Well, along with Pippo I think Alex was one of the best players in the Azzurri qualification campaign. He also did well (when given the chance) against Mexico in the WC2002. Alex also did extremely well at the start of the season with Juve. I don't think he has 'lost' it, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Playing against Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock is one thing and making it in the big stage is another thing. In fact, I was very eager to see Larsson ply his trade outside of the SPL, to test his abilities further. He played well in the International scene in the WC94, 02 granted, but I have a feeling the 32 year old's International comeback won't be that good due to a long season with Celtic (injuries) as well as added pressure of coming out of retirement to help the team. I might be wrong ofcourse

I agree that Larsson is a great player, but I just can't see him as a world class star. I would love to see him in a big team like Man Utd or Barcelona but even that doesn't look likely as Larsson may join mid-table Liga team. He didn't take the International stage by storm too. But that's just my opinion, Zambrotta. One thing is for sure though, I really respect him.

In three weeks we will see who's right.

Some times his first touch is poor, sometimes his dribbling sucks...but he just seems to score goals from absolutely nothing...and his work rate and positioning are first class
Still...he's not the player he was when he played for Celtic:dontcare:
