I think Gerrard is a great player, Lampard less so
But Scholes is another level
Quote:
In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.
Xavi
My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.
Zinedine Zidane
The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy – Scholes.
Patrick Vieira
He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.
Cesc Fabregas
I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’.
Thierry Henry
Why isn’t he playing for England? It is crazy. Only in England. Scholes is a great, great player. So experienced and still, for me, one of the best in the world in midfield. Manchester United are lucky to have him.
Jose Mourinho
Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.
Zinedine Zidane

Carragher's argument made no sense, and when Neville tried to argue with him that controlling a game is no less important than scoring a goal, he had no follow up
Neville has shown over the past 2 years to be extremely fair and balanced, he has criticized United players when the time called for it
