MILAN, Italy -- Italy striker Pablo Osvaldo completed a loan move to Juventus on Friday after a troubled spell in England, while Inter Milan signed Brazil midfielder Hernanes from Lazio.
Eagles Jersey . "Im very happy," Osvaldo said of his return to Serie A. "Everything happened very fast and I still cant believe it ... Its been a hectic three or four days." Juventus has the option to buy the 28-year-old before May 31, for 19 million euros ($25.6 million). Osvaldo joined Southampton from Roma in August for a club-record 15.1 million euros (then $20 million). The forward scored four times for the Premier League club but was suspended for two weeks on Jan. 23 following a training-ground incident. Osvaldo was kicked out of the Confederations Cup squad last year for insulting his club coach at Roma in a breach of national team coach Cesare Prandellis code of ethics. Juventus is on course for a third straight league title and is six points clear of Osvaldos former club Roma -- its closest challenger. Another player also returned to Serie A on loan from the Premier League, with former Lazio defender Modibo Diakite signing for Fiorentina from Sunderland. Meanwhile, French winger Gael Kakuta moved to Lazio on loan from Chelsea. Hernanes left Lazios training ground in tears on Thursday, amid reports he was on the verge of signing for Inter. The 28-year-old midfielder -- who joined Lazio in 2010 -- had a medical at Inter on Friday before penning a four and a half year deal. Hernanes has scored two goals in 23 appearances for Brazil and helped his country to Confederations Cup success last summer. Earlier, Saint-Etienne defender Faouzi Ghoulam signed for Napoli until 2018. The 22-year-old Algeria international, who played for France at Under 21 level, made 87 league appearances in four seasons at Saint-Etienne. Ghoulam is Napolis third signing this month, following the arrivals of Jorginho and Henrique. Napoli also confirmed it allowed Pablo Armero to join Premier League club West Ham on loan until the end of the season. The club has also loaned out Paolo Cannavaro to newly-promoted Sassuolo, which has the option to buy the veteran defender at the end of the season. Cannavaro -- the younger brother of Italys retired World Cup-winning captain Fabio -- has been Napolis captain, but has struggled for playing time under Rafa Benitez. Sassuolo has signed goalkeeper Ciro Polito from Atalanta and forward Antonio Sanabria from Barcelona on permanent deals. Elsewhere, Roma signed Rafael Toloi from Sao Paulo on loan until the end of the season. Roma has paid the Brazilian club 500,000 euros ($700,000) for the loan and will pay a further 5.5 million euros ($7.4 million) if it decides to buy the defender in the summer. Roma also announced Marquinho has moved on loan to Hellas Verona. Several other deals are expected to be completed before the transfer window shuts on Friday night, with Lazios Hernanes having a medical at Inter Milan.

The California Kid loves fighting in his hometown, and hes bringing a whole bunch of his friends along with him when he takes on Michael McDonald.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Seantrel Henderson listens to his weaknesses from the NFLs pre-draft scouting report on the offensive tackle, and there are no signs of any discomfort or anger. "Underachiever traits," the report reads. "Suspect maturity, dependability and decision-making." The criticisms are nothing new. Henderson was dealing with them well before Buffalo selected him in the seventh round out of the University of Miami. "I dont really think about what anybody really said," Henderson said, referring to the pre-draft assessment. "I know who I am. And I know what I can do. And I know what I can be." Henderson is not hiding from the mistakes that sidetracked what had the makings of a promising career. Four years ago, he drew comparisons to NFL star tackles Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace, while being regarded as one of the nations top recruits coming out of high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, hes grateful to have a shot at playing professionally after acknowledging that marijuana use led to him being suspended several times at Miami, and also confirming he tested positive again for marijuana at the NFL combine in February. Henderson insists thats behind him. "I feel like in college, I had a lot of maturing to do, sir," he said during a three-day rookie minicamp that ended on Monday. "But at the same time, I have no regrets. Im happy where Im at. I wouldnt change it for anything, sir. Im happy to be here in Buffalo." Its in Buffalo where Henderson can begin focusing on whats ahead, while appreciating hes run out of second chances. "I know for a fact this is the last chance Ive got, sir," Henderson said. "Ive been through it all in my past four years at the University of Miami. And I know this is the last chance that Ive got to be successful. So I wont let it go." Henderson ends most every answer with "sir," a trait that dates to college. Whats new is the pat answer Henderson has begun to lean on when confronted with questions about how much he has to prove.
Sam Bradford Jersey. . "Ive got to prove that I can work as hard as any other guy here, be on time at all times and gain trust with the coaches," he said. "Being accountable, reliable and dependable does that." The Bills have been upfront with Henderson. "Weve talked to Seantrel, and he knows that hes got one shot," general manager Doug Whaley said. "Hes been dealing with some demons. Hopefully, those demons are out of his life. And why not give somebody -- this is America -- a second chance." At 6-foot-7 and 331 pounds, Henderson has the frame, skill and nimble footwork of someone capable of exceling at tackle. There were times at Miami where Henderson showed glimpses of his potential. He earned freshman All-American honours. Last year, he was credited with 10 blocks that resulted in touchdowns, and was invited to the Senior Bowl. And yet, there are the off-field concerns, some of which Henderson had little control over. In July 2012, Henderson mourned the loss of his best friend, Jordan Hughes, who was shot and killed in St. Paul. A few days later, he sustained a concussion after being involved in a car accident. In 2011, Henderson had surgery to repair a nagging back problem. Questions, however, have been raised over his passion for football. Bills coach Doug Marrone, a former offensive lineman, is keeping an open mind. "Its early. It really is. And for me, consistency is the thing. I think over a period of time well know," Marrone said. "There is no doubt that he can play. The problem is going to come into can he be consistent enough and disciplined enough and have the structure to be a pro." Henderson has plenty of reasons to be motivated, including his 2-year-old daughter and his mother. "I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I think about is my daughter and my mom, and these are people I feel that I have to provide for," Henderson said. "If I dont, then who else will?"
