Paul Scholes

[Cloudy O'Ranieri]

Yeah, he was a very good player, no doubt.

But if you want to talk about overrated, try this for size.

The Saturday after he scored that free kick against Greece, Jeff Sterling asked his panel what he needed to do to reach the level of Diego, Cruyff et al.

He also earned wages in football, that were in no way comparable with his football ability.

Yeah, it was puke, they were totally blind and utterly deluded.

Beckham was deadly from set pieces and was the best crosser of a ball in the world.

He never bossed a midfield like Scholes. Fanciful nonsense to suggest otherwise.

Fair comment Steam.
Becks was overrated somewhat imho.

 

[Roundyfield]

There is no doubt the English sporting media overhyped that generation of English footballers. If you have to continue to compare players to greats they’re not greats but facsimiles of them, this includes Gerard and scholes. Without Cantona, Keane, Ronnie, and Schmeichel were would Scholes and Becks be?

You listen here Jockanese joe and you listen good. What you know about football could be written on an air pump used to keep your ramshackled fishing dingy above water.

Paul scholes is one of the best footballers of his generation. No one ever claimed he was pele, Diego or Ron. But he was great.

A Manchester United Legend.

You’re worse than a SSB to suggest he was anything but. Go read up what your hero Jose said about him, if you can google it between rums.

Tuigsinn?

spot on, as someone without liverpool or Utd glasses on Scholes was a far more influential player, an absolute gem that made shit happen and with a savage dose of ability and trekkers wedged under that ugly ginger ceann

If Scholes was good looking Bekham would never have managed to fashion himself into anything other than David Beckham

Scholes trending on twitter.

His daughter posted footage of him biting her toenail on Instagram. I know, I know.

Some cracking comments ??

Unbelievable.

 

[Philby]

That's really tough going.

Scholes is lucky in the sense that he has the financial freedom to be able to devote the time to looking after him, but even then it sounds like it would be very challenging.

Spot on. Makes you wonder how the average person copes in a situation like this when they’ve the added worry of money.
