Scholes claimed Rooney may be past his best and that Roy Hodgson won't have the guts to drop him. Gerrard and Hodgson came out in defence of Rooney.

I can't be arsed finding the articles right now but thought I'd make the thread anyway :cheek:

I think it's great that Scholes isn't afraid to slag high profile players off like Wilshere and Rooney. And his opinions should be taken far more seriously than the likes of Gerrard's who has an agenda and doesn't have the same level of understanding of the game.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Im not sure if you're implying the captain of the team should come out and slate Rooney in the press before a World Cup?

Nah he just mumbles in a shit accent, and he says things in a very simplistic way, he doesnt come across as intelligent, just cause he understands football doesnt mean he would make a top pundit, he made me cringe more than once on the occasion he worked for SS when he slagged off Wilshere, he's like Redknapp without the looks, nice clear accent and style

Scholes is just putting out the easy answers and getting wanked for it because he's Paul Scholes. Typical British pundit basically.

:thumbsup: and the only reason he is coming out with these 'bold' comments is cause he needs/wants the media work, no-one would employ him if he was just gonna sit there and mumble about how great everyone is

If this was 2010 then fair enough, but saying stuff like "Wilshere hasn't developed" & "Rooney should be dropped" is not daring at all, go into any pub in England and 90% of the people will tell you the same thing.

If Jamie "Ijustwannastealcarsyaknowjustwannastealhubcapsyaknowjustwannathieveyaknow" Carragher can make a career of it then I'm sure Scholes won't have much of a problem.

What is Gerrards agenda btw Scholes which is being highlighted by his lack of criticism toward his mate Wayne?

He's going to want to speak highly of his England team mate obviously.

It's not like Scholes can't possibly have an agenda of his own anyway. He is sharing these opinions through various media outlets, outlets that want to create hype and controversy whilst still telling people what they want to hear. "Rooney is past it, should be dropped" is pretty much the perfect example of that, seems like a bold statement but isn't actually bold at all. The fact that he's accompanied these opinions without any kind of insight or reasoning would suggest that he's actually just taking advantage of Rooney's declining support to get his own media career off the ground. Don't believe the hype, even if it is coming from one of your idols.

I'd have to agree Scholes would make a shit pundit, although a clear genius on the field he comes across very simple in interviews, seems to stutter a lot too and has trouble with articulation, not a bad person to bring in every once in a while and stir things up though.
