Scholes best XI he played against - 3 City Players

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Sven sticking with the rigid 4 4 fucking 2 did for scholes. He wanted lampard and Gerrard as the middle 2.

Top player. From my neck of the woods and not a bad bloke

Those 3 played in a diamond with a holding mid would have been tasty.

Admittedly haven't seen him on anywhere in a while. Meant more in terms of him talking about our star players.

Only ever seen him call the rags boring on TV which is fine by me.

He doesn't rate their chances this season :)

Fair enough and your entitled to your opinion of course.

Personally I believe, in this market today, a 23yr old Paul Scholes would be virtually unbuyable. Minimum of £250-300 million. At least.

The best midfielder I’ve ever seen.

You might want to tell that to his manager at the time. Not only could he not get in England's team, Ferguson left him out of most important games, including two Champions League finals, unable to get in the team ahead of Anderson and Park ji-Sung. Who's the best defender you've ever seen? John O'Shea?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He had more natural ability than Lampard and Gerrard. His range of passing was incredible.

He quit because successive England managers played to the media gallery about playing Gerard and Lampard together in the middle and shunting Scholes our to the left.

And he was correct to do so as he was better then both of them put together. It was disgraceful the way the English fa treated him.

Paul scholes May have been a utd player but he was he greatest English midfielder , alongside gascoigne in decades.

An absolutely superb footballer.

Would you quit your national team just because you were played out of posistion ?
You would and should be beyond grateful to have the chance to represent your nation and give 100% wherever you’re picked to play. I’ve seen Zaba played in various posistions, do you think he would ever moan and quit ?

Most overrated player ever for me and a dickhead to boot.

More talent than Gerrard and Lampard combined?! No chance.

No that accolade surely goes to one David Beckham. Most one dimensional footballer to grace a pitch.

Whilst I get what you saying in certain ways I wonder if Sterling sees it that way at times.

If I was him I would have fucked playing for England right off.

Certainly one of the best passers of the ball I have seen. Consistent criticism of how poor the rags have been over the last few years is fun to watch too.
