From fifa webpage
Italy international midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini has joined English Premier League side Sunderland in a â‚¬9m deal from Serie A champions Juventus, the Italian club's coach Antonio Conte said.

"I'm not happy about Giaccherini's departure but with this â‚¬9m we can take Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente, " Conte said in reference to funding the deals for the club's two high-profile new strikers.

Giaccherini rarely figured last season for Juventus, but was part of the Italy squad at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup where he scored twice.

The 28-year-old will link-up with fellow Italian, Paolo Di Canio, the coach of Sunderland.

Juve are laughing all the way to the bank.

9 million for a useless sub they wanted rid of anyway.

No spring chicken either, he will be worthless when his 4 year contract runs out.

And all that for a guy that is 5ft6 and will get bullied out of the game by the likes of Huth & Cahill next season.
{Ed024's Note - Worthless in 4 years - my, I bet that was a huge consideration when bidding for an established Italian international player. Have you eaten your words over Altidore yet ? Looks with Peruzzi's coming to so might be a double helping of humbe pie !}

And some sour grapes with that humble pie SGB

Mate, just to put it simple
Go on YouTube, you will see that he bullies defenders
Did you see him in the confederations cup, fantastic against Brazil and Spain

Just so you don't say that it only shows his best bits, well he is an extremely consistent player, he literally doesn't stop running

Wonder what Steven Taylor thinks of Giaccherini?

17.) 12 Jul 2013
They are in for Bent, it makes you laugh at the double standards.

18.) 12 Jul 2013
Well if he can easily beat the defenders in the Italian league, I think he'll be aÅ‚rite against the Steven Taylor's

19.) 12 Jul 2013
Steven Taylor, ha ha ha, the Keystone Cop defender running around bumping into his mates and tripping up all over his penalty area, oops, just showered the wife with tea through laughing.
