He's played 70 times for Uruguay, 50 for Atletico, four seasons with Porto. He's still only 28. Looks quality in all the games I've seen him. What the hell has Gus said to him to convince him to come here!? Next level signing in my eyes.
Can't help but remain sceptical over getting a player who last season won La Liga and was a runner up in the CL at a club wh spent 95% of the season in the bottom 3.

Giaccherini was a Serie A winner and star of the Confed Cup. He made the jump so you just never know.
2 mins @SomISeremBarca It is already done, 'cebolla' RodrÃguez will be new Sunderland player. It is a matter of time to make it official. Splurt!!
Seems legit this one, and this is a ****ing top drawer signing. Decent left side, pace of VA and the trickery of the 'little onion'. I'm well informed that we are still after Alonso as well, very much so.
Everywhere I've been reading says so and his twitter picture is still an SAFC strip. I can't see that we've given up. Would be delighted if we had both competing. Can PVA play in a more advanced role?
Well, this is something I'd thought about, maybe he could, but then signing Rodriguez renders that a bit void. He could be an option in both positions.
Two attacking fullbacks and cover in alonso and vergini, nah! Couldnt be Just to add @Capt_Fishpaste If the players Sunderland are actively pursuing are Borini, Rodriguez and Rodwell, certainly can't question their ambition.
I actually believe he's had a medical city want £10m, haggling over salary, so not a loan, could be utter tosh, deffo the medical stacks up, seen that in a few places, yourself aswel iirc
Him, Alonso, Rodriguez, Vergini, a CB and a CM. Business done for me. Borini would be nice but starting to look like a luxury.
