American owner set to buy Serie A club Bari

Just when you thought Oguchi Onyewu was the only American plying his trade in Serie A, now comes word that an American is ready to buy newly-promoted Serie A club Bari.

Texas-based and Connecticut-born business man Tim Barton revealed his plans to not only buy Bari, but also to bring in some American players to help boost the prospects of the club that handed Inter Milan an season-opening draw last weekend.
