ive always thought highly of juninho, and im not sure why he wasnt linked to any other clubs during the window. i think he is better for value than essien at least. juninho overtook beckham years ago as the dead ball expert and after a win over madrid, he may well have proven it to the rest of europe.
surprised about rosenborgs win, group F looks the most interesting. porto better qualify in group H, they better beat the huns the next time they play them. it shits me to tears that the team that knocked us out are in the same group as rangers. my day would have been perfect if porto could have won 4-0. still, i dont think porto have looked half as good as the years they won uefa cup and ucl. just goes to show the influence of deco.
and for those aspiring to be the next abramovich, Lecce are up for sale
