RobOAFC Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Really ? they coud get sky and watch him on tv if they are that stupid. ONE player wont make a few buy a ST. One player wouldnt? One of best centre mids in the current game.. He can stand in the centre circle and control the game.. Think few people would buy ST to see that in league one since he isn't past it..

BlueJazzer Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The John Sheridan role. Nail his left foot to the centre spot and he'd still spray passes round and control the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 the signing of Matt Smith was touch & go until Lee finally sanctioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I refer to a conversation I had in a taxi in Tanzania three weeks ago. Driver - 'Where are you from?' jss - 'Manchester' Driver - 'Manchester! You support Manchester United?!' jss - 'No I support a team called Oldham, they're in the third division' Driver - 'Oh yes Oldham! Paul Scholes!' Scholes' support is a globally accepted fact.

JonesyOAFC Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The John Sheridan role. Nail his left foot to the centre spot and he'd still spray passes round and control the game. I always say, if Shez was that good at this level with virtually no knees, just imagine how good Scholes would be. Probably in the top five midfielders in the world in the last 20 years. It's a shame it probably won't happen, but we can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 It isn't going to happen and the problem with someone of his ability is that he would make passes our players wouldn't expect and would make him look stupid. Players in the third of circa 480 divisions aren't that bad you know. I'm sure Paul Scholes could escape looking stupid in a Latics team. An ageing top centre-forward might have a frustrating time in the third division, but not a midfield maestro.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have always said that if where in the Championship he may come, because despite his age he still a decent player he would not drop down two leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have always said that if where in the Championship he may come, because despite his age he still a decent player he would not drop down two leagues. Eeeeeee - I love a good Scholesy thread. Will he; wont he???? IMO he wont; but if he did - I have to say that it most certainly would boost attendances and IMO thy'd stay boosted too whilst he remained playing. He's held in such high regard by 'proper Manure fans' (shudders as I type that!) that I'm sure some would come to watch him; but more importantly many of the lapsed stay-a-ways would come flocking back IMO. The best midfielder of the last 15+ years IMO - in world football too; not just English. It would be a joy untold to see him do him thing at BP, but if i'm being totally honest - I think a retirement is imminent after the Champs final.

Lags Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Whilst Latics have not had the quality of Scholes, does he fit PD's plan? I'd say no he doesn't. I think the time as passed for Scholes to play for Latics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1laticsfan Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Also if we ever was to sign him it would surely give us a higher chance of signing better players!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Also if we ever was to sign him it would surely give us a higher chance of signing better players!! Kaka and Messi might need a bit of persuading. Micah Ricahrds, Edgar Davids adn Essien might be a little easier. Favourite player is Scholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the time as passed for Scholes to play for Latics. I'm sure Dickov could adjust his plan to accomodate Scholes lets face it if quality like that comes available you make space for it. Having said that I highly doubt it will happen the player doesn't need it seriously where would you prefer your career to end on a high in the champions league final at Wembley infront of 90,000. Or at Boundary Park infront of a few thousand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at Boundary Park infront of a few thousand For the typical footballer, I couldn't agree more. However I would offer that Scholes is certainly not your typical footballer, and turning out on a Saturday afternoon for his local side may be more of an attractive proposition than it appears. If it were to happen, I predict it being a case of a retirement first, and then perhaps in 6, 12, even 18 months time his love of playing the game hasn't wavered and we could maybe tempt him in to a low key return (if that is possible!). I still believe it to be very unlikely, but hey, it is little hopes and dreams like this that keep us lower league fans going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If talks had taken place and Scholes had agreed to come to Latics I rather think it would have been common knowledge prior to any ST sales push ending.

BP1960 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 More rumours on the net; Paul Scholes is mulling over a move to Oldham, a club that he has long said he will finish his career at. However, his attention has been distracted by the prospect of a 1-year deal at Bolton with the option of joining the coaching staff at the end of it.

PlayItLivo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 prospect of a 1-year deal at Bolton with the option of joining the coaching staff at the end of it. As if he doesn't have a nice lengthy coaching role in United's youth academy already waiting for him. Which is exactly what will happen. He's strikes me as a quiet guy who would happily stay in his comfort zone (Man Utd) and earn a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him wanting to play AGAINST Manure. Which is another reason why we would be a preferred option.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
