Torino president Urbano Cairo has fired a parting shot at new West Ham signing Davide di Michele.

"I tried to get him to stay until the end," the Granata chief bellowed. "I asked him to give me one quality championship.

"However, David showed himself to be ungrateful for what I did a year ago when we bought him in spite of the shadow of suspension.

"From the start of pre-season he hasn't shown the good faith we did and he has skipped an incredible number of training sessions for vague reasons, including a headache.

"He didn't behave like a real professional and so with a heavy heart I decided to sell him."
