nani > valencia > mata

posted on 13/2/12

1. Nani
2. Valencia
3. Obertan
4. Bale
5. Mata

In that order. They're the only wingers in this league who I really rate. Unless you want to count Silva as a winger, but he isnt really.

Actually, Bale above Valencia.

Bloodred - Obertan!? Surely you are joking right? I would have Mata over Bale..

Valencia shouldn't be in the top 10 let alone top 5!! Vastly overrated.

valencia is the best winger in the league at the moment, tore possibly one of the best lb's in the league apart on saturday

I don't think Mata is a winger, he can play on the wing but it is not his best position...

Valencia form wise trumps absolutely everyone though I would have rated Bale, Mata and Nani higher than him before this season but if he keeps this up then I cannot see how he couldn't go top of the list.

Valencia could beat Bosingwa at left back

A lot of people look at Valencia and see a very one dimensional winger. He is to an extent, but he is also very, very effective.

I too was totally unconviced by Valencia after his first season at the club. It was only after he came back from his injury last season that I realised just how good he was, and how much we had missed him.

Valencia reminds of Beckham. No mucking about, he just gets the ball into the box, which is what a winger should do.

I don't even regard Mata as a winger. For me he's more like a CAM or a 2nd striker.
But Nani is the best winger in league IMO. Him Valencia amd Bale, my top3 wingers.

In Europe only Di Maria is better than Nani I reckon.

1. Valencia
2. Nani
3. Giggs
4. Young
5. Rafael
6. Fabio

all world class

no other wingers exist

Mata better than Nani and Valencia stop it your killing me.

Wonder where the votes were done ??

Fans voting on that site are club biased. Most of them are from Nigeria and Ghana etc, not saying that makes their opinion less valid however due to the presence of Drogba, Essien and Mikel that region are Chelsea mad and vote on club lines. Look at Goal.com for another example.

Nani, Bale and then Mata for me.
Valencia is on fire at the moment but it wasn't long ago that people were saying he is a 1 trick pony and doesn't have a left foot etc. Mata was a LW at Valencia and has played centrally this season but he is still a great winger.

Bale doesn't have much apart from 10 goals and 8 assists.

I think wingers in general are a dying breed

New tactically astute managers are changing wingers into free roam midfielders

Downing is the only natural winger in world football

posted on 14/2/12

Amazing, a player who isn't a winger wins a poll for being the best winger.

Football fans eh

Mata is quality, wasted at chelsea.

'potential to be world class' - I HATE THESE WORDS!

posted on 14/2/12

Don't really think of Mata as a winger, he isn't as effective in this role than he is in the middle, I think it's more due to the fact Chelsea have nobody else to play there to be honest.

I don't think Bale is over rated either. If he signed for Man Utd I think a lot of you would have a sudden change of opinion.
