I can understand the nostalgia, believe me.
15 years after the fact, it still pains me that Baggio left under the circumstances that he did, but such is football.
You will not hear me say that Trez sucks, he's a waste of space, etc...etc... I hold those comments for Camoranesi.
However, I don't want this team hanging on to players 1 or 2 years too late without having some sort of a plan in place. Look at how long they sat on their asses trying to replace Nedved, and can you tell me that they have actually done it?
You can say that they have, but it required a major tactical shift to a 4-3-1-2 formation, and a sufficient replacement for Nedved is probably still needed
