Another example of how no United player is considered great by any rival fans. Yawn. get a ****ing grip. The guy is widely considered the PL best ( only morons think **** house Terry was better, rio was a footballer and a defender which set him apart from the normies like Terry ). Maldini has longevity, was fantastic but his best was before Rio's day so isnt in this non debate. Nesta however is and he is the only one worth a mention.
Rio was at his best a great defender. No one disputes that. he just wasn't as good as many of the great defenders of modern football who were individually brilliant. Rio has been 2nd fiddle to Vidic for years lad. So, for half his career he was not even the best defender at United.
Rio at his peek was better then vidic and pissed all over terry and that scouse ****** carragher. People dont like Rio so they suddenly think he was poor lol.
Classic, anyone who disagrees with your red tinted (actually plastered would be a better description) opinion is a moron. We can forget Maldini if you want to, even though he played consistently brilliantly until his retirement date. Go abroad and ask what people think of Rio in comparison to the likes of Cannavaro, Nesta, Puyol, Desailly, Thuram etc etc What blinding irony Nobody said he was poor you thick cretin.
Exactly. If I had the time I could probably put a list together of at least 30-40 defenders better than Rio during that time period. Some of the comments on here by Utd fans are comedy gold. Matths knowledge is spreading
Im genuinely shocked that some people believe he was the best defender in the world........ Really?! Seriously?! Almost speechless. I'm a Chelsea fan and I love John Terry, and he is a great player, but even I can see his flaws as a footballer. Please tell me you are kidding UIR? This is a WUM right?
You would think that wouldn't you because of the ridiculousness of the claims But.. lets not forget the Worried thread, or the claim that Messi will be "Just some player in a few years"
