Always good to see dead wood leave the club.
He’s been a model pro but not played a lot of football for us. I’m all for cover, but he’s wasted enough of his career with us - I’m happy for him to go and hopefully get some games. If he is only likely to get a few games between now and the end of the season, then we don’t really need him - we can cover him with what we have.Stupid to get rid now. Sign a pre-contract and leave in the summer. We won't go bankrupt paying his wages for 6 more months, but he could provide some cover when our defenders inevitably go through their next round of injuries.
We fans so often say these sorts of things, but we also often lament footballers’ lack of loyalty to the club. We either have our cake, or we eat it.Always good to see dead wood leave the club.
Performing in the serie A is different to doing it in the prem. Not everyone can adapt to other leagues.Now watch him excel in that wing back role for them.
He's also been homesick for a while.He wasn't playing so it's just to get the salary off the books.
Sideburns.Shame it never worked out for him. Glad he got rid of the beard.
Yeh. I actually prefer Darmian to Dalot for that RB slot. He's more solid than Dalot who's far away of being ready.Prefered him this season to either Young or Valencia, so don't think this is a good move. For me it would have been Dalot Vs. Darmian for RB
I agree, he's more solid now. In games where we want to attack a lot we could go with Dalot and in tight games where we expect to defend down that side a lot, go with DarmianYeh. I actually prefer Darmian to Dalot for that RB slot. He's more solid than Dalot who's far away of being ready.
He's not a bad defender. He's a good defender.Watch him be amazing at Juve now.
Maybe becauseWhy loan? Sell him.
We get his wages off the books and Juve pay a fee to loan him. Then he can go earn a contract with them. Pretty silly to have him sat around waiting for chances the remainder of the season.fecking loaning players to fecking Juventus ask my bollox.
Should have told them to buy him or duck off
Who knows how he adapts, he was in team of the year in 2014-15 and 2015-16 before signing for ManUtd. Looks like he failed to adapt to the pace and intensity of the league.The idea that he will be amazing as a wing back for them I don't buy it. He is slow as a snail, and while the Italian league is a different animal, Juventus are playing a physical beast in Sandro at LWB, I don't think they would be satisfied with Darmian at RWB. I think they might try him more in the RCB role in which he might be more useful.
Yes you have a point, and frankly I hope he does good for himself and gets a move to a top side. The fact that Juventus came back several times for him, tells us that they rate him.Who knows how he adapts, he was in team of the year in 2014-15 and 2015-16 before signing for ManUtd.

Just watching his ManUtd games, it's hard to see him getting any game time for Juventus but checking his achievements in Serie A, maybe there is a chance. Few players are good in a league and very poor in other leagues.
And also he is plays well and Juventus don't take the option then you will always other good teams lining up for him. Hopefully that happens, plays well for Juventus and signs for other teams for good money.Yes you have a point, and frankly I hope he does good for himself and gets a move to a top side.

Is the 4m price reported correct? If true, I don't think Juve would pass and not get him for that if he does remotely good. Either way, we must plan for our own RB problem and Darmian should stay in the past.And also he is plays well and Juventus don't take the option then you will always other good teams lining up for him.

Same here, thought he was pretty decent but Ive no doubt that Juve will suit him better and he will have a grand old time there. No ill wishes towards him, will fondly remember his tackle in the box in the Europa League final.He's not a bad defender. He's a good defender.
I don't get where the idea came from that he's a bad defender.
4 million Euros was the reported fee but Fabricio Romano reported it was 2.6 million loan fee + 7.1 million fee to sign.Is the 4m price reported correct?

That's not so bad is it?4 million Euros was the reported fee but Fabricio Romano reported it was 2.6 million loan fee + 7.1 million fee to sign.
It's not pad. Around 10 million for a player who barely plays and have only 1 year of contract.That's not so bad is it?
I'm more sceptical about Juve buying him now, though.
Freeing up a place on the bench for some youngster is good enough for me, to be fair.It's not pad. Around 10 million for a player who barely plays and have only 1 year of contract.
Btw initial reported 4 million was just a loan fee.
Just playing for Juventus will make him good choice for lot of Serie A teams.
Agreed that he's not bad. But it does say something that the guy hasn't been able to knock freaking Valencia off the RB position under 3 different managers in the 4 or 5 years he's been here. Valencia is the worst RB out of the top 6 clubs by far imo too.He isn't bad player , the fact that Juventus , a superior team than us interested in him prove it.
Yeah that one too. We have used 24 slots already, without registering players like Rashford. So it makes sense to offload all the players who barely plays or not good enough. It's very important as we need more additions next season.Freeing up a place on the bench for some youngster is good enough for me, to be fair.
Good fecking riddance.
First two responsesBeen a model pro. Wish him well.
I'm sure other will follow. Keeping hold on some of our deadwood has been a problem for a long time. Rojo, Valencia, Jones, Fellaini and Young all need to be shipped out for one reason or another, by the summer at the latest in my opinion.Yeah that one too.
