Don't get me wrong-- I'd love to have him on my team, but I'd much rather a Pedro or Iniesta who can move around the field & do damage from other places with both their passing or shooting.

Or, speaking purely hypothetically since we know he's not a team player, but just based on his skill set, a CRonaldo.

I agree, not sure if i'd go with Pedro, I dunno, to me he just seems to lack that final decision, just watching the WC, the guy would get in positions to set his teammates up or score and just take one step too many or hold the ball longer than he had to. Iniesta is a good all arounder, but Xavi, man, I'd say currently based on skill and all around ability, he is the best midfielder in the world today. His passes are great, he never dispossesses, and when not facing a jabulani, takes good free kicks.

I'd like someone like him in the middle of the pitch paired up with a stout defensive midfielder like Melo or Schweiny with two wingers with speed and crossing ability.
