I don't know. I hope I'm wrong of course but I think Sami is now past it as far as been one of the very best is concerened. He is still able to handle the likes of Derby, Sunderland, etc, but against the likes of Drogba or Ronaldo I would be concerned that he would somewhat of an easy target for the ball around the back. Sami on corners or free kicks is still the old excellant Sami. It is open play where I get concerned when playing against the best. like Man Utd or Chelsea in this league, or Barca in the CL.
