[Photo: MK Dons]I'll be back with Who likes goals? later, but before I forget... American striker Jemal Johnson put on a sublime show Saturday, netting a pair of stunners to open and close MK Dons scoring in a 5-3 win at Cheltenham that busted a four-match winless slide. What's more, the former Blackburn man rounded out a massive performance by teeing up two of Aaron Wilbraham's three strikes.
I will certainly look for a clip with any of this, but don't hold your breath. Naturally, MK Dons subscribers can see the full highlights (UPDATE: Video has surfaced)!
And yes... his boots are pink.
UPDATE: Since he will also be in League One, and I don't have some great big deadline day American transfer post to make (sadly), I'll mention here that former Duke striker Mike Grella has signed a deal with Leeds United through the end of next season.

There you go Greg. The first goal was ridiculous but if that was him on the left wing sending in the cross that led to the second, I'm doubly impressed.
that was a blast
He looks like beasley reincarnated but with a rocket of a shot! How has he dropped from Blackburn to Wolves to League One Greg? The only thing i can think of is attitude problem?
Thanks, Jordan.
I've heard nothing about that, Micah. Who knows how they do things in England.
I mean... Titus Bramble remains in the Prem.
Greg --
Leeds announced the Grella signing is actually 18 months, as opposed to the original 6 month bigsoccer rumor:
"The 22-year-old was already being monitored by a number of English scouts and has attracted interest from a number of clubs in the Coca-Cola Championship.
...
Mike, who has represented the USA at both under-18 and under-20 level, has signed an 18-month contract with United."
The Colaship club rumored to be interested in him was Brighton according to Leeds message boards

Yup, which is why I posted it was "through the end of next season". :D
Oh my bad -- I thought it read 6 months initially
no love for Jon-Paul Pittman Greg? jk, a move to League 2 isn't exactly the greatest news there is. word from big soccer is Lee Nguyen scored another hat-trick.
