ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[malfosse]

Scholes is overrated, though.

I agree good player, but vastly over-rated, Bryan robson was another.

 

[Brennan]

Scholes is overrated, though.

He's no Charlie 'midfield metronome' Adam, that's for sure.

 

[Brennan]

Xavi Allen is boss though

In Spain they've started calling Xavi the Spanish Allen.

Jajajaja.

Yes, but who is.

Gerard Pique: “One of the best players I’ve ever seen in my life! Spectacular on training!! Playing with him was a joy!â€￾

Cristiano Ronaldo: “Scholes is the best i’ve played with and he helped me a lot when I was young. He’s amazing.â€￾

Wayne Rooney: “The best I’ve played with – no question. His touch, passing, vision, composure is outstanding. I try to copy him.â€￾

Roy Keane: “Scholesy is just the model professional. I remember whenever we’re playing in Europe at half-time there are players running to get his shirt. That just goes to show how highly he’s thought of on the continent. He’s a master.â€￾

Ryan Giggs: “In training his team always wins, everyone wants to be on his side. He’s always first pick.â€￾

Xavi: “He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.â€￾

Iniesta: “(Scholes and Giggs) are living legends. They have played a great number of games, have broken records, have won titles and furthermore they prove they in every game they are great professionals.â€￾

Messi: “At La Masia (Barcelona’s Academy) his name was mentioned a lot. He’s a teacher.â€￾

Figo: “I’m star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can’t catch him. Off the pitch he disappears.â€￾

Pep Guardiola: “Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes – he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would have loved to have played alongside him.â€￾


Ronaldinho: “I want to pass like him. Who taught him how to do that?â€￾

Pele: “If he was playing with me, I would score so many more.â€￾

Maradonna: “His technique is unique.â€￾


BADLY SH1T LADS PROPER OVERATED

 

[Allezfan]

Yeah, if people didn't have high opinions of him Del he wouldn't be overrated.

I can see that mate, But surely some of the best players in the world are a better judge of a footballer than some lad posting on a forum

I might be wrong, but I dont think the same praise will be lavished on Xavi Allen. Then again, might be wrong.

 

[chicoazul]

Scholes is a tremendous footballer. Not over rated in my opinion like.

It's a lot like art, to me. All the big art guys can tell me a picture is fantastic but if i don't see it, I don't see it.

All these guys who know football really rate scholes but I just don't see it. He's good but really, that good?

Thats your view mate which is fine, Personally I think hes one of the best midfielders I have seen

Do you not think the likes of Ronaldo,Xavi,Inesta,Figo and Zidine are a good judge of a footballer

 

[bluebottle]

I see no discernable difference between Scholes and Xavi in terms of ability really. He was undervalued i reckon until his twilight years.

 

[Slavan]

scholes is an all time great

I see what you are saying but in football sometimes you just have to say 'wow' and it is hard to find anybody who thinks different.

Scholes is an absolute master of his craft and I find it hard to believe anybody who has watched football over the last 20 years to think he is overrated. It would seriously be like calling Messi overrated.
