What a player, today he was absolutely immense. I can't believe I actually thought Veron was better than Scholes when he came to Man Utd! Paul Scholes, IMO our best player.

I fear Paul is getting too much exposure these days - he has to give a few crap performances to even himself out or soon he'll no longer have the 'most underrated player in England' tag. :nervous:

scholesy - best player not to get a player of the year award (due to his disinterest in hogging the limelight)
Scholes is great and should score alot of goals this year especially if we don't buy anyone else. I dont think SAF will buy in Jan cos no-one is available who is good enough. I think he expects OGS to come back soon. I am happy if scholes RVN, and OGS are playing.

scholes is our primary inspiration. works hard, delivers passes with killer accuracy, has vision on par with veron. it's a wonder there are no transfer rumours concerning him

Maybe because he has no intention of going anywhere except Oldham

:nono: I'm afraid you underestimate "Ginger" my friend. Shrewd buys by SAF will only enhance Scholesy's oportunities in front of goal. :devil:

If we buy someone the opposition have to spend more time marking that simply means more space for our Paul . . . and more space = more goals :D

Don't worry, it doesn't matter who we buy, Scholesy will not be left out!

Pauls tackling is the worst in the world...

Complete footballer he is not.
:nono: Not worse that SEBA, not worse than many others for that matter. I can't recall Zidane stealing the ball from anyone for that matter. I can remember Scholes making some crunching, albeit somewhat late tackles (and he has the cards to prove it) that got the attention of ghis opponent if not the ball.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think Scholes is perfect . . . no midfielder is but credit where credit is due, and this is an appreciation thread. ;)

I agree, the problem is now Becks has gone, the media need someone else to turn there attention too. Posters like Livvie & myself have always rated Scholes, now your seeeing more & more 'rant' about him, he has always been our best all round player by far, as most of the players often state themselves!! 1 of our only truely irre-placeble players!!! There is no one better in his position worldwide!!! And thats not just a Utd supporters view!!
