He had a great couple of years with us, his own fault for leaving just when he'd become one of our most important players. The Bergkamp comparison was a bit odd though.

RIP the ginger tosser, his like will not be seen again

Just think the old comments are funny on here sometimes. It's like the posters are completely different characters.

I'll have my revenge.

How f'ing good was Fabregas on Sunday by the way? Never hidden that I'm a massive Carrick fan, but I think we are witnessing the development of the best midfielder in the country, if not Europe, with that kid. My allegiances are swaying - a two footed cultured midfielder with amazing vision - nothing better )

Carrick, Fab, Scholes, Alonso, Huddlestone, Reo Coker, Emre - its all about the celebrating the vision, not the trickery, pace or glory

XAVI: "In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything."

ZINEDINE ZIDANE: "It's only natural to want to select your best players and there is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own,"

"He's almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play. You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get.

"One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career."

EDGAR DAVIDS: “I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is. We can all learn from Paul Scholes.”

MARCELLO LIPPI: “Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team — that is how highly I have always rated him.

“An all-round midfielder with quality and character in abundance.”

LAURENT BLANC: “I tell anyone who asks me — Scholes is the best English player.”

THIERRY HENRY: “Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Paul Scholes.

“He knows how to do everything, and he is the one who directs the way his team plays. On top of all that, he has indestructible mental strength, and he is a genuine competitor.”

PETER SCHMEICHEL: “His reading of the game is unsurpassed. He has the best eye for a pass, for what the play or the game needs at that precise moment, that I have never seen anyone else have.

“He controls and distributes the play and the game better than anyone I have ever seen.”

? This is Paul Scholes. A great passer but a career entirely enhanced by the entrenched deliberate leniency of the referees...
