They're good defenders, but Rio is one of the best in the world. Don't get me wrong on what I am saying here. Campbell does his job, but he is not on Rio's level. Talking about who wanted to sign him is moot. Barcelona were interested in Ian Harte at one stage, after all.
Also, I rate William Gallas very highly. Excellent player.
Manchester United's season fell apart after Rio got banned last season, which shows how important he is to them.
Once again, not saying Terry or Campbell are bad players. They are very good players, but they are not on Rio's level. He is up there with Nesta, Cannavaro, Puyol, Montero etc.
