Scholes was better than Xavi. There is no question about it. I can't believe I have to post this on a Utd forum.
Xavi played in excellent teams that controlled possession completely. Scholes had everything in his game - Xavi was a level below in every aspect to Scholes. Shooting, Long Passing, Heading, Movement etc.
Fabregas over Scholes? Dear God.
It wasn't as simple as me saying Fabregas was better, I said 'Fabregas at his Arsenal best'. Not sure what is meant by 'players like Fabregas' either.Come on guys behave, you might think Xavi is much better but don't sh1t on scholesy and say players like fabregas are better than him.
Can see the argument why xavi is better, but scholes isn't that far behind.
Cesc in his final seasons at Arsenal was a marvellous midfielder, the leader at Arsenal and the best midfielder in England for me. For the stat lovers, he also recorded very impressive numbers. That incarnation of Fabregas was a better PL midfielder than Scholes for me.
