    Scholes not worthy

    What a player he has been for the club, he'll be missed so much.

    I can do what the fuck I want without mimicking anyone. Prick.
    Oh and btw, almost every Liverpool fan had a sig of Hypia when he retired, didn't see you saying anything about it.

    I don't know about "dropping like flies"

    Neville was gone from our team a long time ago really, just in the dressing room and it's not much different.

    Edwin and Scholes, not really dropping like flies.

    I know your game Ace, trying to pass everything off as worse than it is for us so you feel better about yourself. Dry Smile shifty

    Haha, there is a difference between putting a picture up of someone, and putting a picture up of someone, with near identical text below it using the same 'red' colouring for United as Kyro did.

    Be original. It just makes you look like you lick his arse.

    Calm down, you do seem to act like a little hothead. Anyway, it's Hyypia. Hyypiä to be more accurate. Not as if we'd misspell Scholes or Giggs. Scholes retires. 727917

    You know as sad as this is it could make our team stronger depending on how we go about replacing him.

    Even the most biased fan would have to admit Scholes was not fit/physical enough to start for us any more, he just didn't have the legs for it.. even if he is still remarkably talented.

    Scholes on the coaching staff and get in a midfielder that can really add something and I'd be very very happy.

    We'll have to wait and see how it pans out.

    Who do you think could replace him? I think one of the obvious answers is Modric

    Parker or Adam would be a cheaper option.

    SAF: "One of the greatest football brains Manchester United has ever had."

    Roy Keane: "No celebrity bullshit, no self promotion - an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being."

    Sir Bobby Charlton: "I love watching little Paul Scholes, he’s so in control of what he’s doing and is always so accurate and pinpoint with his passing – it’s just beautiful to watch."

    Glenn Hoddle: "There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world."

    Rio: "For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, "You see that tree over there?" - it'll be 40 yards away - "I'm going to hit it". And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best."

    George Best: "England have lost their best player."

    Laurent Blanc: "I tell anyone who asks me – Scholes is the best English player."

    Micah Richards: "I think we were all disappointed because we all know what he can do. He's always in the right position, always seems to be at the end of the box when the ball drops in. The complete midfielder - when he's fit, he's the best. Some go missing but he's in the right place at the right time. He's my favourite player of all-time, unbelievable. If you give him a chance it's a goal, isn't it?"

    Peter Schmeichel: "People say he is a great player, but you have to define what a great player is. For me, it is a player who has a bottom level that means his worst performance is not noticed. If he is having a bad game, a teammate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn't notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level. He has an eye for a pass, for what the play or the game needs at that precise moment, that I have never seen anyone else have. These days he doesn't get into the box too many times, which is where you can see his age, but he has developed tactically. He controls and distributes the play and the game better than anyone I have ever seen."

    Edgar Davids: "Everyone of us should emulate him. We can all learn from Paul Scholes."

    Zidane: "My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation."

    Lippi: "Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team – that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. An all-round midfielder who possesses quality and character in abundance."

    Thierry Henry: "Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength and he is a genuine competitor."

    Rooney: "He's unbelievable - he's one of the greatest of all time." [17]

    Sir Bobby Charlton: "I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It's Paul Scholes. Many great players have worn the shirt of Manchester United. Players I worshipped, then lost with my youth in Munich. Players like Denis Law and George Best who I enjoyed so much as team-mates and now, finally, players I have watched closely in the Alex Ferguson era. And in so many ways Scholes is my favourite. I love his nous and conviction that he will find a way to win, to make the killer pass or produce the decisive volley. When a game reaches a vital phase, these qualities seem to come out of his every pore. He's always on the ball, always turning on goal. He's always looking to bring other people into the action and if he loses possession you think he must be ill."

    Zidane: "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."

    Jose Mourinho: “Why isn’t he playing for England? It is crazy. Only in England. Scholes is a great, great player. So experienced and still, for me, one of the best in the world in midfield. Manchester United are lucky to have him.”

    Xabi Alonso: "Fans in Spain rate him very highly and I admire him a huge amount."

    Nani: "He’s the best midfielder I’ve ever seen. He can pass, score goals with his left, right, his head – he can do anything. And he can beat a player too, plus he loves to nutmeg you! He's unbelievable."

    Arsene Wenger: "“He did not get completely what he deserves as a player because he’s not a “media lion”. He’s not one who runs after the media to be in the papers. I respect that."

    Ian Holloway: "When he passes the ball it stays passed. The ball goes exactly where he wants it to. I have always loved him for that. I played against him once or twice and he is an absolute genius. He is a role model for anyone who wants to play football. He is a joy to watch. In fact, I wish he was 21, then I could see his career all over again." (I personally love this one!)

    Ryan Giggs: "I’d go for Scholesy as the club’s greatest ever player. I’ve seen him do things that no other player can do. The way he can control the tempo of games, and his range of passing, are both incredible. We’ve seen over the years that players just haven’t been able to get near him. And you can’t forget his goals either."

    Alan Hanson: "He is one of the top three to five players to have ever played in the Premier League - his passing, movement and technique set examples to everyone, not just younger players."

    Xavi: "To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I’ve seen in the last 15 or 20 years."

    Cesc Fabregas: “For any football player in the Premiership, Scholes is a player you want to emulate. One player does not make a team but there is no doubt that the presence of some players add extra motivation and confidence. Scholes is a player with character and is capable of transmitting that mental strength to his team-mates."
