Foto: Fabio Grosso’s Significant Other

By: Inara | July 13th, 2008

So today I broke down and finally removed the Hatem Ben Arfa category. It was a tough decision, but my therapist told me that it’s important that I begin the healing process (it was a really bad breakup).

With Ben Arfa gone, I’ve decided that it’s time to upgrade Fabio Grosso to his own category, especially since he’s always in the news (sometimes he’s stripping, sometimes he’s slapping people, and sometimes he just makes us say wtf). To celebrate, here is a picture of Fabi with his WAG, Jessica Repetto. Their son Filippo looks just like his dad, btw.

Anyway, I hope Grosso doesn’t do anything stupid like leave Lyon this summer because that would make him the shortest category in the history of the world. Plus I’m getting really attached to him, and I’d miss his long, flowing, curly locks of hair as he runs up and down that left side. Even if his defending makes me cry sometimes.

    (was he not slapped by Torres in the Euros?)

    I hope he does teach his hair tips to his boy. I really, he needs to stop learning from Sidney and Fred.

    I don’t how it’s possible, but I have to admit I like him more & more, just like you do, Inara.
    He is becoming one of our most important player, on the pitch and out of it. Just feel it.

    Having been there for every home match that Grosso played for Inter and seen him once in the flesh and a dozen times on television for OL, I am seriously entertaining the idea that he has made a Faustian Bargain in which he has exchanged world class form with the Azzurri for CFA form with his clubs (I don’t know if the kid’s soul and/or haircut was also part of the deal).

    I really hope it isn’t true (he seems to be a genuinely nice guy and no one who was here in 2006 will ever forget the goal against Germany or the penalty against France), but there is very little evidence to the contrary since he left Palermo.

    Sadly that’s the conclusion most OL fans have come to. And most of them disliked him a lot during the first seven months of his stay in France (I know I’ve advocated his leaving several times). But the club is harboring some hope that they can make him return to his Palermo/Italy form because there have been some games (not many I grant you) where he’s been terrific. Plus he’s a huge personality among the players, sort of like a Remy Vercoutre figure, and even if he hasn’t replaced Abidal in sporting terms, in personality, he’s getting there.

    That is a delicate balancing act for Puel to decide. Becuase we definately need another left back, and given the funds, he could get someone to replace Grosso, but then again, Grosso does have a presence with the squad.

    If Puel doesn’t find anyone from the reserves, I have my fingers crossed for Michael Kadlec, who actually wants to come to Lyon (I know, crazy, right?).
