BATISTUTA'S TOO RICH FOR UNITED
Gabriel Batistuta asked Manchester United for an incredible £75,000-a-week
basic salary to join the Premiership army of foreign superstars.
The Argentina captain, who will lead his side against England tomorrow in St
Etienne, privately agreed to switch from Fiorentina to Old Trafford.
Alex Ferguson was willing to pay the £13million asking price, but the club's
plc baulked at his massive wage demand for more than £3m-a-year.
A four-year deal would have cost United a combined transfer fee and wages
package of £27m for the 29-year-old, who is outgunning Ronaldo here in
France.
Ferguson opted out of the race for Marcel Salas, and the Chilean signed for
Lazio, but the United boss didn't want to lose Batistuta.
But while the Old Trafford board were examining ways of paying the biggest
basic wage in British soccer history, Fiorentina made it clear that they
would do everything to keep him, as he is still under contract.

SCHOLES MAKES HIS MARK AMONG THE BEST
Paul Scholes's sparkling form for England has seen him recognised among the
world's elite.
The Manchester United star has been voted one of the most consistent players
during the group stages by top French newspaper L'Equipe
France's top sporting paper has been awarding marks for each performance and
Scholes is the sixth highest ranked player with an average of 6.5 after the
three Group G games.
However, in the unflustered world of Scholes, it hardly raised more than a
fleeting smile when told of his recognition.
Instead he was far from happy with his consistency, saying: "I was pleased
with my first game, but not too pleased with my second when I didn't really
have much of a chance, or a shot. But I had a couple of shots on Friday
night against Colombia and felt I was in the game a bit more."
Scholes is one of five England players sharing around the goals, but there
is a suspicion that his first will not be his last in this competition.
He said: "I'm always confident when shooting.
"When I shoot I think I will score, there is no point being negative about
it. You've got to believe you will score every time."
Scholes, who has the same attitude in training, has no inferiority complex
in facing Argentina and a number of their players he admires. He said: "I
admire Gabriel Batistuta and Ariel Ortega and they have a lot of great
players. However, too much can be made of reputations.
"They will probably be favourites, so there's no pressure - we can go out
and enjoy it.
"There's no point going out there if we don't believe we can win it. We have
a lot of options in our attack: the pace of Michael Owen and Alan Shearer,
the crosses and passes of David Beckham and Darren Anderton. There are a lot
of good things going for us.
"We shall try to get on top of the game as we don't want to let them dictate
the pace.
"It doesn't matter who we are playing, it is the last 16 of the World Cup
and we want to win and progress."
As for the revenge issue, there is not much feeling of that around the
England camp with a number of the players still at school when Diego
Maradona plundered his infamous Hand of God goal in Mexico City in 1986.
Scholes said: "It is just forgotten about, and this is just another game
where we will try to beat them.
"The past is gone and now we are just looking forward.
"I watched that game on TV. At first I didn't think he had done it, but when
you look at the replays you can see it."
Scholes admitted though he was angered at the time. He said: "I was gutted."
Would he ever contemplate doing the same? "I don't know. Maybe. If it gets
me through to the next round."

WE MUST DICTATE THE PACE - SCHOLES
Paul Scholes has urged England to avoid falling into the trap against
Argentina tomorrow that led to their downfall against Romania.
The Manchester United midfielder believes Glenn Hoddle's side paid the
penalty for allowing the Romanians to dictate the pace of the game in the
2-1 defeat in Toulouse last Monday.
Now Scholes feels it is vital that England start in the same high tempo
which enabled them to establish a grip against Colombia on Friday and which
was never relinquished as they ran out comfortable 2-0 winners.
He said: ``I just hope we can put a lot of early pressure on Argentina like
we did against the Colombians and play the game at the pace that we want to
play it, get on top and create a few chances.
``That was the problem against Romania when the tempo was slow and we fell
into their hands with the way the game panned out. I don't think we can let
Argentina dictate in the same manner.
``Against Colombia the tempo of the game was quicker and we did the
business. We had a lot more options with the pace of Michael Owen and Alan
Shearer plus the passing of Darren Anderton and David Beckham.
``We went out with all guns firing and that's what we want against
Argentina.''
Scholes was voted England's most consistent player in the group stages by
French newspaper L'Equipe and he believes he has the shooting power which
may prove decisive in Saint-Etienne tomorrow.
Scholes, who scored a spectacular goal against Tunisia, said: ``I am always
confident when I am shooting and you have to have the belief that you are
going to find the net.
``There is no point in being negative. It helps me shooting every day in
practice against Peter Schmeichel at Old Trafford. You have to produce
something special to get past him.
``As for my form, I was pleased with the first game against Tunisia but the
second game didn't go so well, I hardly had a shot and didn't create much
either.
``I was disappointed with that game. We were up against a better team, knew
we had to play well and it just didn't work out. But on Friday I had a
couple of decent shots and felt I was in the game more.''
Scholes added: ``Argentina will be favourites. They have two excellent front
players in Batistuta and Lopez while Ortega is also a very dangerous player.
They are also very good at the back.
``They will be difficult to beat and we will have our work cut out - but
every game will be hard from now on. You have to beat the best if you want
to go all the way, so why not start with Argentina?
``We believe we can win it and we have a very calm dressing room with no
fear.''
