    I love him and I think the argument that he's the best footballer ever to play is a very strong one - He wins on longevity, attitude, trophies(bar losing a WC final and EC final on pennos with Italy). Really if you're oging to judge the best player ever, it's very hard not to pick him.

    But......

    He shouldn't play on. He's now an automatic substitution for Milan after 65 mins because he tires and offers almost nothing going forward any more. The team doesn't carry him so much, but they only get two substitutions per match and very little penetration down the left.

    Although, who can tell Paolo to stand down? They were probably saying the same thing 5 years ago.

    I thought Paolo was at his peerless best against Arsenal and didn't look anywhere near finished.
    Glad he's going for another season:)

    I love Maldini and i do think he could stay on for another season but Milan need to cop on. they're outta Europe & struggling in 5th in A. they are not the team they used to be. Berlusconi needs to spend some serious cash to replenish Milans Squad, they need at least one top striker & centre back.

    The thing is though, I don't think Maldini is the weak link :)

    Agree 100%. Watched the whole Arsenal game today for the first time and he was quality. The little nutmeg down the line in the second half was class (and he had the pace to get onto the ball afterwards). To see him flying into tackles and making blocks in the opposition half was brilliant. His age has nothing to do with it really. He's fit enough and good enough so let him play on.
