True, few have made a grand impact the past year. And no, Roberto Carlos is not getting it. I don't get why Figo is nominated again, some of the players making the list are the same every year.
A factor that will work agains Alex IMO is that Serie A has lost some of the glamour it used to...
Good points but perhaps you share my impression that it's too little too late. After all, it's "only" the Serie A, Alex won no other trophies. I fear it's just enough for a good impression, a solid good impression, but winning merit, I doubt it.
