Scholes over Keane all day, by far the superior player. Same with Lampard, consistently good for a decade, Gerrard has been poor now since 2009.

I can see why you chose Cantona, but there are three or four strikers who are/were better than him.

EDIT - There is no way Ole isn't having the sub spot either.

Keane could do everything that Scholes can do AND tackle.

Edit: Cantona wouldn't be playing as striker, but as a forward playmaker and with Henry in front of him, there's no better choice.
And with Ronaldo in the team a loan striker is all that's required.
With Keane protecting that back 4 and Robson making forward runs, it's virtually unbeatable.

Keane was a work horse with incredible leadership skills. He did not have the vision, passing, shooting or creativity of Scholes. Even now Scholes is pulling the strings, he is awesome. Much better than Keane was.

Well there's no right, or wrong with football...just opinions. I'll give you that.

Never watched cantona...

Lampard may have a better club record goal wise, but is anonymous in the england team. Gerrard always gives his all and is consistently better than lampard really in the national side, even when he plays out of position to accomodate him. But I picked both anyway. Swap em if things need a shake.

Maybe try reading it again?

Keane was nowhere near as good as Scholes in all areas of technique, skill and vision. Quality player though.

Big Pete

Sagna
Ferdinand
Vidic
Cole

Ronaldo
Vieira
Scholes
Pires

Bergkamp

Henry

Subs: RVN, Keane and Campbell.
