Grosso is old as fuck and not as good as Johnson.

Nice try Glaswegian person, (I realise Grosso plays left back and Johnson "plays" right back) but my point was I'd much rather pay €2m for a full back with talent than £18m for an absolute piece of shit.

So if you only get 1 or 2 seasons out of Grosso, at those prices you can get 9 different talented full backs for the same price as 1 retard.

Johnson has looked good this year, FWIW. I was skeptical with his signing, and I can't say he's 'worth' all that money, but he's done well for Liverpool thus far.

I thought Grosso passed away a couple years ago.

That's what happens when you go to play in France

[Archer]

You're joking right?

Somewhat . The standard of the french league is horrible though ....

I am sure if you go there and just play "solid" for a few years you could easily be forgotten about .

R.I.P That ex-Milan player with the stamina problems.

I'm in Washington D.C. right now celebrating the Sounders win over DC United in the US Open Cup Final. Tonight was fucking amazing.

Wow, so Chelsea aren't allowed to sign any player until Winter 2010.

Fuck.

That about sums it up.

Wow.

I can imagine them appealing and getting it rescinded.

I love their jersey and the city they play for. I dont follow soccer until it gets big however so its good to hear they won something big.

I was only able to watch the replay of the Open Cup, but was certainly pleased with it and Seattle winning. They definitely deserved it, and Wicks was a huge disgrace, not that that's a surprise.

About time Chelsea finally get real sanctions. I doubt any major club is "clean" when it comes to transfer dealings, but I'm still bitter about the whole Ashley Cole tapping up deal.

Not the first time Chelsea have been accused of this either .... I still remember the thing with the Leeds youngsters that they signed.

Scotland need to win today vs Macedonia. Pundits are already making excuses "don't be fooled, Macedonia are not a bad side" "we're not very good at dominating when we're expected to"

Darren Fletcher will score 7 goals unassisted.
