Looks like he is staying for a bit (at least according to Sportmediaset:
Un altro giocatore per Mourinho: si tratta dell’attaccante nigeriano Victor Obinna. Il giocatore, che era stato ceduto all’Everton, non ha ottenuto il permesso di soggiorno e si aggregato alla rosa con la maglia numero ventuno. La squadra si è allenata in due gruppi: chi ha giocato martedì ha svolto un lavoro di recupero. Allenamento a parte per Jimenez, Maxwell e Stankovic con il serbo che si ha svolto un lavoro aerobico sul campo e in palestra.

I think that Inter has plans for him when they clear out some more forwards from the Mancini era. I think that he would make a great rotation at one of the wings.

I would an Italian team so that he can get quality minutes to help him develop against top opposition and maybe even Europe experience.

Perhaps if they could work out one of those “gentleman’s agreements” that he wouldn’t play against Inter.

But he would be an excellent pickup for Napoli, and he does definitely need to play somewhere. The primavera just won’t work for him.

See, I am more comfortable with him going outside the league.

I will get a new post up tonight. I would have done it last night but we had a small dinner party (I cook) and after 4 bottles of wine, it was just so not happening.

Obinna news… read as rumor. I actually think that Napoli would be a great place for him to go and learn.

Right, I just couldn’t post on her blog last night. Right after she calls me a racist.

Whatever.

I hope that our morale and health as a team is high enough that we are still able to play games in practice in November and December:

Inara has confirmed that she hasn’t banned MAD.

It really would be best if everyone put the whole thing behind them.

Wow. I would try contacting Chris or Daryl. Chris would be at roma[at]theoffside[dot]com and Daryl at daryl [at] theoffside.com.

By the way, this was posted by a Lyon fan. Notice how this Lyon fan make the blanket statement of all “Italians”? Yeah, not only did I not even do that, but this guy is still able to post where ever he wants. I guess Inara agrees with this guy. Since I bet he can still post on her blog.

“But the whining about the goal is just further evidence to how much Italians and their soccer fans bitch and moan and look for excuses about everything in soccer, yes even Fiorentina.”

Apparently I have been banned from posting on the main page and the Lyon page.

The Lyon page blogger, called Inara has accused me of racism and apparently I am no longer welcome there.

By the way, she also stated that Italians are so corrupt that teams don’t get relegated there when they are found guilty of match fixing. Here’s the quote:

“The Marseille incident, a huge embarrassment to French football, happened over 15 years ago, and both of those teams were relegated as well (as opposed to in Italy, where teams can escape with only some deducted points). Since then, French football has completely cracked down on any sort of corruption.

I guess it’s okay to be a bigot when you are the blogger.

Oh yeah, when she said that I was being racist? She was lying about it. Can’t prove a single instance. Here’s the quote:

“Also, MAD, it hasn’t escaped my notice that you’ve been spending your evening bashing Lyon and the French on both Ted’s and Chris’s posts. The bigoted remarks have actually been started tonight by you and others (calling the French monkeys and frogs, need I go on?).”

Here’s the challenge: Try to find an instance where I called anyone a frog or a monkey.

Want another sure thing? She won’t come in here and try to defend her bullshit either. Hell, she won’t let me post on her blog disagreeing with her and proving that she has no idea what she is talking about. You think that she has the stones to actually do this?

I have no idea why I can’t post on the main page. Apparently Chris doesn’t like what I have to say either. He must agree with what Inara has to say.
