Paul Scholes for me?.....Without a shadow of a doubt the GREATEST english midfielder ever. The PASSING, The VISION, the CREATIVITY, the TECHNICAL ABILITY, the AWARENESS, the PERIPHERAL EYE FOR THE KILLER BALL...
I could go on for ages. XAVI and INIESTA = EAT YOUR HEART OUT - RESPECT to the Ginger Prince from a CHELSEA FAN
I'm saying Zidane is as good as anyone after Pele and Maradona.
More tricks and flicks? Zidane played it simple too, son - he was the most graceful of players. Notice how Scholes never wastes a ball? Zidane wasted it fewer times. His vision, touch, technique, strength and more make him the most gifted footballer of the modern generation and his influence and medals confirm his status as one of the greats.
He's my favourite player ever and even though people who know about football seem to praise him, I still feel he's underrated too. In 2006/2007 he should have been player of the year and should have won goal of the year for his volley against Villa.
I think you have to be in the media a bit more to get recognition, as stupid as that sounds. Look at Beckham - his face is everywhere and he managed to come second TWICE in the FIFA World player of the year polls. Ridiculous.
i know thats ridicolous scholes is ten times better than beckham but he never wins any awards !!!!! ininesta of barcelona is the exact same so under rated
why does everyone put fucking pele and maradona infront of everyone? bollocks! give me one good reason why pele and maradona are better than zidane? and don't give me this pele scoring 2000 goals shit, my gran could have scored that many goals in the brazilian league! did he ever prove it in europe? did he fuck!
Scholesy > Zidane. Even Zidane said so. Both extremely modest players. Scholesy probably more illustrious on the ball, whereas Zidane prefered flicks and tricks. both effective, although I reckon Scholesy was more effective.
of course hes close u twat do u even watch football, n no hes not the best ever, but 1 of n id put scholes up there aswel...even zidane admits how good scholes is
In terms of consistency, Scholes was more consistent. Zidane had the talent and abilty but I would say Zidane must be very marginally better. And this is due to the fact Zidane had proven himself in 3 different leagues and Scholesy was in his prime when the Premier League was slighty behind Seria A and La Liga. When the Premier League became strongest Scholes still controlled games, despite his age and injury prone.
Ignore the fact that Fletch hussles and harries, or Vidic's ariel challenges, or Ferdinand's sweeping up? Its like saying Barca are Messi. Or Liverpool are Gerrard. Or Inter are Zlatan. Work it out.
prob the most over rated english play ever in the history of the game . in the big games for manc shite an england he went missing . nice fella thou . thats about it really
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ha . one game , one fuckin game in his whole football life . don't make me laugh . hes a good player . but he go's missin in big games an you know it .
i'd never ever be jealous of some1 whos got a pair of red bollicks . in football life yea he has done more than me , but in life i really don't think so ! football players are thick as pig shite . real men get up at 7 an go to work all day . they live the life of riley cause of the money they earn . so go kill ya self you stupid gob shite . i bet your a cockney ! who did you really support when you was a kid ? spurs or fulham i bet
you really live in your own sad world don't you. it would be a dream for any footballer to become a professional and idolized like scholes. you're saying you wouldn't give up your cubicle job for a footballing career because you don't think it's not as fulfilling in life? do you honestly think they jog the length of the pitch, kick a ball into the net and call it a day? think of the physical strain it has on a man, especially a man in his 30s. scholes is a hero.
@A4RON123 .of course thats bullshit. he never said that. he said scholes is the best midfielder of his generation. besdies zidane has said the same for ronaldo(brasil),gerard,xavi,giggs,maradonna,etc what the hell does he know. most player speakloads of bull when they retoire.
@987costa zidane, thee zidane, did say scholes was the best player that he PLAYED against. and no he wasnt retired he was still playing when these words came out of his mouth
@A4RON123 .i know what zidane said, i have the exact quote. soersnt mean anythingn anyway. zidane wasnt even the best playmaker in serie a in his prime, so i couldnt care less what some overrated player has to say. scholes is class, has been doing it forever and isnt that big or overrated because he doesnt have the markeiting behind him like zidane and now c ronaldo and co.
@987costa "of course thats bullshit. he never said that." your exact words, stop contradicting yourself your starting to make no sense what so ever. make your mind up about what side of the arguement you are on......please
@AstonVilla82thebest i would agree with that...Zidane is a legend! But Scholes is a damn great player himself and has got plenty of praise from fellow pros...i doubt they are just doing it to make him feel better ^^

Comparing Scholes With Great Zidane shows lack of respect to one of the greatest footballer ever seen,Zidane
both admire each others.
Scholes praise Zidane and Zidane praise Scholes.
so dont take seriously when Zidane said
Scholes is the best midfielder of his generation.
its typical Zidane who is nice person,humble
and never say himself the best
recently,Zidane even said Gerrard might be the best in the world.
