Cruello never seems to give up, but you gotta admire him for his dedication and supreme "football intellect" :P

I have given this some thought, and I really don't think we should buy Grosso. No need for a panic purchase at this point in time. Let's wait until the Winter Mercato, and see where we stand in both the CL and Serie A, before deciding on what course of action to undertake. Perhaps better options...

There is no way a camel is worth $100,000 :shifty: :andyandbarcelona: Oh, and Grosso won't be joining us, I hope :P

:rofl2: Is this the Grosso thread? maybe we should rename it to the Gross Oh! Thread :P Zebina will rediscover himself next season, and DC will have a breakout year. DC ftw! You heard it here first!

:lol: :rofl2:

He isn't going to be that cheap. Lyon are notoriously tough negotiators. Add to that his potential exorbitant wage demands (for a player his age), the fact that he still has 3 years on his current contract with Lyon (which means he may expect the same from us), and that as of today there were...

:rofl2: :lol: :shifty: Were you being serious, sarcastic, or is this what they call "purely blind optimism?" With a defence comprising Canna, Legro, Grosso, Grygera, Zebina, and whoever else we are not going anywhere, let alone challenging for the Champions League. As for the whole experience...

But in all fairness, Andy's selections and criticism of them is warranted and valid. Nocerino is a mediocre player, Molinaro reminds me of Forrest Gump, and as for Palladino and Marchionni I have no words to describe them. Iaquinta only rose to the occasion this season, and he still needs to...

Go crawl back into ur hole. I really don't give much credence to your posts, nor your opinions. You are as biased as they come, you Trez Hater. Oh, and you are the master of BS, you invented it on these forums!

Lyon are tough negotiators. Let's hope they don't budge from their 8.5 million asking price (which is ridiculous tbh) so that we can go and look elsewhere. No way should we pay more than 3 million pounds for Grosso.

Fuck this shit, and fuck Grosso. If this really happens, it will be a disgrace! The fans need to protest. Why buy an average player who hasn't been playing well for 3 years now? This is ridiculous. I don't care if he is cheap or not. We need to build a team, not acquire pieces of scrap like...

Oops, I forgot Oddo, another mediocre player in the Azzurri setup.

No he wasn't. Chiellini was far superior. I clearly remember the incredible Zambrotta back pass, and then laughed when Milan signed him. As for Grosso, I just don't like the guy. I think he is vastly over rated, just like Barzagli and Zaccardo. They played well as a unit in Palermo, but they...

Which isn't saying much, since the whole team sucked. The best players were Buffon, Chiellini, and Cassano.

I disagree. He is not always a star. He did star at the 2006 WC, but the whole Italian team was magnificent then. The Italian backline can hardly be described as being powerful of late. I love the Azzurri, but did you see how they were dismantled by Holland at the Euros? Did you see how they...

10 million? Are u insane? I wouldn't even pay half that amount for Grosso. 10 million for mediocrity is quite a high price.

I would. Grosso is not getting any younger and will not improve; Criscito, on the other hand, has had a stellar season, and potentially has a very bright future ahead of him. Add to that the fact that he is more versatile and will continue to grow, and the choice becomes quite obvious.

Grosso is shit. How many times must I repeat myself? He plays for the Azzurri because Lippi is biased and has his favorites. If I were building an Azzurri squad for the 2010 World Cup, I would not be starting Grosso over Criscito. He has never impressed me, and he will never be a world class...

No, not even for free. We need to add quality, not quantity. Grosso has never been, and never will be world class player. We already have enough hard working, dedicated players that run around like headless chickens. We don't need one more!

There was a coup @ Juve? :eek: :shocked: :weee: No newspapers reported it :P
