He is the same as Scholes, If anything Scholes is better. Just because he Dominated a poor english performance in midfield on sunday. No point in buying a 35 year old.

Replacement for Scholes? He's 33.

Tobajjass:

We won't get him now but Juventus got him on a free transfer last summer, why didn't Fergie go for him? He would be the perfect replacement for Scholes. Imagine him and Scholes together. The possession would be like 99-100%.

Why not say that about every good player.

great player but he is to old to be considered a replacement for anyone, he is past his peak year(still amazing) and we will only get a few more years out of him until he considered retirement. At the age of 33 he will be settled in italy and happy there with his family, if this was a younger pirlo i would be saying we should buy him or look at him as a midfield option but he is too old now even though he is a fantastic player.

How is a 33 year old a replacement ? He would be temporary..... And why do everyone on this forum think that if United want to get a player, they will get him..... I don't think he would want to go to PL.....

He's 32/33 and plays in a slow league. He'd come here and have no time on the ball like he got last night. He wouldn't last 30 minutes a match here.

No it wouldn't. We do not use a 3 man midfield. Get that into ur head. And he left Milan cause he had not been in great form, went to Juve and have been immense since. A lucky strike from Juve.

Yes you could. It would have allowed Scholes to get forward a lot more.. It wouldn't have worked with a 2 man midfield with just them but I think it could work with a 3 man midfield with someone just infront of them or just behind them so they could go forward. These world-class players could make it work. They aren't selfish enough to make it fail. They are professionals.

You couldnt field them both together because they are very similar in style.

you're making a thread about...why we didn't make a move for Pirlo last summer? ffs
