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
For somebody who never did any fancy tricks or showboating, Scholes' technical ability was so apparent in every game. Okay, his tackling would make Vinnie Jones wince, but his ability on the ball is the best the Prem has ever seen. He could pick a 30 yard pass out, straight to his team-mates' feet without even looking. He interviews like Karl Pilington though! He is actually one of my favourite ever players (and I support leeds!)
One of the best mid-fielders ever i have never seen ny player hit a long pass like Scholes and his shots on goal have deadly power n incredible accuracy simply one of the greatest players of all time :)
Xavi Hernandez about Scholes: "A role model. For me, and I really mean this, he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. He's spectacular, he has it all, the last pass, goals, he's strong, he doesn't lose the ball, vision. If he'd been Spanish he might have been rated more highly. Players love him."
@redbuffalo15 . yh exactly. thank you.someone who isnt blind.shame that players like scholes are so underrated while players like c ronaldo are seen as footballing gods.ronaldo of 98 would wipe the floor with anyone,any team, anywhere.he was, in that period, probaly the best ever with maradona at napoli.
@987costa Ronaldo was, is and always be the best player to ever live. People are stuck in the past with this notion that Pele and Maradona and all those legends can't be topped... it's ridiculous.
They were good for their time... but Ronaldo would run circles around them with his dick his hands.
@redbuffalo15 .i mean look at ronaldo in the 98 world cup, he got the golden ball at 21 with 4 goals and 3 assists(i think).yet zidane won world player of the year lol. messi now couldnt do anything like that, c ronaldo couldnt do that, maradona did it at 26/27 with some useful cheating,and well pele was probaly very good but i mean its football in the 60s-early 70s so.
@dwcmerlin .nope.zidane said ronaldo was the best player ever(brazilian), he said scholes was his toughest opponent in ever and one of the most gifted players of his generation.
@fridjon83 Exactly. Some people use "of his generation", as an excuse to say it was just a petty remark - but Zidane and Scholes essentially played for the same seasons. He's clearly saying that Scholes is the best player he's ever played against. Some people say use that also to argue that Zidane never said Scholes was better than him - but that's not the point, his said his toughest opponent. He probably regards himself as better, who wouldn't say they're worse than someone else?
@snotyear .oh for god said zidane has said the same thing about scholes,xavi,gerrard,ronaldo(r9 brasil),ryan giggs,etc.zidane wasnt even the best playmaker in serie a in his prime os who cares what hye has to say besdies former player are shite at judging players.

"Would you end your career in the MLS?"
I find that insulting to such a fantastic player, why would he go to play in a Mickey Mouse league?
Beckham's done it because he obviously enjoys the fame etc. Scholes, as you can see, isn't anything like Beckham.
