Scholes one of my favourite players outside my own club,
absolutley one of the best of all time in the prem, but to say he's in the class of Xavi and Iniesta as AF has said this week is going to far,
yes great premieship player, but not great in Europe or as a international,
i remember the 'golden generation' of Englands midfield, Scholes,Lampard,Gerrard and Beckham in the euro's all were crap, and if you tried to pick who was the worst you would be hard pushed but i reckon it was Scholes probably because of the heat, when he returned he quit.
this was always the case in any major international tournament,
compare that to the Barca midfield and theres a massive difference
then when did Scholes play in the Man Utd midfield that took all before them and blased a trail accross Europe, al Barcalona,
it never happened, yes they won the champs league twice once when he didnt play and they got jammy in injury time,
and once they bored us to death and won because Terry couldnt stand up straight to take a pen, hardly inspiring
as much as i like Scholes as a player and a person,. he never proved himself at top international level, and to put him on par with the Barca pair is overating his talent
