Might as well have a Manc thread to post shit in.
Anyway Scholes has retired if anyone cares.
He basically retired years ago. Hes been shit for some time now

Scholes was an incredibly good player in his pomp, those late runs into the box and lashing 20 yarders in for fun, quality.
Neville. check
Scholes. check
Giggs and Fergie next pls.
At his peak he was awesome but he hit 30 and has been average for 7 years now
He might have lost his engine, but he could still make pinpoint passes across the pitch with ease. Like Giggs, he always picked the perfect final ball too. He could have had another few years at some pointless club like Blackburn or Sunderland.
United desperately need a creative midfielder now. Modric tbh. Or Fabregas for £60 million please.
What I admired most about him, was that in an age of mercenary's and media whore players, this guy didn't have an agent and continuously took pay cuts just so he could stay at the club he loves. You never read about him in the papers and most people still find it a bit odd when they hear him speak because it's such a rare occasion.
Of course he was a complete GHEL on the pitch though, just like Jack.
Overrated ginger muppet with a prediliction for violent outbursts manifested in outrageous tackles laughed off by moronic pundits.

They said that about Sir Ryan as well......Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
Well at least he was a player of great ability on top of it. Most GHELs are just 'get in their faces' and 'show them you're there' merchants. And Scholes' scummery on the pitch is no worse than Messi, Iniesta or Busquets' sly rolling, crying and bitching to refs. Most players are twats these days. You can at least appreciate Scholes as a rare English player who actually had technical ability and applied it towards a great career.
Overated imo.
Lampard and Gerrard pissed on him. Both got 20 a season regularly. Did Scholes get that even once?
And then when them 2 became Englands first choice, Scholes cried like a bitch and retired. He was shit for England as well for the last couple of years, not scoring for ages til Euro 2004.
Or Charlie Adam...
Sir Alex Ferguson is readying a bid for Blackpool playmaker Charlie Adam as the Old Trafford manager looks to replace Paul Scholes, who announced his retirement from the game today. Full story: Caught Offside
