I just feel he is overpriced and you don't need me to point out why he is left out of the squad nowdays and not really in the England frame. Simple, there are just better and exciting players who can do what he does. The only reason he is partnering Scholes now is due to heavy injury list. He is no doubt behind,Scholes,Giggs,Park,Ando,Cleverly,Fletcher in SAF's choice this season. He is playing well atm, like I said and hope he uses this chance to reinsert himself as an important part of the squad.
I had the same impression of you last season. Why Carrick was still in the squad eventhough we all can see how shite he was. His passing was amazingly not connecting at all. It's like he was playing FIFA and holding the Long Pass button for too long.But now (yes you MUST people, I have repent, but the sig it still stays there yo) I have to admit, Carrick is having the form of his life. One thing why he was overpriced is because he's English, and back then he was still a young midfielder, 24 if I'm not mistaken. But the gamble did not turn out good, he did not get selected for England due to his injuries . But doesn't matter now, what we have now is a very good midfielder capable of intercepting and passing, but not yet Roy Keane style (whereby he does a karate kick two footed tackle).
In terms of the behindness, however,
he is behind Scholes and Giggs,
it's hard to compare to Park because both have different style of play,
Ando is behind him by a landslide at the moment due to his form,
Cleverley is, well, we can't judge him yet because he has not played much games for the first team,
Fletcher was on top him,
