Lampard better than Scholes?

Biatch please :o

Is he? :confused:
How the hell do you come to that conclusion, I thought you only had eyes for Man.U. players, as blinkered as you are.
Or would it have sated your tiny mind if I had said Lampard was the most prolific goal scoring midfielder ever? Is that what you needed to hear? If so just ask.

Ask anyone who isn't a Chelsea supporter who's the better of the two...

Oh and just a general FYI it's responses like the above which is how I know exactly what your intention is with 99% of your posts in here however much you may like to proclaim your innocence ;)
 
Porto the transfer market kings.

Who's the most prolific goalscorer out of Lamps and Scholes was my last qualification of my point I believe, who do you think is?

I don't really care if you answer my questions or not, you carry on just saying I@M HAVING DA DIG!!!

I can't understand why no one has seemingly attempted to sign their scouting department up :p

Granted there are plenty of homegrown Portuguese players there but the rest are nearly all from south america.

On that list will be Jackson Martinez shortly as well, he cost 11m but I won't be surprised if he goes to At.Madrid when Falcao leaves or another big club for at the very least 20m.
 
Utd fans have spent the majority of the past 3-4 years begging Scholes to retire, begging Fergie to replace him and complaining about his pace and how the midfield plays when he's in it, while Chelsea fans have been begging the club to keep him, while Lampard has been consistently one of if not the best scorer each seasons and continues to do so.

Scholes AT HIS BEST, was one of the best in the world, but he was actually at his best for a relatively short space of time. The guy he was, isn't the guy he's been for pretty much the last decade.

He's broken 10 league goals twice in his career, 95-96 and 02-03, in all competitions he's reached 20 a single time, in 02/03, and been between 10-14 goals 7 times which is absolutely not bad. However for 8 years straight he hasn't broken 7 goals in all competitions, and in all but that one year he got the 7 goals, he hasn't got above 4 goals.


Lampard, since 02/03 has only dropped below 15 goals in all competitions twice, and been above 20 goals 5 times(in a row). In the past decade Scholes has scored 62 goals, Lampard has scored 196 goals. In the same time period Scholes has gotten roughly 31 assists while Lampard has gotten 123 assists.

Scholes was always at basically the best team in the league, lampard spent a lot of time at a significantly less good West Ham side. Over their entire career's I would say Lampard has had more top seasons than Scholes as, and in the past decade, there isn't even any competition as to which has been the better player. I think Scholes at his absolute best was as good or a bit better than Lampard in his best year, but in terms of effectiveness, both defensively, and scoring and assisting directly, Lampard has proven to be the better player.

For me Scholes around 99-04 was probably the best midfielder in the world. Since then he hasn't been close to the same player. At the same time I think Lampard in the past 7-8 years has been the significantly better player, not hugely worse for a couple years before that, and the less good player through the 90's, but he was closer to Scholes in the 90's than Scholes has been to Lampard through the past decade.
 
scholes and lampard are/were both incredible midfielders, the likes of which i'm not sure england will see again.

scholes is one of the most grounded footballers i've ever seen and lampard is pretty grounded too. they both deserve massive plaudits for this too imo.
 
if lampard had the peripherial vision of scholes and scholes had the finishing ability of lampard, you'd pretty much have the ultimate midfielder ..... apart from the tackling.
 
I dont know why u guys are comparing them. 2 completely different players. Lampard is much more attack minded and Scholes was more of a passer who could score goals but was never his priority. Also Lampard has scored a lot of penalties take the penalties out of it and Lamps statistics are much different.
