Italian international signs up.

Sunderland have completed the signing of midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini from European giants Juventus.

The 28-year-old Italian international has signed a four-year deal at the Stadium of Light.

Giaccherini joins Paolo Di Canio’s Sunderland having enjoyed significant success during his time with Juventus.

He won the Italian Serie A title twice whilst with the club, first in 2011-12 and then again last season.

The attack-minded midfielder, who can play in the middle or out wide, has been capped 14 times for his country and featured twice at Euro 2012 as the Italians finished as runners-up.

He also featured for the Azzurri in the recent Confederations Cup tournament in Brazil.

Giaccherini began his career with Cesena and had loan spells with Forli, Bellaria Igea and Pavia.

He moved to Juventus in August 2011 and made 40 league appearances for the club, scoring four goals before making the move to Wearside.

To my mind he's overweight and unfit...

To my mind he is the one who wanted to leave and now he is complaining about not being first choice or wanted by the club? Idiot. Hope he doesn't come to Arsenal, too expensive for such few years left at the top of the game. Even fewer if his fitness doesn't improve. :dozey:

following Rooneys transfer request Utd said they wont sell, he has a future at the club and has records hes close to achieving.

Arsenal will bid 1million.

I'm a little worried now. a fair few people said many clubs (not Arsenal) were not making movements because of this deal, Chelsea, Real etc. were after Cavani but now this is done will we see Chelsea, Real etc. go after the players Arsenal are linked with. From the noises you would think its Higuain to Arsenal, Rooney to Chelsea and Suarez to Real Madrid.

Don't forget over-rated and overpaid as well Cobby.

Mata + £10 million is a good deal!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Rooney scores 3 past Man United if he goes to Chelsea, mark my words ;)

If I was being benched in big games i'd probably want to leave too.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Chelsea would be foolish to let Mata go as he was their best player last season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Or he could do a Torres :D

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Hell no, i dont want him at out club. Would rather take Heskey for Rooney than Torres

I meant arrive with high expectations but then be incapable of hitting a cow's rear end with a banjo...

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This is depressing. Mata should of been in Arsenal colours :(

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Chelsea are denying a player-swap was part of the offer. So £10 million for Rooney? On yer bike Jose.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Presumably that figure was also wrong.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Maybe it was but also a test of United's intentions. They've reiterated that he's not for sale but if they'd replied saying the amount is derisory then that would have suggested they'd sell him for the right price.
