Emanuele Giaccherini

The just don't like us..

 

Jia-carn-ne

Say it fast.

 

Because the entire 10 minute transfer slot was taken up with Man U intersted in Fabregas. Nothing else matters

 

Appaz it will be official tomorrow.

 

Well, that and QPR and an old Irish crock.

 

@SAFCsource: Emanuele Giaccherini has signed for Sunderland but will not be officially announced until tomorrow. http://t.co/o0qk4aeiMd #SAFC

Will be announced tomorrow lads by the looks of things. Joint unveiling with Peruzzi perhaps?

 

Correct - according to the Italian I work with

 

Perhaps triple with Mavrias.

 

He is training with the lads right now.

They've also released it to local press, apparently, but I was on my way back from Hartlepool when the news was on so didn't see if it was announced. Anybody??

Sky Sources: Sunderland to sign Italy forward Emanuele Giaccherini in next 24 hours. #SSN

 

Dammit has he signed or not!!!! The suspense is killing me!!!

 

This must be the longest transfer rumour player link in history!

 

A brilliant player and a brilliant signing.

 

Is it? Has he? Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!

 

Sky sources are reporting that Sunderland will sign Italian international Emanuele Giaccherini from Juventus within the next 24 hours.

The 28-year-old, who can play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder, is believed to have joined up with the Black Cats at their training camp near Lake Garda in Italy so that he can have a medical and complete the deal

It was reported last Thursday that Juventus had somewhat reluctantly accepted an offer of around £8.5m from Sunderland for Giaccherini.

The former Cesena man, who has 14 Italy caps to his name, wants regular first-team football, which he is not assured of at Juve.

Juventus' general manager Giuseppe Marotta said last week: "In Giaccherini's transfer to Sunderland, the will of the player had priority over the club's.

"Emanuele evaluated, not only the economic aspects, but also the standing he will have at Sunderland, and it was a challenge he decided to accept. We have gone along with his wishes."

Sunderland have had a busy summer so far, having already signed Jozy Altidore, El-Hadji Ba, Cabral, Modibo Diakite, David Moberg Karlsson, Vito Mannone, Valentin Roberge and Duncan Watmore.

Meanwhile on SAFC.com - there's no mention of the deal!!!!

I think it looks like it'll happen today - all evidence suggests that - I just hate it when everywhere except SAFC have the announcement

 

Relax 'We are going to build a very, very good team, with a very good work ethic.' - Paolo Di Canio

 

Aye I know - but he still hasn't signed on SAFC.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Today sometime - they will probably do the same as Jozy Altidore and announce it at 7pm

 

So he's there training, the local press are all over it, why not SSN then?
