the Lia experience arguement is getting a little old and tired - much like him, he's slow, not that good at passing the ball forward. As a squad player I'd be happy to have him around but as a starter? no way!
I am not disagreeing with what you said but still think Lia should be re-signed.
Lia's strength is not in speed or mobility, but he was an excellent "babysitter" to Riera when he played next to him. I would argue that a lot of Riera's success came from having Lia covering his backside.
Sure, Lia is older now, but only as old as Durante.
