    There is absolutely no doubt, Xavi and Iniesta at their best are better than Kaka at his best.... Kaka is a special player but these 2 are better.

    Well, as explained by my friend devlin, kaka at his best was league's ahead of iniesta. and i also think that kaka at his best would be slightly more usefull to a team than xavi, although i do admire the wee guy as out of all the barcelona players it is him i like the most. But it is a matter of opinion and i respect your opinion dear badger

    I honestly don't think so with Iniesta and I love him as a player, I prefer his style but as an all rounder Kaka was better. More assists in a poorer team, more goals in a poorer team, faster, stronger, there about the same running with the ball except Iniesta has better close control, Iniesta has better passing but Kaka isn't bad at either of they things.

    I prefer Iniesta really but I just think Kaka is a far more effective player when he was at his best. He was a complete all rounder.

    Iniesta is still better in my opinion. I wouldn't trade him for any player.

    No player could do better than him than he does for Barcelona mate. Even if you put Cristiano Ronaldo in it wouldn't make up for the loss of what Iniesta gives the team.

    I think it's sad for Kaka that we're all debating who he would be better than at his best when the guy's only 29 he should be at his peak right now.

    Peaky I agree with you on Lucio and Julio Cesar to an extent but Pato still has to prove and Kaka isn't one of the best in the world anymore. I'm not saying Brazil are * but they're nothing compared to the 2002 squad they were unbeatable.

    Brazil are going through a transitional period; they'll be back up there for the World Cup on there home soil.

    The likes of Thiago Silva, Neymar, Pato would have matured by then while Alves and co will provide the old heads.

    I've read through the last few pages here, and while I agree that Kaka is more effective in terms of goals and assists, I prefer Iniesta.

    It is Iniesta's almost telepathic understanding with the players around him, and his intelligent use of space that does it for me. It is like 3 or 4 of the Barca players are playing with the same brain. Incredible to watch.

    Kaka 5 or 6 years ago was incredible. Could win games on his own. His goal for Milan against Celtic in the last 16 was beautiful. Just glided across the turf. The * :icon_mrgreen:

    Kaka at his peak and Iniesta now are pretty much on par although Kaka has more goal scoring ability whilst Iniesta is a superior passer. Neither are as good as Xavi though, Penguin i seen you say Xavi has improved greatly in the past 3 years but he was always this good its just that once Rivaldo left he played in some poor teams.

    Kaka was immense in his Milan days and if he can get to even half of what he once was he will give any team a great service

    Rosell: "Cesc I guess he'd like to join us, like a lot of players would, but we won't go mad and offer silly fees. Last year we offered €40m for Cesc, this season his value is less. What we can offer will also depend on his salary. Clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City are heating up the market, by offering prices out of the market."
