Scholes.
Any day.

Lampard was world class.

Much better than players like pass sideways and flop for real madrid man

of those 4 Beckham, but as >>66305386 said the answer is Giggs
>>
>>66305309
Scholes, no doubt

Lampard definitely. You could expect 20+ a season(for like,what? 15 seasons?) with him, and that's from a fucking midfielder
>>
Scholes OBVIOUSLY.

Literally everyone who has played with him or against him says hes the GOAT.

The other 3 arent on his level.

Scholes by a long shot.

Would takes Scholes over Neymar, Suarez, Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane, Henry, Fat Ronaldo and C. Ronaldo.

Then probably Gerrard.
Beckham
Lampard last of all.

Whilst Gerrard was a superb player he was also, always, a tactical liability.

When on top form he looked like he covered every blade of grass, roy of the rovers style, yet so often he was just a headless chicken creating space for the opposition in midfield.

Scholes was not only the best technical player of all the above but was tactically astute.

Beckham. As an Arsenal-fan, all of them would leave anyway with the club eager to sell, so might as well take the one who is so marketable, he'd generate the most cash.

>>66305309
Not that anyone on this board will admit it, but Gerrard was world class between 2004-2009. He carried that Liverpool team through a lot and was one of the most well rounded players I've ever seen.

Gerrard > Lampard > Scholes >>> Beckham
>>
>>66306141
08/11 period yeah, that was the most complete Scholes who had everything to his game and still had his fitness, a true master
>>
>>66306164
I'm a United fan and usually the last person to compliment Liverpool or Gerrard but I think a lot of Gerrards mistakes were down to poor management. For 5 or 6 years under Benitez for example, he was world class.

Still a prick though.
>>
Not even going to dignify including Scholes in this comparison, so I'm just going to pick another English midfielder from the same generation: Carrick.

Now then

Gerrard >/= Carrick > Lampard > Beckham
>>
>>66306309
All of these players were world class. It's not really a leap to say that Gerrard was.

He was a snidey, bitter, cheating, diving, cheating fuck but he was still a world class footballer.

So was Darren Fletcher though, only he was a gentleman and a model pro.

Scholes, anyone would say Scholes. Any fan that isn't a retard would say Scholes.

He's the most complete player, and was the best midfielder England had, and left England because of the cancerous personality plague that's still there.

A part of me thinks Danny Drinkwater will just walk away from the England set up before it's even chewed him out because of how the media act around the players, and how the players are all fancy stat padding fucks. Players that dislike the public eye, dislike the media; they're often the most vocal on the pitch, as Danny's hero, Scholes was truly a great player and one that deserved so much more from the fans, Drinkwater being of the Scholes mould probably deserves more credit.

What's up with the Scholes was a complete player meme?. He couldn't even defend, every time he tackled he timed it so horribly he was constantly red carded. And let's not even get into ball skills.

Stop talking shit.

Idiocy, as simple as that.

Coaching and management should have highlighted Scholes as the complete and elite midfield in the England team, he is the only England player from the late 90s - early 00s that would be considered world class.

Team should have been built around him.
>>
>>66306804
It's the English mentality, technique and finesse is overlooked for players who can run about and get stuck in
>>
>>66306804
Yep

Scholes should have been paired with a plastic training cone in the centre of midfield if that's what it took for him to play to his potential.

Lampard and Gerrard should've been dropped.

Don't bring things like facts to an argument about Paul Scholes.

Generally the most "overrated" player that isn't Brazilian. Not in the 4chan sense of the word, the real one. A very capable and good footballer but for some reason hailed as a genius when he was simply a good player at a good football club. Reliable, sensible (not a serial drunk or criminal like most England midfielders) and by all accounts quite a nice man but nowhere near the best ever.
>>
>>66306983
Fletcher 09-12 was World class and better than Gerrard. He dominated and destroyed every midfield he went up against in England and in Europe.

Go fuck yourself.

The England team was and still is to an extent, composed of the players the media say is undroppable. Its why Gerrard and Lampard were constantly played together. Its why at the Euros this year Kane, Butland/Forster, Dier, Alli, Drinkwater, Sturridge and Vardy will be played out of position, benched or left at home to accommodate Rooney, Henderson, Delph and Welbeck. England need a manager with the balls to drop underachieving big names.

Scholes. Made up with lack of finesse with extreme aggression and 100% commitment in everything he did.
Even as a pundit you can see he just wants to get back on the field for Utd and get stuck in. If they let him in the dressing room i'm sure the mediocre wankers at united now including the manager would all have black eyes within a couple of minutes.

Lampard "Muh goal once in a blue moon and nowt else"
Gerrard "Mebbe if I keep hitting em from 50 yards one will go in"
Beckham "Give me half an hour and I might manage to run the length of the pitch"

Scholes "Good passer but sent off every other game"
