To be fair zabaleta ivanovic and Coleman are all quality but i think a fit rafael is on a par with them.

The lad Arsenal signed from Newcastle is a decent player too. Currently injured (forgot his name)
Rafael is probably 6 or 7th best rb in PL. And the PL is lagging a good way behind in Europe currently.
Is the cb position more vital? Yes. But rafael's position in team shouln't be assured for me. I think we can do better.

Ask an arsenal fan what they think about debuchy before you actually just start naming random right backs.
Di Maria basically Nani? Stick to cricket lad.

I think Ivanovic gets overlooked / underrated a lot
quietly goes about being a rock defensively and a handful in the final 3rd
One of Chelsea's better signiings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Best right back in the league for me.

Do you have a script that alerts you whenever nanis name is mentioned?
Smalling is a better right back than Janmaat and he's facking terrible there.
He probably does. But on this one he's right.

No, just one that alerts on ridiculous comments. I've read some stuff on these boards, but good god, that one is laughable.

Mate, you just compared one if the best wide attacking players in the world with Nani! Take a look in the mirror.
Says the person that compared Di Maria with Nani.
Di Maria would get into most teams in Europe.
Nani managed to secure himself a LOAN to Sporting Lisbon.

Advantage of being a big full back. Can ease players off without it looking too bad. Very sound defensively though and attacks fullbacks like a midfielder.
Exactly.
One of the best wide players in the world you say
No more needs to be said

Name me 10 that are better. And please don't include Nani.
Not read responses to this thread but only the op's original post and I entirely agree. I know we have loads of defensive injuries but ffs we still playing players out of position, more than any other club these last seasons.
I would rather give a game to a young RB than have Valencia play there. He is brainless and doesn't understand the position at all.
I like Rafael but rumours are that LVG isn't convinced and the way he mentioned him being injured AGAIN suggests he has lost patience with him too.
Whilst LVG is manager I think Evans, Smalling, Jones, Rafael have massive fights to be first choice recognised CBs. He will buy a CB and possibly a RB in January I think

Van Gaal said he was injured in his pre match interview

Even at United, that's a strange time to pick up an injury
gerrard almost injured himself in his post match interview

I think we're missing the point here, Valencia's Philosophy is that by the end of the season his crosses will cause enough shin and knee injuries to our opponents to tip the balance in our favour....
