Laursen applauded at news conference not much of an applause but it's a big shame seeing him go out like that. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/8052621.stm If it was'nt for his injury and a small squad i think villa would be flying much higher this season.
Martin Laursen would be one of the best centre halfs in the world were it not for his injury troubles, i have always thought he was class. Laursen and Mellberg FTW
exactly my thoughts.... selfish as fuck..... dream team.... but this lad was at the top of his game last year. Madness.
alright then, he IS a good defender, good positioning, reads the game well and scores a fair few as well - also he is underated and had he played for one of the 'big 4' he'd have been creamed over by pundits and papers - the same applies with Mellberg (all be it to a slightly lesser extent)
He signed from AC Milan, had his chance at a big club but it didn't work out for him over 3 seasons there. Really sad he's had to go out this way, his form last season was the best of his career.
