assists? Is the manager crazy?

Ballack moved position - thats not conjecture, thats fact.

Ballack was one of the best AMs when he came to Chelsea - thats not conjecture, thats fact.

No be today wey Iniesta start to play left-wing. Hes prolly played close to 50% of his Barca games there. Na Seydou Keita, Fabregas, and Hleb dey move am go there before. He go just pack load kpatakpata when Lampard land for AMF.

ibeme were u serious about xavi being your best mildfielder of all time or were u trying to be sarcastic?

To me Ballack was a better midfielder than Lampard. He moved position because he met Lampard at Chelsea

If it was Lampard that came to bayern too at that time, he would have changed position to accomodate Ballack

Ferguson was begging Ballack to come to man utd and pick the Captain hand band

At Ballacks peak he was one of the best

Ibime has always loved Xavi. He even opined that Xavi was better than Zidane like 5yrs ago on this forum and he proved his assertion

Benefits of playing in the best team seen in our lifetime. I think he deserves 2 or 3 of those. The others are just carry along. 2013 and 2014 was absolute ojoro - just people voting on reputation. Im sure Pique also has multiple entries.

Dont forget Lampard was 2nd in WPOTY when Chelsea was dominant.

If Iniesta came to Chelsea at Lampards peak, he woulda been asked to play in the pivot just like Ballack who was one of the top 3 AMS in the world when he moved to Chelsea.

Likewise if Barca had been successful in signing Lampard, they would have pushed Iniesta to the left wing to accomodate him.

Like I said, only a mad manager who already has a dominant midfield and attackers would choose Iniesta over Lampard in AMF. Iniesta is good enough to demand a place in the team, but he will find some other position to accomodate him. The currency of a nigga who will score you 27 goals and get you 20 assists guarantees you trophies in that Barca team.

Ermm.... are you skipping the part were he has been the MOTM in the final of the 3 biggest football competitions in the world? If it was one, we would have considered it a fluke, but not 2 but 3! Ibime 3!
You definitely know that this would discredit any thoughts of him been a carry-along in both Spain and Barcelona! Not to mention that he has won UEFA best player! Though it wasn't existing when Lampard was at his 'Peak' , but did he do anything significant to merit the award if it was in existence then?

So Because he was scoring freely for Chelsea that means he would also replicate the same feat in barcelona? who were the strikers he was playing with? can you compare them to barcelona strikers? even the greatest of them all - Drogba hasn't scored more goals in a season than Neymar, not to mention 'em Torres! Besides what did Fabregas goals win for barcelona - 1 or 2 la liga and a trophyless season! Rakitić was scoring many goals for Sevilla, but now he scores far less frequently! He moved to the best club in the world, wasn't his stats supposed to increase bucketloads?

Would Lampard have been half as efficient as El Ilusionista in creating space, dragging out defenders and turning up on the big stage?

U should ask urself that. I guess Chelsea didn't have any trophyless seasons right. U r indeed on sambisa weeds

hensben:
imagine that one called dmcdad said iniesta is shoulder and way ahead of lampard. Base on what na.

U claim to be a barca fan yet u are abusing barca fans
Can't u see see are really a complete dunce?? I mean a mofo, btw. Why did you go trophyless in 2007/2008? Ain't that year included in "always"

ollah1:
Like sleek rightly said earlier, I wonder why a player in his prime, in his boyhood club move away from his favoured position for another player coming from outside

He could have moved under FR buh definitely not under PG. When PG moved him there, his midfield wasn't as productive as him been played in the middle with Xavi hence the exits of keita and fab.

Airmark come ur father said xavi is the greatest midfielder or are u going to tag him ignorant too

Ibime:
It was Pep that moved Iniesta to the left wing so what are you talking about?

Do you know your own club?

Before Pep, Ronaldinho always played left wing.

Infact Im willing to bet that Iniesta played more left wing under Pep than centrally.

List of ninjas Pep played centrally and pushed Iniesta to the wing include Keita, Hleb, Fab4 and Thiago.

If Lampard came to Barca, Iniesta will pack there permanently!!!

Ibime:
Some players are lucky to get lucky on the big stage which creates a big emotional connection with the fans and the whole world watching. That makes them bigger than they are in the eyes of the world.

You cant tell me a nigga who scores 3 goals a season is the greatest just because one of those 3 times was when the whole World was watching.

If that makes him a great, he should replicate that consistently.

In the pantheon of Barca ballers, Iniesta is nowhere near Xavi but it would not surprise me if singular moments like World Cup final etc will make some "highlight watchers" give Iniesta more than his due especially in relation to Xavi.

Xavi assisted twice in Euros final, but that is not a headline to grab your attention.


As for Lampard, he would scatter goals in Barca, no doubt.

Some ninjas used to say that Lampard would not score or assist his usual 20 goals if Chelsea play tiki-taka.

When Ancelotti brought tiki-taka, he scored 27 goals and assisted 20.

More attacking football just means more goals for Lampard. He would fit in with Barca play just as well as he did with Ancelotti and just like Seydou Keita did with Barca. Infact at Barca, he will certainly be aiming for 30 goals a season, 35 in a good season.

Pep spent 4 years at Barca. Hw often were hleb, keita, fab and thiago playing and starting matches? How often did fab start in midfield ahead of the false 9 role?

There are two ninjas in Barca that are out of this World in their position - Messi and Xavi.

Recently you can add Neymar and Suarez to "almost out of this world" category.

Most other players are great but meant to seem greater than they are because of Messi and Xavi who guarantee dominance.

There are some players who are just good but made to look great eg Pedro and Pique.

One or two players are outright shyte but get carried along to win accolades nowhere near their talent, most notably Victor Valdes.

sleekdot:
Ibime if Lampard had gone to Barca under Pep he wouldnt score as much as he was at Chelsea

What helped Lampard at Chelsea was that he was the focal point of the attack, Even your strikers play to knock down for him.

With a phenomenon like messi scoring 60 per season where Lampard wan see 27 when Etoo/Villa sef dey there

Add all 4 together, and tell me how many matches Iniesta played LW.

Like I said Im willing to bet Iniesta played 50% of matches on the wing.

So what are you saying that Pep would never push Iniesta to the wing for an outsider?


Meanwhile Homesteady, can you tell me how Iniesta won MOTM in Euro 2012 final when Xavi had 2 assists and he had none. Iniesta is just a likeable nigga. No way he deserved MOTM over Xavi. I could say the same for few of the awards he won in his career.
