Buffon to Arsenal?
By Trent | October 30th, 2006Every time I think of Gianluigi Buffon, I lament the fact that he has but one "o" in his surname. But that's my problem, not his. Anyway, hanging out in Serie B may not be as much fun as Buffon expected. Buffon, relegated Juventus' no. 1 and World Cup
