Has a lot to say nowadays.
Never opened his mouth when then cash was coming in though did he? |  | | |  |

The best player of the so called golden generation. Better than Beckham and you never heard a bad word about him. Never wanted to leave Utd, a true one club man and a credit to the game. |  | | |

Not doubting his ability. Apparent references from Zidane says it all.
When you retire from England duty at 29 you forfeit any right to criticise current England players. Threw his toys out the pram because he was played out of position. | | | |

The worst tackler I have ever seen, he had 2 methods, 1. a foul and 2. a f@ckin horrible foul. | | | |

Not clumsy either, they looked intended | | | |

Great player, but one of the worst tackling midfielders you are ever likely to see! Should have been cautioned AND red carded far more than he actually was. But all that aside, one hell of a player! |  | | |

To be fair, he wasn't bad in the air for someone who was only 4'2"! | | | |

Bitter ex pro. Now in same category as Merson / Lawrenson / Wright and all the other whinge merchants. | | | |

Was he on the end of one of his tackles too? | | | |

I am convinced you've never actually seen him play. The guy was controlling games when he was nearly forty and could barely run. Would've been England's Pirlo if the national team wasn't such a massive, prick-ridden joke. Xavi said the other day that his only regret wasn't playing with Paul Scholes - there isn't a bigger compliment to his talent than that. |  | | |

This^^^
Massively overhyped by the Fergie Accolytes in the press and on the punditry sofas.
As Clive said if he played for anyone else but Fergie and Utd he'd be known as a handy little hatchet man, not our Pirlo/Zidanne.
Also a little weasle for hissy fitting his way out of England. [Post edited 8 Aug 2014 21:29]

Zidane was once asked what's it like to be the best midfielder in the world, his reply....."ask Paul
Scholes" | | | |
| Paul Scholes on 21:55 - Aug 8 with 2848 views | qprnw10 |
Zidane also said he's the best player his played against...
Gerrard, J cole, Lampard, and G.Neville have all said he's the best player they've players with for England...
Edgar Davids at one time said he's the best in the world...
Xavi says his one regret is not playing with Paul Scholes
Henry and Vieria have both said he's the best player the played against in the premier league....
All these players that have played with or against him, can be wrong. | | | |

Pffft .What do they know? 
Nicky Butt was better.  | |

Nah man, he's no Luka Modric apparently  | | | |

I know he is Scum now but I'd take Fabregas over Scholes all day long. | |

I think we can all agree he is somewhere between a good and great player.
My point is, why is he now the go to England guru when he couldn't handle his England career past 29?
Kept quiet his whole career while he was in a real capacity to make make a difference, then as soon as the pressure's off, he shoots down all and sundry in the modern game. He's won the same amount of medals as you or I. Unless the '66 mob frequent this forum. | | | |

"Kept quiet all his career" - yeah like every other english footballer in this country apart from our very own Joey 'Question Time' Barton. Footballers are not allowed to have opinions in this country - not whilst they are playing anyway. Would Scholes slagging off Gerrard while they were both in the England squad have 'made a difference'? No, not really. Scholes did his talking on the pitch, where at club level at least, he was magnificent for nearly two decades. | | | |

Scholes was world class when he was regularly winning Champions League and Premiership titles Manchester United. |  | | |

Is this thread for real ???
I saw him boss agame against us in 1994 and 2012 sums it up
Everyone has their own right to an opinion but if you think Paul Scholes wasn't one of the best players in the last 20 years then you don't understand football and never will
Google the inter Milan president's quote regarding Scholes ...fantastic loyalty | | | |

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti was hell bent on taking Scholes to Italy, “We tried really hard to sign Paul Scholes, we gave United a blank cheque, we talked to him, his reply for short and simple, “If you want me to play for you, you’d have to buy this club”. One of a kind, he didn’t have an agent, so it was hard enough.” | | | |

"who cares what professionals think, I'm telling you Scholes wasn't world class" .

Interesting discussion.
Great footballer, and could he finish.
However, his attempts at tackling were often shocking, that challenge in a friendly in about 2001 against Sweden was a fukkin disgrace.
His new found voice also seems surprising, but I would be controversial for a tenth of what he is pocketing. |  | | |

I think you do a good job of being controversial as it is Mel :) |  | | |

Pay me for it then!
The more wonga, the more contoversial.
You know, 'Stefan Moore, more heart than Alan McDonald.'
'Gerry Francis, look the camera in the eye champion.'
'No Ulsterman should ever support QPR.'
That type of thing.
I want a million in unused notes, and a new identity to say the last one.  | | | |
