Scholes was an incredibly good player in his pomp, those late runs into the box and lashing 20 yarders in for fun, quality.
Neville. check
Scholes. check
Giggs and Fergie next pls.
At his peak he was awesome but he hit 30 and has been average for 7 years now
He might have lost his engine, but he could still make pinpoint passes across the pitch with ease. Like Giggs, he always picked the perfect final ball too. He could have had another few years at some pointless club like Blackburn or Sunderland.
United desperately need a creative midfielder now. Modric tbh. Or Fabregas for £60 million please.
What I admired most about him, was that in an age of mercenary's and media whore players, this guy didn't have an agent and continuously took pay cuts just so he could stay at the club he loves. You never read about him in the papers and most people still find it a bit odd when they hear him speak because it's such a rare occasion.
Of course he was a complete GHEL on the pitch though, just like Jack. :bow:
Overrated ginger muppet with a prediliction for violent outbursts manifested in outrageous tackles laughed off by moronic pundits.
Well at least he was a player of great ability on top of it. Most GHELs are just 'get in their faces' and 'show them you're there' merchants. And Scholes' scummery on the pitch is no worse than Messi, Iniesta or Busquets' sly rolling, crying and bitching to refs. Most players are twats these days. You can at least appreciate Scholes as a rare English player who actually had technical ability and applied it towards a great career.
Overated imo.
Lampard and Gerrard pissed on him. Both got 20 a season regularly. Did Scholes get that even once?
And then when them 2 became Englands first choice, Scholes cried like a bitch and retired. He was shit for England as well for the last couple of years, not scoring for ages til Euro 2004.
Or Charlie Adam...

Sir Alex Ferguson is readying a bid for Blackpool playmaker Charlie Adam as the Old Trafford manager looks to replace Paul Scholes, who announced his retirement from the game today. Full story: Caught Offside
England team were even worse with Scholes in the middle
Few better players in the history of a club that's had some serious good'uns. For all the rivalry there reaches a point where you hold your hands up and admit there were few better than Scholes. He's what football should be all about. Compare him to the utter cocks that pass as players these days, with a few notable exceptions. I have big hopes for Jack. The next Scholes, fingers crossed. Of course he has a way to go yet and hopefully he'll be with us for that journey.
Owen has signed a one year contract.
Looking at their striking options and then looking at ours, makes me want to cry

Giggs name is being dragged through the dirt and rightly so.
Always thought of him as a cunt and its being proved right

Hope his brother tells him to fuck off
Lynne needs to stfu tbhQuote:
family members fear any attempt by the warring brothers to talk through their problems could result in BLOODSHED.
One source said: "Rhodri is planning to confront Ryan when he returns home.
"His mum Lynne has told him not to do anything stupid. The situation seems about as bad as it could be at the moment and there could be blood spilt if Ryan doesn't do the decent thing and apologise.
"There could be a war between them - Rhodri's got quite a temper. The only thing holding him back at the moment is the effect this would have on Lynne.

SSN breakin news
Young has joined for £20m on a 5 year contract
once again manu show how its done, arsenal's transfer abilities are pathetic
This isn't sour grapes (maybe just slightly gone-off ones), and you can't argue with ol' Baconface's record, but the signing of Young does puzzle me. Haven't they got Valencia for that kind of thing?Unlike Ash, he can cross too.
A lot of United's signings puzzle me actually, but they often go unquestioned. I still have a good laugh at the Bellion/Kleberson/Djemba-Djemba triad of 2003. I laughed on the other side of my face when the latter ended up at B6 though...
Salifou > > > Djemba-Djemba tbh.
Maybe Nani is unsettled and wants out?
Like I said, Valencia, Nani, Park and even Giggs (when he plays wide) are better than Young. Surely one of Valencia or Nani will be put out?
When we buy Albrighton, McLeish (:sick:) will need to find some good replacements. Especially if Downing goes too.
Beausejour and Hleb?

Manchester United chief executive David Gill has claimed that the club were unfairly targeted by the Football Association last season.
The Red Devils saw striker Wayne Rooneyhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif handed a two-match ban for swearing into a television camera after scoring in the 4-2 victory over West Ham at Upton Park.
And Old Trafford manager Sir Alex Fergusonhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif was hit with a five-match touchline suspension for his comments about referee Martin Atkinsonhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in the wake of their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
Gill,http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif who is a member of the FA board, was speaking in new book Champ19ns, which covers the club's record 19th top-flight title last term.
"What better way to demonstrate the authorities are being tough than by hitting one of the biggest clubs the hardest?"
David Gill Quotes of the week
Harsh
He said: "I do genuinely believe there have been some poorish decisions that, in my opinion, wouldn't necessarily have hit other clubs.
"That's not to say I'm condoning Wayne's comments, because I don't think they were correct, or what Sir Alex said (about Atkinson) because it wasn't helpful.
"But at the same time, the actual punishments were harsh. We're possibly being caught up in being one of the biggest clubs and the 'Respect' agenda being there.
"What better way to demonstrate the authorities are being tough than by hitting one of the biggest clubs the hardest?"

The nerve of this guy.
