Fabio Borini

[King Emlyn]

Yet another atrocious signing.

[Trumo]

Having now joined Sunderland permanently, he had this to say:

 

"I am delighted to be back at Sunderland. It is a club I know really well from my time here previously.

 

“It will be emotional for me to play at the Stadium of Light again and I can’t wait to get back on the pitch as a Sunderland player.”

 

 

So keen was he for a return to Sunderland that he waited all summer for a Serie A club to come in for him, and when it became obvious that Liverpool would rejected their offers because they were shit and the only other serious Premier League offer was from Watford, he had to accept a deal with Sunderland instead at the end of the transfer window. 

 

I'm pretty certain that he's not a trouble-maker and that his attitude to training was always to give it his best, but he was never good enough for where we needed to be. It's telling that he does the business every time he gets loaned out yet is never trusted when he's a full-time member of a squad. We'll see if that trend continues with Sunderland, whom he might have played for before, but not under the current manager.

[ZonkoVille77]

Can't believe it's actually happening. I'm devastated.

[King Emlyn]

Abysmal player, getting 10 million for this jabroni Is fine business indeed.

[an tha]

He isn't very good but probably not as bad as he was for us.

[Gym Beglin]

Borini will score more PL goals at Sunderland than Origi and Ings combined.

[cloggypop]

Finally we get to see his great movement.

[King Emlyn]

Borini will score more PL goals at Sunderland than Origi and Ings combined.

Given that neither of them will play and Borini takes pens I dare say you are right. Doesn't alter the fact that he is absolutely shite.

Shit signing in the first place from Bren "he'll excite the fans" Rodgers, but we're just replacing one unremarkable striker who won't play in Borini for another in Ings. 

 

If we can get £10m from Borini for a Premier League club we could have got decent money for Lallana or Lovren this summer to try and rectify the fuckwittery of wasting £45m, but the arrogant wanker wants to prove a point at our expense. 

[mouse1989]

I'm just amazed that Rodgers first signing was sold before he was sacked.

[Mathewbet1]

[Grinch]

The ten million will pay for Ings. Just another pointless roundabout that is the LFC transfer circus.

[G Richards]

Borini will score more PL goals at Sunderland than Origi and Ings combined.

 

Yes, but Origi and Ings don't play for Sunderland!

[Dr. J]

_{Ciao, Fabio. Hope you score lots of goals against our rivals.}

Well Sunderland have already played Swansea so that's one chance gone already.

[ZonkoVille77]

Ouch.

[G Richards]

This is a good move all round. I'm convinced Borini is better than what he managed to show here, but at the same time he is nowhere near good enough for us. Given the money in the game now, 8M plus 2M with add ons is about right. 

 

Balotelli is a better player than Borini but unfortunately he is also a bit of a headcase. With the Euros coming up hopefully he bothers to remember he's a footballer. If he does we might yet get a fee next summer, but it will be modest.  

[Section_31]

Have never had that much of a downer on Borini, he's pretty average but better than Balotelli and Lambert.

[Dr. J]

How many people are hoping he's shit for Sunderland so we don't look stupid for playing him all of 392 minutes last season?

[Harry Hole]

Thanks for the memories, Fabio.

[TheHowieLama]

Yeah, YNWA, RIP

[El Rojo]

First Carragher, then Suarez, then Gerrard, now Borini. Depressing times.

[Dr. J]

69 pages on him?! Relative to minutes played has to be a record.

 

 

Well Sunderland have already played Swansea so that's one chance gone already.

 

Patience, Hodgo recalled Shelvey, sure to ruin him.

[Kevin D]

Oh you with your werdz!!

 

If you cant stand the heat then dont cook anything you cant leave to burn in ten seconds flat, you can stand there finding fault, fiddling while de niro burns his mole off his chevy chase lest to make quicker his escape

I wouldnt want to take up resources that could be of use to Fabio Borini for it is him whom seeks that which is proffessional help or else would he not be better to stop playing?

 

I mean Im happy for him to play fourth striker behind Werzl Sturgeon Sturridge Gummage and Luis Chewish Suarez and Ricky 'smokin ten' Lambert Im willing to comprehensively revise compromise with this but it wouldnt matter, I think even as a ten game a season player, we could do better, I think theres more purpler beetroots out there if we really want to make a stain on the cleansheets.

Fair point.

Rodgers first signing,  He peaked early
