So sorry to butt in here, but this backstory is FASCINATING, YO. May I ask, was what Xavi and Iniesta did the full-on medical procedure you're talking about or what?

And I like the idea of Villa developing all these spontaneous bonds with other people, lololol. (I personally kind of love the idea of him making these bonds with more than one person--Silva, Torres, Reina, all to various degrees, and it being the real explanation for how moody-tetchy he can get on occasion, and nobody figures it out until he comes to Barcelona and bonds with Messi.)
