A year after that CL win we won the league and Sheva got the Golden ball. Is that a decline? (IMG:

He is only 30 (younger than many our players). Isn't you the one who always pro older and experience players?
He will be 31 IF and that's a big if he comes.
I think his declining stage started after istanbul, meaning last season. We all saw that he wasn't the same Sheva, especially during the closing stages of the season when he kept getting injured and was having problems with Carlo

From what I see/hear I can't see him staying in England much longer, I think he is really struggling with the language.
Every week he gets interviewed on Match of the Day, he starts talking in English and you can tell he really doesn't know an awful lot. He usually finishes the interview in Italian.
If he can't nail the language down, he won't be happy here, ther'll be no-one to talk to other than a few team-mates.. possibly.
I don't think he's leaving anytime soon. He's just had another kid. Packing up and moving your family all over again is not something that you can keep doing every couple of months.
The language thing will definately get better with time, English is a hard language to learn, especially when you're 30 years old and you don't have any idea of it.
