1, Very debatable, Scholes may not run about like a headless chicken, but he's always 'there' that's why he has and continues to be up there with the best in the world.
2, Not really that important, but Gerrard also plays with Mascherano covering him
3, Lampard plays attacking midfield, he has Mikel or Makelele doing his donkey work
So until we get a Mascherano or Mikel, we will struggle in midfield
Agreed, but all the signs are that we are very much looking to sign a central tough man in the makalele or mikel or mascherano mould, and to me just one of those, not 2, but 1, will be enough to facilitate playing Modric in the middle.
and to the other dude... no i do not suggest that he will be better than gerrard lampard and scholes (though the hope is that he is of that quality), what i do suggest is that if they have all been successful in central midfield then there is every reason that he should be as well because he outworks and outfights all of them and they are all deemed more than hardworking enough.
