Was he elite or shit?

Never rated Rooney pal

>le lazy no defense pass long man

Also, fuck you for 2002.

Elite. A complete midfielder.

Elite

>>77052748
Literally the worst homegrown United player from that era.

>>77052748
Never had the opportunity to play in that Pirlo position, with two fast and strong midfielders to protect him. Had he played that way, England would have two stars above its crest right now.

>>77052791
We aren't talking about Pirlo. Always hated le two foot tackle man but don't get sent off because Fergie bought the refs man

Somebody post it already...

Elite, his international career was never what it could have been given Eriksson's idiocy in shunting him out left to accommodate two inferior midfielders in the centre.

"They called him the ginger Pele. If I'm being honest it was an insult to the man. He was a far superior player to me." -- Pele on Paul Scholes

here we are

Underrated as a player, grossly overrated after he retired.

Shit. Only English player who could think before passing the ball so they treat him like a god.

>two footer red card

Looked up his red card stats just to see. Literally never sent of for a two footer.

Only sent off 4 times in 500 games. 2 straight reds.

Interesting, Andy Cole was sent off 6 times in 414 games

>>77052748
Scholes was a world class talent and must really curse not being born German.

>>77052816
have you seen him slide tackle?

jesus a mecha reaction pic. I have seen it all now

one of the best midfielders of his generation, he was wasted by the bongs

>>77062153
Not bad considering shrinkage while playing sports is even more than cold water shrinkage. He was probably a solid 7-8.5".

good player shit pundit

>>77064025
your dick knowledge is pretty impressive
I'm a dick expert myself

Elite

Dog shit

>>77052748
Not shit, but not amazing.

He's like Gerrard, Lampard, all that era English midfielders. Not remotely as good as the press made out.

Sure Scholes could pass, but he's a midfielder it's his fucking job. He couldn't tackle anyone at all.
