My only quibble is the the author's description of Celestine Babayaro. He bombed in the MLS because he was a terrible player, as proven by his disastrous spell at Newcastle, and a writer with Grant's knowledge of the game and its players should know that, not cite his pathetic play on the Galaxy as evidence of the effects of frustration for international players coming to the league.

(Seriously, Babayaro was atrocious on his merits, not cause the hotel rooms werent nice enough for him)]]>
