Into the Milan frying-pan

Oguchi Onyewu signing for AC Milan is a great thing, isn't it? Never mind Alexi Lalas' stint at makeweights Padova; Gooch is the first Yank at a Serie A giant and one of the world's elite. A three-year deal expiring at the end of June 2012 is good news all round. I've seen a salary of $1.1million a year reported but don't quote me on that.
