Alright, he still won't be Italian. He might play for the Azzurri though so he'll normally have to love the team he's playing for. Now we have a Brazilian who likes Azzurri NT so he is an Azzurri fan boy. I'd accept this logic if Jack didn't make fun of those who were moaning about Amauri's non-Italian blood.
No, that was not your point. Pay attention here. I said that I am not opposed to Grosso because he is indeed better than our current staff at the position. You said he is an excellent player, which he is not. I don't know how he's such an excellent player when he could not win over starting roles in two of the top club teams in the world. Therefore, saying he's excellent is not correct, because excellent players secure their roles in those clubs.
Grosso was good going forward for the Azzurri in 2006, but he was bailed out defensively by Cannavaro, who was probably the best in the world back then. Cannavaro not only had to bail out Grosso, but also the dunderheads next to him in Materazzi and Barzagli. So that was quite amazing.
But no, your original point was that Grosso is an excellent player, which he is not. That is simply not possible and you cannot say he is one just because he's a "World Cup Winner." Freakin' Zaccardo was on that team as well, so that fact debunks that crap.
I can't stand Azzurri fanboys who use that line as justification for buying their overrated players.

What do you mean? Amauri is not italian by blodd but he's Italian because he's eligible of the Italian passport. He's an Azzurri fan boy until he becomes Italian and September was a joke, for me he's Italian as of now and thus not a fan boy. It's the same logic that I used when I mocked the Italian blood gang.
What makes someone an Italian? Many players get Italian passports considering the limitations for non-EU players in European teams. This doesn't make them Italian. Amauri is always a Brazilian but this Italian blood shit can't keep someone from playing for another national team IMO. It also can't keep someone from being a fan of another national team. There's nothing wrong with this.
There's also no difference between a national team and a club from this point of view. I'm not Italian, I've never been in Turin and I'll probably never be there but I like Juve and I'm a fan of them. A bunch of my favorite players are playing for the Azzurri so I like them even though I neither have Italian blood nor do I have Italian passport.

Fanboy is an inappropriate term. Particularly when we are trying to exhcange opinions in a civilized manner.
Diego is a world class player, couldn't make it at Porto. Lippi is a world class manager, couldn't make it at inter. shevchenko was a great player at milan, couldnt make it at chelsea. Canna-Madrid? This list could go on and on and on... Sometimes great players cannot fulfil their potential in certain evironments. Grosso has had a difficult couple of seasons but in the right environment ie Juve he could become a great player again.

Personally for me i find it damn annoying when these azzurri fanboys from minnow footballing countries keep calling my national team shit when they know they dont even have a proper national army.
Its all fine & well if they wanna right off their national teams but there's no reason to hate on mine.
