0 balon dor votes and 2 PFA team of the year appearance in 17years while Viera made 6 in 9yrs. Your Albino is a fraud like those fake quotes you have been spamming everywhere with.

So Modric is better than Xavi and Iniesta because he won World best??

Swissh:
No proof most of them are fake quotes that originated from twitter. Scholes legacy is built on fake quotes from football legends. When it was time for his peers and journalists to vote for him, he was getting 0 votes and only 2 PFA team of the year appearance in 17yrs all through his career. I repeat

Arsenal Legend Henry speaking.................

Steven Gerrad "Scholes is the best player I've ever played with in my International Career"

After playing with Lampard.......TOUGH

timay:
The thing is , they don't really value technical midfielders in England. No matter the talk, they will always want to rate Lampard or Gerrard .

The only people that rates Scholes are mainly Man utd fans(Out of loyalty) and outsiders/people outside England. Those people outside, especially countries that play good football not kick and rush are the ones that see and appreciatethe technicality of Paul scholes. The mumu English fans no Sabi football that much, they don't see you as a good midfielder if you don't play 1000 shots per game from 30 yards

Scholes is asthmatic, and suffered from Osgood–Schlatter disease,.....he played for 17 seasons with this and also suffered from impaired vision sometimes...

Pep Guardiola "Scholes – he is the best midfielder of this generation. I would have loved to have played alongside him.”

Arsene Wenger “Scholes did not get completely what he deserves as a player because he’s not a media lion. He’s not one who runs after the media to be in the papers. I respect that.”

Sir Alex Ferguson: “One of the greatest football brains Manchester United has ever had.”( after coaching Cantona, Ronaldo, Rooney, Van nistelrooy, Van persie etc)

hardeycute:
I didn't even see this earlier, looks like what was fabricated by fans.

Kroos account was hacked on his birthday to answer this question right??

hardeycute:
This is very doubting. Bring a link from an interview or a video clip.


If you are very active on Twitter (Football), you should know how this thing works.

Iniesta son ===Paolo Andrea (born May 2015). Paolo means Paul

Twitter named the son right

Iniesta



Iniesta: "Without doubt my biggest regret in football is not playing with Paul Scholes. One day at La Masia, Frank Rijkaard walked in and said,'Today we don't train, we are going to watch a DVD.' We sat for 3 hours watching Paul Scholes highlights. It was the best day of my life. Me, Xavi, Ronaldinho and young Messi, in awe of him. It was then that I decided my first born will be called as Paul.

Xavi has revealed the only regret of his brilliant career is that he never got to play with Paul Scholes.



Albino will give some people heart-attack

Xavi Hernandez: Paul Scholes is 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.

I've spoken to Xabi Alonso about him. 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.

pu7pl3:
Billions of world people do care about that

The Billions should try and make Ronaldo win 6 world best or win golden boot in Italy

dammywapes:
They know they will be dispossessed

Also loose the Midfield battle

ddippset:

Dude has spit that line like a million times,

No one pays attention..

So now he' sounding like my old Eminem CD that got broken.

They like comparing with rubbish stuffs.......
Comebacks
Played for different clubs

Who the Bleep, cares abt that

ddippset:
As usual.

His fingers have "choked".

Empty head...

ddippset:
You must think of this as a punchline.
Cus you must have said it a thousand times and no one seems to pay any attention to it.



Chai, punchlines don suffer.

TOUGH mehn..................pity the damn nigga

Emmanuel Petit: “At Arsenal me and Patrick (Vieira) didn’t want to face Scholes. We would avoid him.”

Zinedine Zidane: “My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.”

Zinedine Zidane : “Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.”

Melvyn11:
Why exactly are you showing me all these?

Cesc Fabregas: “He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.

Patrick Vieira: “The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy – Scholes.”

Thierry Henry: “I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’

You Learn from your Club Legends

With all the choking, he still got 6 World best.....
The other one is winning Dubai-d or, Rome- d or..

2 seasons in Italy now, he can't win Highest goal scorer

Melvyn11:
No midfielder in your club history is better than Zidane or Modric. You should look before you leap.

Bergkamp: “He’s the master.”

Emmanuel Petit: “At Arsenal me and Patrick (Vieira) didn’t want to face Scholes. We would avoid him.”

Edgar Davids: “”Every one of us (midfielders) is just trying to become as good as him. Everyone can learn from Paul Scholes.”

Edgar Davids: “I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is.”

Tony Adams: “I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn’t got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn’t get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.”

Cesc Fabregas: “He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.

Patrick Vieira: “The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy – Scholes.”

Thierry Henry: “I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’.”

Zinedine Zidane: “My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.”

Zinedine Zidane : “Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.”

Sam Allardyce : “There is not a better midfield player in the world.”

Samir Nasri: “Sad to hear Paul Scholes is retiring great player world class player the English Zizou.”
Kevin Keegan: “What United have got that Chelsea haven’t is Paul Scholes. I think he is different to anything else in English football.”

Marcello Lippi: “Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team – that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. Scholes is a player I have always liked, because he combines great talent and technical ability with mobility, determination and a superb shot. He is an all-round midfielder who possesses character and quality in abundance. In my opinion, he’s been one of the most important players for United under Sir Alex.”

Fabio Capello: “It’s a shame he’s not available to play for England. If he was, he’d be the first name in my squad.”

Ray Wilkins: “I’m saddened because I think we as spectators, not only in this country but right throughout Europe and the rest of the World, will be missing one hell of a footballer.”

Gordon Strachan: “Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You’d probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.”

Veron while at Chelsea being asked in an interview who’s the best english player : “Paul Scholes.”

Peter Schmeichel: “People say he is a great player, but you have to define what a great player is, For me, it is a player who has a bottom level that means his worst performance is not noticed.If he is having a bad game, a team-mate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn’t notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level. His reading of the game is unsurpassed.He has an eye for a pass, for what the play or the game needs at that precise moment, that I have never seen anyone else have. He controls and distributes the play and the game better than anyone I have ever seen.”

Laurent Blanc: “Scholes is the best English player. Intelligence, technique, strength… all the attributes are there. At Manchester United I saw what he could do on the training field. Phew!”

David Beckham said that, among his teammates at Real Madrid, which included Zinedine Zidane, Raúl, Ronaldo, Luís Figo and Roberto Carlos, Scholes was the most admired opponent: “He’s always one of those people others talk about. Even playing at Real Madrid, the players always say to me ‘what’s he like’? They respect him as a footballer and see him as the ultimate.”

Glenn Hoddle: “There isn’t a player of his mould anywhere else in the world.”

Terry Venables: “He’s the best one- or two-touch passer in the country. He sees the game unlike any other player.”

Alan Shearer: “If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. He can tackle, and his passing and shooting is of the highest level. He’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.”

Eidur Gudjohnsen: “I’m more an admirer of Paul Scholes than I am of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is a fantastic player, but he has 10 other great players around him every week…Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I’ve ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him, I never felt I could get close to him.”

Micah Richards: “He’s always in the right position, always seems to be at the end of the box when the ball drops in. The complete midfielder – when he’s fit, he’s the best. Some go missing but he’s in the right place at the right time. He’s my favourite player of all-time, unbelievable. If you give him a chance it’s a goal, isn’t it?”

Ronaldo (Brazilian): “He’s the phenomenon.”

Lampard thats below 200 assist for club and country and played a total of 1021 games as an attacking midfielder is acceptable

patrickmuf:
Chelsea played 4 3 3 most times with Hazard...Funny enough, I am not all about stat that's why I rate Hazard highly but for anyone to come here and say Scholes is a fraud is what I can't fathom...Scholes is a proper CM, he was just too good to be English...

He is not their type of player........Gerrard and Lampard fit them, that's why they couldn't do anything meaningful for England.

Shouting goals,....Modric world best winner scored just 83 Goals in 660 matches for club.

patrickmuf:
Some arguments are just not worth it. Scholes only sin was coming from England where midfielders are celebrated for for scoring goals rather than dictating the play. Spatial awareness, passing and control of the game is what you use to rate MIDFIELDERS. Scholes is better than Lampard, Gerrard and Fabregas.

The funny thing here is that I am seeing folks who frown at stats when used to define Hazard use the same metric to drag Scholes...

Anything is goals here........

If you wanna compare Defenders, they will bring Goals and assists also...............

I dnt know who told them that in a Flat 4-4-2 formation, the primary duty of the two midfielders is to assist or score..... I dont know the function of the 2 wide players and the 2 forwards

Comparing Central Midfielder (scholes) and attacking midfielder ( lampard) in terms of goals and assists..........

Master of Penalty

WINNERS
Productive/Critical thinkers- that can use this time to strategies, learn new skill, re-energize etc

LOSERS
Gamblers

nihilistjnr:
E don reach to dey lie like this?

Abi you follow get the same eye problem Scholes get?

I swear

Calm down 499 Appearance with 107 goals is in EPL............(NO PK)




Total is 700+ appearance with 155 goals

pamcode:
What is my business with the 'football brain' of United players? Did Sir Alex coach Lampard? Did he anywhere state Scholes was better than Lampard?

Watch what John Terry was sayin about Paul Scholes,....He had to pick Lampard, because they are teammate...

Deco played with Lampard,...He choose Scholes as better player

That negates your penalties claim even though if we deduct penalties from Lampard 's goals it is still more than that of Scholes.
Fun fact : Do you know Lamps has the most goals from outside the box - 41 ?

It doesnt change the fact that Paul scholes is the most complete midfielder, England ever produc

https://mobile.twitter.com/optajoe/status/798209378130104320

It doesnt change the fact that Paul scholes is the most complete midfielder, England ever produce.........


Ferguson coached Cantona, Vandersar, Van persie, Rooney, Giggs, Ronaldo, Keane, Sheringham, Van nistelrooy, Yorke, Cole, Hughes, Vidic, Ferdinard, Schiemel, JS Park, and many more,..........When he was asked to choose the player with the BEST FOOTBALL BRAIN he ever coached,............He mention PAUL SCHOLES.......

You dnt know better than Sir alex Ferguson........
