When Iniesta is fit his top level is still better, he is an all time great. It's just hard to get a full 90 minutes from him. Coutinho will be a good successor hopefully and give him plenty rest though.
His price would likely increase in a World Cup year with all these crazy transfers, also better to integrate him now and he can play la liga and give either Messi or Iniesta a rest before big champions league games
Who says he's coming in summer? He clearly wants to come now and the money involved which is the most important factor says he will come now, agents are pushing for it hard
So a matter of seconds actually means hours, a matter of hours actually means days or months. I now understand that bartomeu is in a different dimension from the rest of us
