Where is he ranked all time? Surely over Iniesta if we only look at playing, not what they won.
He's in no way better than prime Iniesta.
>>67563504
Iniesta is a legit all time top 20 player.
Modric isn't probably in all time top 100. All he doest is pass the ball asap to the first player next to him.

That's just 20 who's better off the top of my head, i could probably put down about 20 more if i really thought about it. Iniesta would make the top 20 CAMs, but that's it.
>>67563504
Modric is great and has been for the last 5 years or so.
Iniesta was a god in his prime.
>>67563504
Better in centre mid on account of not being made of twigs plus ability to shoot. Worse wide on account of less pace.
>I rate Iniesta
Kek, even Pedro was more influential then >le silky touch man.
Nevertheless all the Uefalona players achievements are exaggerated because they were refballed to multiple CLs. Spain won a few boring 5 matches tournament fair you have to give them that though.

>>67575474
Yeah, uefalona cucked some English teams, so I understand where you are coming from, but riddle me this. Generally accepted that Iniesta is shit now, Barca still winning loliga. They are doing fine without the even more hyped Xavi, yet no one sucks Rakitic's cock that he is top 20 of all time.

there is literally nothing wrong with any of those suggestions
He's literally not better currently than when he was at Spurs. At Spurs he was known as a very good player but he moves to Halal and is suddenly the best midfielder in the world
>>67576276
Exactly, and honestly it's insulting for Iniesta to be compared
in terms of modern midfielders (past 5 years)
1. schweinsteiger
2. alonso
3. modric
4. iniesta
5. carrick

not sure if you're trolling or just a retarded ameriflab, but iniesta isn't even close to any of those players

If Iniesta played his whole career out at Spurs, nobody would give a shit about him or even mention him in the top 50 players in world football.
The only reason he's rated so highly is because he's part of MUH barcelona, MUH messi, MUH tikin tankakaina football, MUH best team ever, MUH trophies
that's how it works, players move to big clubs and they are in the spotlight, they get rated higher than others and get to play for their national teams ahead of other players who play at shit-tier clubs like spurs
how many times have you seen an english player move to manchester united and then within 2-3 months is being called up for england for the first time?
it's like clockwork, ditto germany and bayern
>>67576336
Holy shit WEW

>le fancy ball control and volley man
fuckoff. Literally muh nostalgia babby right there. Zidane always disappeared in big games. Iniesta always showed up in big games. That's literally the difference between the two.

Despite the fact he's obviously not as good as Martial is currently.
But hey, if Martial were to switch to Barca this summer, you'd see the exact same thing take place.
>>67576513
>>BTFO by the likes of van persie and opposition strikers
When did van Persie ever score 31 EPL goals in 1 season?
>>67576483
Maybe if he was joined by Xavi and Messi.
But no. Modric is comfortably better than Iniesta. Like it's not even a debate. Bit of a weird argument to say that he isn't.
>>67576507
>INIESTA IS GOOD
>HE WON THINGS
>FUCK OFF PAKI
excellent analysis there jaquan
>>67576513
Suarez was objectively better at liverpool than he is at barca right now.
>Despite the fact he's obviously not as good as Martial is currently
>>67576551
stay mad, i've seen my country win a world cup and two euros!!, and iniesta score in the biggest of stages, you have to go to a fucking museum for proof that england won one jajaja! basically like dinosaurs.
Why do Americans pretend to like "soccer"?
>>67576531
When did van Persie play in a side where the tactic was literally "Go out and score 5-6 goals lads, fuck defending, we'll just score more than them and hopefully win the game"?
van Persie in that Liverpool side would have hit 40+
>>67576537
Modric is probably currently better, but their primes are miles apart. Iniesta will actually be remembered in 20 years' time.
Stay mad, kebabs
>>67576588
And the reason why those tactics were viable was because of Suarez. When he was banned they scored 1, 1, 1, 2 and 0 goals.
>>67576598
>Iniesta will actually be remembered in 20 years' time.
Will he fuck. All people will remember is Messi. For a start Xavi was better than Iniesta, and everyone has already forgotten about him so I'd imagine people will forget Iniesta even sooner.
It'll either be Messi they remember, or that great Barcelona 'team' i.e. not singling out any individuals

Peak Rooney was miles ahead of peak Suarez. Saurez was comparable to Sturridge in that they were both about the same level that year.
>0 league titles
>>67576676
>(you)
>>67576670
He objectively was though. and many would argue Busquets was more important than Iniesta because of the role he played.
>>67576676
>peak rooney was miles ahead of suarez
thats bad bait and you know it. its time to stop posting
Iniesta is shit, and even more without Messi
Modric is GOAT and actually an important player to its team no matter who else is playing

Didn't realise that people actually don't subscribe to this view. Odd really.
It's consensus view among learned circles.
2008 Rooney was better than anything Suarez has ever done. He was better than Cristiano that year and deserved the Ballon d'or over him.
inb4 some retard sends me goals scored stats

>>67576773
this is true but nobody other than united fans know about it as they only watch MOTD highlights and not every united game
your average /sp/ football fan does the following
>watches their own team play in big games
>watches the CL semi-final and final as well as any 'big' games i.e. arsenal v bayern, madrid vs city etc. etc. etc.
>watches MOTD highlights
>listens to the sky wankfest over whatever player they are hard for (suarez, vardy, bale etc.)
and that's literally it, that's how they make up their minds about players and how good they are
then they come here and make threads like "iniesta is GOAT" and "SUAREZ IS THE BEST STRIKER EVER"
it's cancerous and it's never going to change

I agree with the american in this why do you rate people that you've never seen play aside from black and white highlights on youtube and wikipedia stats? I don't understand why people like to immortalize anyone who they didn't see play like some sort of urban legend, football like any other sport changes a lot, strategies evolve, players become fitter and faster, there is a much bigger supply of players that only the best of the best get to play in the top leagues and everyone playing there is a full time and paid professional footballer
Not saying they aren't good but they aren't better than the current era of players, atleast the ones that the american guy mentioned
tf tp me all you want but this is the truth
>>67576585

When has the USA won the world cup?
>>67576903

It's not even close to being the most successful league. Serie A and La Liga won many more titles
>>67576918
>that you've never seen play aside from black and white highlights on youtube and wikipedia stats
Found your problem.
With a little bit of research and effort, it's possible to watch a shit-load of games from the 50s onward. All the major cup finals from every league and in europe at a minimum. Entire world cup tournaments, loads of highlights (like thousands of minutes of footage per player).

Literally no idea what you're trying to say. The relegated teams from England earn more than the winners of Serie A, that's what I mean by success.
