"don't know much about the lad as I haven't followed italian FOOTBALL for years now."

Aye, it's just not the same without Football Italia

Golazo!!!

This is the lad in action

Byram was seriously injury prone last season and we need someone with a bit of quality to play there without any fuss. I think he'll be squeezed out personally. Doukara can play right wing too

For a second I thought this was the Berardi that was on loan from Juve last season

Looks a bit static

I did a week or so ago, I googled the wrong one
Still, as Leeds fan this lad is certainly a positive move for the club.

Best post ive seen on here for quite sometime, superb

Tony FFS!! The hock will sharpen him up

I reckon he'll be running the 100 metres in ten minutes by Christmas

Tony

Excellent news.

I'm sure It won't be enough for some on here.......

Bloooody hell! Another positive move.

The drearies must be devastated

Byram only played 24 games last season in the league, and never really hit the same form that we saw from him in his debut season.

Good to get someone in that can challenge with him for that spot.

Remember that Byram is only 20 as well.

Stoopo

Let's hope so. They might be quiet for an hour.

Berardi has only palyed 5 games in 20 months too - maybe they will be fighting for a place on the bench?

TMT - don't let the facts get in the way will you. He actually made 5 appearances last season and as far as I know a season is not 20 months long in Italy.

"The following season in Serie A, despite stiff competition from Italian international Lorenzo De Silvestri, Berardi made 21 appearances in Serie A during the 2012/13 season.

However, with Sampdoria appointing Siniša Mihajlovic in charge in November 2013, Berardi lost his place in the team and only made 5 Serie A appearances during the 2013/14 season."

Here you go stoopid - are these facts clear enough for you?
