I'll have Schole's on my shirt! Imagine the press surrounding that though aswell, Sky Sports would be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunteruk Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 it will happen one day i hope he does one day,would be a massive boost for the club,and generate some really good publicity,and maybe make other higher quality players have a rethink. be easier decision for him if we went up i think.

thetramfixer Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Paul Scholes is a family centred bloke more than anything, hence the England decision, not a chance in hell of him going to Sunderland or out of area for anyone. Living at Grasscroft, kids settled, quality cars, nice home, IF United do win the Champions L could easily see him joining us in 12 months time just because he can indulge himself and enjoy playing for his team and helping lift the status. Just think of who would like to play for a team with Scholes in it. Perhaps even Chris Hall would be tempted back Can see him always having a job offer at Old Trafford but could possibly be tempted to have a bit of fun and go out of playing with a proper club! i tend to agree with most of your post..... but has anyone really thought about the 'slightly' bigger picture? yes he has all the trappings of a luxury life.... as well as the wife n kids thing, cars, house and bank balance etc... he works for a firm that allows him to enjoy all the above things without one iota of worry/concern about anything. his working attire is top of the range, his workplace could be said to be second to none...and more importantly the medical facilities are out of this world! WE don't appear to have a physio, and not a regular one since nobby left months ago! the infastructure at our club is delapidated (ok that's supposed to being changed shortly?) at best! in a nutshell........ i will compare it to a delivery man... option 1 - you work yr nads off and the company gives you a decent pension, pays you well, and has given you all the mod cons and a new van every year to do your job! option 2 - ... g g g g g g g granville? where's ya bike? oh and if you f f f f f f fall of it...don't expect any time off.. sorry but when one is wrapped in cotton wool, you will never go back to sandpaper! HE AINT COMING!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be Scholes then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointonsTache Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 On the Scholes front i do remember reading he had the jap reporters at the 2002 world cup scratching there heads when asked who did he idolise when he was younger to which he replied Frankie Bunn. It was Andy Ritchie Scholes' Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejh45 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Scholesy stated in a recent edition of 4-4-2 magazine that he had heard the story about his move to Oldham, but didn't know where it had started from. He also stated he hadn't decided what his next move was going to be. Edited April 14, 2008 by mikejh45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prendy_1984 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Paul Scholes has always tried to steer clear of media attention and enjoys living a quiet life. As already said in this thread Scholes coming to Latics would create a massive media attention. For this reason alone I think he will never come. Hope I am wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just another good player there, quietly going about his work allowing others to take the media attention.

Prendy_1984 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Did you really just compare McAteer to Paul Scholes. N McAteer loves the media, no one can have forgotten that advert. "Jason knows he can have it all!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Jason knows he can have it all!" I did compare them, but you might have noticed I didn’t find them to be too similar My favourite Trigger moment was when a waitress in a restaraunt asked if he wanted his pizza cut into 8ths. He said that he wasn’t that hungry, so she should just cut it into quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he wasn’t that hungry, so she should just cut it into quarters My favourite Trigger story by far is the one told by razor Ruddock on Soccer AM... him and Trigger had been out on the lash one night and stayed at Macca's house.... they were late for training and when hey went to get into macateer's BMW, he realised that he had locked his keys in the car the night before.... him and razor started trying to break in when a police car drives past, stops,and asks them what the hell they are doing... they explain, and as the officer was a liverpool fan and realises who they are - offers to jimmy the door and get into the car.... so he asks if macateer has a coathanger to pick the latch on the door and slide down the window.... macateer says yes, and toddles off into his house for ages... and comes back looking all smug with himself.... carrying a Wooden coathanger... He is truly the most stupid footballer ever... sorry, maybe not, i forgot about Jonathan Woodgate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a nickname like "Village" as in idiot he surely has to be one of the bigger planks in the footballers world. That takes some doing as well!
