he is more than mediocre... plus he plays alongside cannavaro and chiellini in the national team and they form a powerful back line...
i am not italian and i dont care whether the players we get are italians or not.. but with grosso i know exactly what to expect.
In other words we know what he will be like.. he is guranteed and you cannot deny that he is always a star when it comes to the italian national team.

OP
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 were given a scare by the Romanians after that? I would hardly call their recent displays inspiring or confident either.

Holland pwned Italy in the euros because mr. Donadoni chose to play Matterazzi rather than chiellini.
Italy defended brilliantly through out the euro campaign after that and they managed a 0-0 draw with spain (the strongest attack on earth lol)
when Italy played romania, Zambrottta gave mutu their only goal. If you can remember zambrotta passed the ball to mutu with his head.. it was a terrible mistake.
I think grosso was the best of the back 4 during the euros

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 are befitting of a mid-table club, not a championship caliber team. They have sucked at their respsective clubs ever since. Perhaps Grosso is not utter shit, he may in fact be good, but not good enough for us.

The latest Italian defensive material sux!
It has to be the worst generation of the last 2 decades.
Zambro Canna Nesta Maldini
that was the last real defense the NT had, now its only Chiellini...
If we wont a solid defense we should look in other parts.
The above mentioned defense is finished, Grosso, Oddo, Zaccardo, Barzagli etc all suck!! Criscito is the most promising material coming up, get him back and buy a foreigner!!
