Fabio Borini

[moof]

Bout time the lad has his own thread.

 

He's going to be a great player for us.

[Funkasy]

Rock this thread!

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

If it is £12m, it's steep, but it's eclipsed by some of the fees we paid over the last 18 months. I think he'll do well. Really pleased to see young, talented players like him being sought out.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Like him personally, hope he's a big success here.

[Frankenhooker]

Italian press are saying it's 13m Euros, which is about £10.3m.

[Strontium]

Not good enough. Will, unfortunately, flop.

 

You heard it here first.

[withnail71]

Have we even signed the fucker yet ????

[Reckoner]

I think he'll be great for us. I mean I've never seen him play but I have been drinking.

[Gym Beglin]

He's deffo got character.

Italian lad training in the Chelsea youth team, bosses it.

Sent to Swansea on loan, nails it, doesn't complain.

Flogged to Roma/Parma, owns it.

Scoring goals at a club like Roma, that's not an easy place to go either, bit like here. But he's not fazed, just does it.

[kalasoma]

Now, I'm not sure if that means the transfer fee is 'agreed' and personal terms to be discussed. But I'll be certain when he's pulling into Melwood for a medical.

[Mathewbet1]

He's either going to be really really shit or really really good.

 

Fabio Borini he drinks Lambrini........

He came from Roma to give us Goals

When he scores them, we adore him

please don't take my fabio away

[withnail71]

Not heard a thing from Dave Whelan yet, so i dont believe it.

[Gym Beglin]

“Fabio’s a wonderful talent. I tried to get him earlier on in the season, but hopefully people will see why I have brought him in now. I remember him at 16 when Chelsea took him in from Bologna. I knew that he had a special talent.”

[DooooodekNo5]

Saying hes going to be great for us is based on nothing but wishful thinking , i hope he is but no-one really knows.

[Anubis]

Are we there yet?

[BringbackBiscan]

He's going to score 30 goals next season.

 

*unless another club steals him before us, in which case he's shit.

[Heinze]

Have Spurs put in a bid?

[Randy Marsh]

Know fuck all about the lad, therefor I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do and hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'd much rather take a chance on a kid like this than paying double for some British no mark like Darren Bent who we'd probably have went for in the past couple of seasons. I'll trust the managers judgement, and havin worked with him twice before he will know him more than most and know if the lad is cut out for it.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Please be fucking brilliant.

[Funkasy]

He will take us by storm just like Torres his first season.

[Red Banjo]

Worst pound for pound signing in the history of ever. Sack the manager

 

 

 

 

 

Incase this is lost on some, i jest - obviously

[Guest ShoePiss]

Actually thinking about it I'd prefer that he's just plain shit rather than being teased over the next few years. I really don't want to have to go through another Ryan Babel situation. Of course, being 'fucking brilliant' is the preferred option.

[Strontium]

I'm sure he'll follow in the footsteps of all those other Italian strikers who've been successful in the Premier League.

[Red Banjo]

Surely talent is the the determining factor, over nationality.

 

Using previous Italian failure's as a yard stick isn't the ideal set up seeing as the Premiership currently has the Italian national teams no 1 striker in it.

[lamai]

Saying hes going to be great for us is based on nothing but wishful thinking , i hope he is but no-one really knows.

 

Is the correct answer, looks like he can score goals and is what we need. Just hope he can be a success.
