Which player is techinically more gifted?

Which player contributes more to their respective teams?

Which is the better all round player?

My answer to the above three...

Xavi!
 
different era's for both players....was watching some reruns on espn classic the other day and they had a top 10 scholes goals.omg....that guy must be one of the sweetest ball strikers ever.2 or 3 seasons back - Volley from the corner , cant remember against who but that was sick at his age.
Xavi is brilliant no doubt but in the overall picture i still think Scholes edges it.Im more of a Barca fan but Scholes left his aggressive,no nonsense ,hardcore mofo impression on me many years back.Also i cant remember Xavi being all that brilliant 10-+ years back? Sorry i never followed him then

Not surprising comming from a Barca supporter.Next u gonna say ibra is the best striker in the world.
 
Scholes is the last of a dying breed. The "hardmen of football" era will well and truly be finished when he hangs up his boots. :(
 
No but tell me ibra is the best striker in the world.While u at it Abidal is the best left back in the world
 
It's a shame though... no Vinnie Jones, no Roy Keane, no Dennis Wise... *sigh*

Lay off the crack dude.

Why would i tell you that? Where have i ever said he is the best striker in the world? Also, where have i ever said that Abidal is the best left back in the world?

Show me... i dare you. Find where i said that.
 
Scholes was best in his time xavi still has years ahead :)

Scholes was awe

Xavi has yet to be awe :D

how many times has Xavi won a league champions medal compared to Scholes ?

Being voted best whatever, isnt enough. Its how many times you where a champion that counts.

LoL - how can you compare league champions medals when Scholes has been playing longer? That just makes absolutely no sense.

If i were to use your logic, then Scholes and Giggs would be the greatest players in the history of the game.

So if i take a player who sits on the bench for 5 years at United - he would have more medals than most players will get in thier careers.

Individual achievements is what matters when comparing players. Not team achievements.

you dont' win medals for sitting on the bench... if I'm correct you have to start a certain number of games to win a medal for the EPL.
