Not against his capture. He surely was one of the top fullbacks in Serie A prior to his departure to Premiershiit and even if his development stalled there, we seem to have this magical power to revive careers. Him or DeSciglio is satisfying enough for a squad/rotational player, not for a starter though.
Also would prefer if Beppe works for his specialty and manages to get him on loan with option, but not obligatory option, to buy at the end of the season. Even if the reports say Jose M doesnt want to sell him, I dont buy it and I am pretty sure come 1st of September Darmian would be in a different team and different league...
A good option, but nothing to be excited about. The starting RB should be of higher level. Cheers!
