Sunderland AFC News And Banter Page 6 mins · Sunderland star set to ruin Man Utd's £32m move for Fiorentina's Juan Cuadrado MANCHESTER UNITED'S attempts to land Fiorentina's Juan Cuadrado could be scuppered by a surprise factor in the shape of Sunderland winger Emanuele Giaccherini. Unfortunately for United, the 29-year-old has no intention of leaving Wearside, adding that he is determined to prove himself in Poyet's new-look side. He told fiorentina.it: "Fiorentina have followed me in the past but I have never had concrete contact. "I'm happy at Sunderland. I have three more years on my contract. "I'm enjoying this experience in England and this season I hope to do better than last year. I completed a full pre-season and the coach knows me better now. "A future in Fiorentina? Florence is a city I love, I was born 50km from Florence. If there is a possibility in the future, why not?"
They would be absolutely mental to not go for Cuadrado over ****ing Giaccherini. Cuadrado is a real talent and definitely a real special player.
Quite old news that Fiorentina were after Giacc, I'd be surprised if it had any bearing on the transfer of Cuadrado. Fiorentina are savvy enough to know that after a great World Cup, his price is inflated, he's a £20million tops player, so they will sell regardless.
Aye, we have no ****ing chance of Cuadrado man, nor do United I suspect, but the story is that they won't sell without replacing. It's bollocks, now that Barca's transfer ban for next 2 windows is confirmed, he'll be there by the end of this one!
I thought it was saying Man Utd were calling off their transfer pursuit of Cuadrado and going for Giaccherini instead
Emanuele Giaccherini claims to be happy at Sunderland amid talk of a return to his native Italy at Fiorentina. The Italy international admits to having been targeted by the Florence-based outfit in the past, but is unaware of any interest in the current transfer window.
