I honestly haven't watched the guy play except once or twice. Reading about him, he strikes me as another Blind, someone who can play multiple positions and can read the game, nothing really extraordinary.

Do you think he can play in the PL? Will be much faster-paced.

He's not really a Blind - his 'multiple positions' are just LB and RB, talk that he's a serious option at CB (or anywhere else, really) is nonsense. I like Blind, but there's no risk of Darmian becoming a gifted filler-in like that; barring injury he'll be straight in as first choice RB and that'll be that.

He'll be well suited to the PL. Fast, pretty tough, and excellent stamina. You'll remember that when Italy beat England in the WC everyone was expecting us to be outplayed by the usual typically Italian Pirlo scheming etc, and in fact we were just blown away by directness and pace down their right wing - that was Darmian and Candreva, and that's the style that suits him.

Nice to see that he has landed! Weird route though, either he wanted to see the Peak District National Park or the pilot had to fend off unexpected heavy armed hostile aircraft. There's no way the pilot had to wait for a clear runway.

Yeah. You have to try and think of entering Redcafe during the summer as surfing - your sanity is the surfboard, and it's the only thing keeping you from drowning in waves of hysterical plane-tracking, shameless trolling and tinfoil-hat level paranoia. :)

Terrific, terrific this place is during transfer windows. Keep up the fantastic work lads. Tracking planes, making gifs, discussing tactics, pics from satellites - all this in one place full of Reds, Heaven!!!

Adidas officials will be fuming, one of their players signing for United being paraded in a Nike kit.
