biina,
thierry Henry,Glenn hoddle,Sam allardyce,Zidane,Shearer,Venables,Edgar Davids,Cesc Fabregas,Tony Adams,eidur gudjohnnsen,Patrick vieira cannot be United admirers by any stretch of the imagination.
That list is as wide in range as it possibly can be.and while you're at it,let's add Stam,Schmeichel and Cantona to the list,so we don't say it's only the English guys.

yes and they all voted scholes the WPOY for 5 consecutive years undecided

You must be high on something free.

Read Henry's quote. . . . .
For someone prattling about English comprehension, you have let me down.


what about Roy keane? was he on your list? or at the age of 22 and playing for 2 clubs over 4 yrs he is still being groomed? Keane  was developed before he joined ManU or where was SAF when Keane was joining Nottingham.

You are a retard. . . . .
When Ferguson bought Roy Keane, there was no guarantee he would be in the first team.
He had the potential and nothing else. . . . . . .Go and read his book.
Fergie turned Roy Keane to a world beater. . . . .What makes me antsy is DSTV fans like you pretending to be knowledgeable.
The fact that Roy joined Man Utd at 22 does not mean he wasn't groomed by Ferguson: Read a book!!!


Dynasty? we are not talking about the premiership my friend nor are we even talking about the manU as a team. Simply provide examples that SAF grooms world class players, shikena!

I have provided you more than enough.
Knowing your memory fails you instantaneously, scroll up and read my input on SAF's world class players.


Again missing the point. English is not as hard as you make it seem. Wenger is better at spotting talent. Shikena.
Never said anything about winning titles.

Tell us the world class players Wenger has spotted.

His input wasn't fractionate by any means. . . . .
Hargreaves played in many positions for Man Utd in their quest to cop the European Double in 2008.
Right back, midfield, right winger, etc.
Ronaldo missed his penalty kick in Moscow. . . . .Hargo scored his own to haul United back in the shoot-out.
What else is he expected to contribute? He played in all the 120 mins in Moscow without copping a red card like Drogba.

You have just rambled on and on without coming up with a decent and precise answer! Are you Titus BRAMBLE in disguise?
You are telling me Hargo's input wasnt fractionate? SMH. . . . .You are deluded! grin cheesy
Ronaldo missed his kick so what? he lifted United on his back most of the time anyway
Has Hargo lifted United on his back at any time during his failed OT career so far? tongue

He did.
Against Arsenal at OT. . . . .Match tied at 1-1. . . .
A draw for United woulda meant Chelsea leap-frogging and Hargo's precise freekick won ALL the 3 points for Man Utd.

That list is simply hilarious.

What next, letters from his school teacher? grin grin grin

f*ck the beef !

ScholeS is greater than what has been said about him . . .how I wished he wasnt a scummie cry cry

Of course, a precious goal justifies more than £30 mill.
Had United lost the EPL title because of a useless draw against Arsenal at OT, Ronaldo's 42 goals woulda come to nowt.
I doubt Ronaldo woulda won Ballon d'Or if his team didn't win the domestic league that season.

Owen Hargreaves has justified his price-tag in 2007/8 season. FACT!!!!
He has won what Wenger hasn't won in his 13 years in the EPL.
Hargo has achieved more than any Arsenal player under Wenger at club level. grin grin grin

it's getting ridiculous.You're contradicting yourself at the speed of light with each post.
Which international individual honour did Maldini win to be termed a world-class player?If Zizou backs Scholes as world-class,then justSTFU.
now you're referencing groomed players again.
When Zidane was at Bodeaux,could anyone say he was world-class?I ask same as Ronaldinho at PSG.The list is endless.

Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Champions Of England! by Nobody: 4:02pm On Jul 09, 2009
Doc,
I'm not.
biina says tributes given to scholes didn't get him an individual international honour.
I now used that to reference Maldini,by far one of the all-time greats the game has produced, who hasn't won an individual honour that i know of.
Am I crazy to insinuate Maldini ain't world-class?
Blame biina for all this.

Go and sit down. . . .

Well-groomed. . . . .
He was a nobody before joining Man Utd a la Antonio Reyes or even Nani.
The potentials were there but those needed to be honed. It's not about age, it's about what he has done before moving to a big club.
I read Keane's book and he clearly stated he was not even sure he would get into the first team of Man Utd when he joined.


what next, a player bought at 35 becomes a recent discovery?did I say wenger groomed world class players? but you can point to talented signings like weah, viera, Anelka, cesc . . . . . . who were less popular before be signed.

How old was Claude MAKALELE before Real Madrid made him a house-hold name?
By your stupid theory, Del Bosque did nothing to Makalele's development.
The evil spirits in Kinshasa were responsible.

Cesc was less popular? Are u a goat?
The same Cesc that conquered FIFA under-17 tournament in 2003?
George Weah was spotted but it wasn't Wenger that groomed him. . . .so what gives!!!

This is what happens when you jump in the mdiddle of a discussion like a trailer with no brakes.
The discussion is about SAF grooming world class players, and you are yet to point to any other players he has produced.
When you have consensus evidence, and not some quotes cut out of context, that scholes was world class in his position, then come and post, but till then I advised you refrain from posting nonsense and just read.

Maldini not winning the WPOY is primarily due to the position he played, yet he has still won more individual honors than scholes. Even an unborn child knows of the greatness of maldinin.
Maldini and scholes no be mates.

you're just a walking contradiction,so i won't bother to argue wth you anymore.
Stop dodging your evident blunders.put a straight, consistent argument and maybe we'll just listen.
If you think Paul scholes isn't world-class,that's your problem.people who matter to the game have voiced their opinions,and you and I are just bystanders.
whether Maldini played at left back is irrelevant.Dino zoff (a goalie) came close to winning it once.He didn't win it.
Cannavaro, (a central defender) was world footballer of the year in 2006.
So wherever he played isn't an issue.
And,dimwit,No one was comparing scholes with maldini.

Scholes is/was a great player, but please, compare LIKE WITH LIKE - Maldini is not his mate on any planet.

Paul scholes not world class?
why? you have shifted the goal post so many times we dont know where you stand.

According to you, if you dont win personal awards, u aint a world class player
If Pele wont put u in his famous list, ure not a world class player and blah blah

can you tell me why Maldini will be a world class player and yet a Scholesy wouldnt
Pls, is Owen a world class player? Im sure u'll say Yes cos he won the european award.
what does that make you?

If Zizou, Viera and Henry can call him a world class player, then a nairaland post from Biina shld be ignored!!!
