Re: Paul Scholes - The Man Who Would Be King
i will cry like a prepubescent girl when he hangs up his boots. what a £#%&!ing pleasure it has been to see that man play.
i used to [thanks malc] sit and just watch him. i missed loads of goals because i was looking at the way he moved. just an amazing player. |

We were a good team but we really needed another ball carrier. Someone who could unlock defences by taking on and dribbling past players. We only had Giggs who could do that, and back then he was operating from out wide. You look at the Madrid team back in those days, and although they neer won it with these players somehow, they had people who could carry the ball all over the pitch - Figo, Ronaldo, Zidane etc. But Fergie only brought in another great passer (Veron) and a great finisher (Ruud). In the case of the former, we already had the likes of Scholes and Beckham at the club. It was that Ronaldinho type player we lacked, and had to wait to blossom for 3 seasons in the shape of Ronaldo. For all I've said about Ruud in this post, for me the best performance he put in for us, from a certain point of view (mine ), was away at the Bernabeu in the 3-1 defeat to Madrid. While a lot of those big name players bottled it, he was terrific. Showed a lot of desire, didn't freeze or let his head drop, and got us a thoroughly deserved (on a personal level) goal. Looked like he belonged on that stage, unlike our other players. Fantastic performance Apparently after the FA cup final against Millwall he gave the MOM award that Sven awarded him () to Ronaldo But as I said, seemed to turn into a bit of a lazy and moody @#%&! towards the end. A shame he didn't win more as his earlier performances certainly merited it. Anyway about Scholes, good player isn't he? |

But yeah, that was possibly Ruud's finest hour for us even though we lost. Back to Scholesy. Lord how we're going to miss him. |
