QPR manager Mark Hughes says Hodgson should have attempted to persuade Paul Scholes, 37, out of international retirement ahead of Euro 2012. "I know Paul drew a line under his international career, but it would have been a call worth making," said Hughes
Is he serious? Is it the best England can do, to get Pail Scholes? I would view that as a very negative and backward step

Re: Euro 2012
I am a huge fan of Scholes and IMO in his prime he was the best English player of his generation.
But whats the deal with him right now? He plays OK but he only plays in a UTD side with mediocre creativity from the centre. If they bought someone even half decent they wouldn't need him.
If England played him we might as well all give up now.

I saw this posted on another forum, and thought it would be perfect for here! I don't hold out much hope for England, but stranger things have happened!
