Central Midfielders:
Kagawa: Quite good, but hurt
Anderson: Quite good, but hurt.
Cleverly: Above average, but not good enough for a flight squad.
Scholes: Old boy's finally starting to fall behind. Last season
Giggs: Old boy's days past him a couple seasons go. Last Season
Last fall, until they were hurt, Cleverly and Anderson were shredding teams.
Of the above, many of who you originally quoted could partner with Carrick.

Simply defending Carrick's role. If Rooney, wants to play CM with Carrick, I see very few that displace either of them.
