Paul scholes.

Best footballer of his generation.

He will be missed.

Best is very contentious Knots, a great player certainly but better than even Giggs?

Yes.

Very subjective mate but I'd put Giggs ahead of Scholes

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Tue May 31, 2011 9:50 am

Xavi, iniesta, zizou and guardiola say scholes.

They back my judgement.

That's not to say Ryan isn't a magnificent footballer, I just give scholesy the edge in pure footballing terms.

Very energetic player and never afraid to show his tackle.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Tue May 31, 2011 9:56 am

Heh. I'll miss his ability to convince people that his mistimed tackles weren't malicious.

Nope. Scholes. Every day of the week.

I'd say over the last decade and a half Scholes was a more consistant performer than Giggs.

Zidane also called him the best of his generation and the complete midfielder.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Tue May 31, 2011 10:30 am

Guardiola says he would take him in this current barca team.

Who was better? Who cares, both were genuinne world class players regardless.

A fine servant. What next for him, will the club be retaining him in some capacity?

Post by **M H** » Tue May 31, 2011 11:16 am

BBC were saying he's up for a coaching role which would make sense to me

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Tue May 31, 2011 11:16 am

Joining the coaching staff, working with the kids I imagine.

Scholes was better than Giggs, certainly the best midfielder in Premiership history

He was a dirty wee bastard though, all this "typical Paul Scholes challenge, he never learned to tackle" No, he knew exactly what he was doing. I believe he is the most booked player in Champions league history

Still a great player

Thats highly debatable to be fair with the likes of Keane, Viera, Gerrard and Savage to contend with..
