scholes has by no means been a hit or miss for us this season, and hes at the top of his fitness. theres no way unite are sagging in midfield, ye last seaqson definitely but not now. and carrick is an amazing player. look what he did for tottenham last season and look where they are now. hes still adjusting to the football played at united and will soon show his potential. we paid too much for him but hes definitely no compromise. and ive watched hargreaves play at bayern and was always a believer that he was awesome, and i wasnt one that jumped on the bandwagon after the world cup. the team would benefit greatly from him coming to us.
