not true. yes, he isn't the same player that he used to be, but he is still capable of contributing. the man is too talented not to. he's probably one of my favorite players to watch...every touch of his is genius. clubs would kill to have him on their bench.
and as for him not reaching his fiorentina form in milan..he never had the same scoring exploits, but he has always provided assists and attacking creativity...the 2002/03 season he was spectacular,,particularly in europe. remember that 4-0 drubbing we gave deportivo? pippo may have had a hattrick, but rui had a hand in every single goal. rui was undoubtedly instrumental in bringing home number 6.
