@ibime
I must give it to you on your description of Xavi, I admire your incisive submission on the subject. Your listed qualities and attributes are part of what made me call him my greatest CM of all time. I am aware of the fact that the word midfield is made up of AM, CM and DM, hence the word 'greatest CM' because there would definitely be varying opinions when it comes to naming the greatest midfielder. While there are many that can generate lots of debate on who is, I still don't think there's anyone that could match Xavi when it comes to CM.
The debate on Iniesta vs Xavi, it's safe to say these two are legends of the club with so many things in common albeit in a distinctive way. Both combined together with the brilliance of Busquest to define an era(in midfield) where Xavi was the dictator, commander and the conductor while Iniesta was the protagonist.
Xavi is the master of both long and short range passes, who could send a pass pass 3-4 defenders to set his target free on goal, while Iniesta is the master of tricks and magical skills, who could dribble pass 3-4 players to set his target free on goal.
Xavi creates spaces for himself to put his players in good position to operate while Iniesta drags players out of position to give his players spaces to operate.
They are both solid in holding the ball, keeping possession thick to wear down the opposition. They both show up in the biggest occasions where it matters most. Stats and assists alone can't describe their greatness as one needs to see them display their mastery on the field. They complimented each other perfectly and formed arguably the best 'duo partnership' in football. They both mean a lot to the fans.
All in all, while Iniesta would have many to contest with as AM, I doubt if there's a player that could match Xavi as a CM.
But, when it comes to picking who is greater of the two, individual preference will surely come to play as we are all idiosyncratic in nature. As for me? It's Xavi all the way, my favourite and my best.

You are sick in the head. I don't always like arguing with Chelsea fans because of idiotss like you who would hijack the situation and make it turn to high scale beef. Even at that I had argued with him here not once not twice, ask around. But the level of stvpidity shown on that your barca thread is second to none. you are the same guy that was ranking Valdes as one of the best in the world because of his superb ball distribution. I was thinking man utd fans had the most senseless fans on nl, when I discovered that only 3 barca fans have soccer brain , then I turned that place to my residence cos of comic reliefs. It's nice when a fun-seeking non drunkard is in the midst of senseless drunkards. Dmcdad should continue serving y'all legend beers. It brings more balderdash out of you guys and someone like me enjoy it.

Sharrrap! You are a scared ninny!
You insulted everyone on barcelona thread that called Xavi the greatest, but when Ibime said the same thing, you all of a sudden changed your approach towards the matter by saying everyone has his opinion! Biko what can we easily deduce from the matter, if not that you are afraid?

Nobody drags most senseless fans in the world with Chelsea, it's so bad that it has caused a segregation here in Chelsea's thread - Wise fans and the senseless fans! you obviously know which category you belong to grin

So you are still on this Valdez issue? You obviously have data, would it kill you to browse about the importance of his ball distributions?

None other than Frans Hoek, Van Gaal's most trusted trainer of keepers and now goalkeeping coach at United, told a Dutch newspaper in 2013, as per Adam Crafton for The Daily Mail:
"[Valdes] is a goalkeeper but he is also the 11th outfield player and capable of constructing play. [ Chelsea's Thibaut] Courtois for example is physically imposing and has charisma but he does not have this ability to construct the game.
"The work of Valdes at Barcelona consists 80 per cent of the time in constructing play, while the other 20 per cent of the time he does the normal work of a goalkeeper. He receives very few shots against his goal."
Concerning that Courtois part, I'm always baffled when I watch chelsea games and see most of his goal-kicks going out for throw-in! How would a supposed big club goalkeeper be so horrible at ball distribution? If he was in barcelona, he would either improve or sit his ass on the bench! Look at Bravo for eg, he knew that Ter Stegen had far better ball distribution than him, and he tried and is still trying to improve that aspect of his game.

I gave you reasons for not always engaging my co-cheslea fans here in back and forth, it's outta respect, i am not afraid of ibime or anyone. If he had stated his preference for xavi as the greatest midfielder ever on barca thread where we were arguing it, i would have explained how a 34 year old zidane was more influential in his team than xavi in his peak years. This is chelsea thread, xavi and zidane have nothing to do with anything chelsea or epl. If all these reasons could n't sink into your brain then i dont have the time to convince a stark dullard how 0 is less than 100.

Man i agree with you tho most of his goal kicks always fall to the opposition not throw-in except If he is under pressure to clear the ball.

mehn, it was AWESOME! but besides that, Leicester played some neat, straight to the point good football yesterday. One time passing, wingers doing their thing, the fullbacks worked tirelessly and that little engine room called Kante is some player..and the other guy Drinkwater. What a combo. I'm very much impressed.

The long range pass from Mahrez... shocked cool

They played beautiful football... cheesy

Sunderland played Man City yesterday and this was what the fans had to say about Kirchoff the Bayern waste product vs one of EPL best offence

Jan Kirchhoff’s man of the match performance was the best by any midfielder in the Premier League this season, insists Sam Allardyce.

Kirchoff made it difficult for City to extend the advantage provided by Sergio Aguero. He touched the ball 90 times, more than any player on the pitch, ahead of influential opponent David Silva (87).

He won three aerial duels, and won six tackles, with five interceptions
, each the highest among the Sunderland side.

Here is a look at how Sunderland fans reacted to his display on Twitter...
