He was suberb for sevillia as well, and is suberb for Barca now, I'm sorry 20 assists from right back last season, however much of an overrated stat that is, is impressive, and exists for a reason.

And before you say that its only because of the team he is in, Daniel Alves figures are pretty much the same when a sevillia player. In fact the last time he got under 10 assists was back in 2003/2004, or otherwise known as his first season in Spain.

Lies, damn lies and statistics, or whatever that quote is.

But honestly, it's just my opinion, I don't think he is a very good player, I watch an awful lot of Barca's games and he never does anything to impress me.

Pretty much impossible to get in considering his position. They probably consider him as a forward.
There is an attacking midfield option including Silva, Sneijder and the like. Obviously UEFA just think the competition is of a higher quality than Rafa.

If they see him as an attacking midfielder they should note that VDV was nominated for EPL player of the year and is outscoring practically all other midfielders in England.

This award is merely a "who is the most popular" competition. As a Dutchie I know that Sneijder has been very dissapointing so far for Inter so shouldn't be nominated at all.

Out of interest, how much has Robben actually played to merit his inclusion?

I was talking about the attacking midfielder candidates re Sneijder, but you're right Robben is another one who is probably there because of reputation. Has played 6 games in the league so far, albeit scoring 4 times.
