Matteo Darmian (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtɛo darˈmjan]; born 2 December 1989) is an Italian footballer who plays for Torino and the Italian national team as a full-back.[1]

He began his career at A.C. Milan, making his Serie A debut at age 17, and in 2009 joined Padova, whom he helped avoid relegation from Serie B in his only season there. He then returned to Serie A with Palermo, and one year later, Torino.

Formerly a youth international from under-17 to under-21 level, Darmian made his senior debut for Italy in May 2014, and represented the nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Fulham have signed Jamie O'Hara on a free, thus slightly improving one of the only two positions that we didn't loving need to.

quote:

Roma are in discussions with Manchester City to buy Edin Dzeko for €20m (£14.1m), with the striker offered a five-year contract worth €4.5m a season.

Despite agreeing a fresh four-year deal last August the Bosnian again struggled to establish himself as first choice under Manuel Pellegrini last season. This has proved the pattern of his City career since joining from Wolfsburg in 2011 when Roberto Mancini was in charge.

The forward was unable to score consistently, enjoying only patches of his best form until the second part of the 2013-14 campaign when he scored 11 of his 16 league goals from late January onwards as the club won a second championship in three years.

€20m for a bit part striker. Madness.

Would be nice, but no one will pay that to City for a 29 year old striker.

€20m sounds about right to me. I bet he scores 20 league goals his first season in Serie A.

We did! Dybala, Llorente, Morata, Mandzukic and Zaza!

(Llorente is probably off to greener pastures)

This one is a bit weird because I think Juventus is just betting that they will want him later. They agreed with Sassuolo to a pre-determined fee last season when Sassuolo bought out Juve's half of him. If he continues the way he's going his value will only rise so I think Juve is buying him because they know they can get him for cheap and will probably end up loaning him unless he's content to sit on the bench.

He's needed a season long loan the last 2 seasons since he's not played nearly enough. 2 years lets the club get a fee if he's still not going to be good enough at Cardiff. Pardew was proper poo poo at managing the youth after talking them up all the time

Agreed, he's been stagnant for too long. Wonder if this means we've got someone lined up for the wing. Marveaux, like a new signing!
