Fabio Borini

[Jairzinho]

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

 

Zola did alright. Infact I'd take a player of Ravanelli's quality.

[Dr Nowt]

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

 

Too right, Vialli and Zola were fucking dogs.

[Guest ShoePiss]

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

 

Ravanelli, Vialli, Balotelli, Di Canio and then Zola chipping in with goals from attacking midfield too. I think they were successful in the prem. I bet there's been more French and Dutch flops.

Well rodgers knows exactly what he's gonna get from him having worked with him twice now. He's gone back to roma and done well and now he's gonna play for us. I think he'll do well as he seems to have that mentality, work rate and desire that rodgers is looking for in a player.

[Guest ShoePiss]

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.

 

That sounds like common sense. Careful.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Never seen him play a single game so i'll wait and see. Who knows how he will do. Fingers crossed.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

Have we even signed the fucker yet ????

SShhhhhh dont spoil there fun.

[Geraghty]

His celebration is interesting.

 

One of the most impressive performances I've ever seen at Anfield was Bellamy against City simply because of the work rate I always heard about how rushed defended from the front but never had the pleasure.Id seen it with Fowler and Owen but Bellamy was immense that night he never stopped once and tortured City all night

 

Reading up on him I think he is being brought it with that sort of the idea in mind,in videos he never seems to stop add a bit of talent in there and he could be good.

Why isn't Spurs hijacking this transfer?

They will.

[lebron]

Not overly excited, I have to admit. As others, I like that he'll be able to put some pressure on the opposition (as I think that's the way to go - i.e. press them high up the pitch). I have a sneaking suspicion though that he'll have a touch of Morientes about him, picks up good positions and is a good striker of the ball, but not quick or strong enough to get to the ball first in this league...

 

Hopefully we will add another attacking player with genuine pace, especially if the rumblings about Bellamy's departure are true. Even if that's not our main plan, we need some pace to burn on the counter to really hurt the opposition teams.

These sort of signings aren't too bad, i'd assume his wage demands aren't fucking stupid so, if he was a flop we'd be able to flog him to another Italian club for about £7m and wouldn't lose that much.

 

If he's as good as they think he will be £10.3 is a bargain. I'd rather do these kinds of gamble deals than £35m gambles.

[Nathanzx]

looks like there could be something in this link, Watch this space folks, it may not just be twitter bs

[BringbackBiscan]

Love how it's coming just out of the blue too. The media really haven't a clue what we're doing this summer..

[Saucepan]

What's up with the hand biting celebration?

[Guest ShoePiss]

Tony B mentioned it on Monday and other forums have had threads on it since then.

 

That LFC Boston lad said it's a done deal as he was told be John Henry.

[Alan Sex]

What have the Malaysians said about this?

Seems in Italy you have to publish contract details with Roma he was going to be getting 1 3/4m/year this year rising to 2 3/4m/year. So you would expect we're offering at least that. 50K+ for a guy who has played less than 50 professional games, not sure myself. But if that is the going rate what can you do.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I dont think Borini is a bad signing - in fact, it could be a very good one - and I think everybody should give him a chance.

 

But if this is seriously the player Rodgers was claiming would "have the fans excited", i'll be fucking pissed off and will look forward to a shite summer and another year trying to finish above Everton.

 

Dempsey isn't a terrible player, and at ~5m, somebody of his ilk wouldn't be a bad signing. Its unfortunate, though, that Dempsey himself is absolute fucking cunt who I wouldn't want anywhere near our team. Arrogant wanker. (I'm going to try and get in as many insults as possible before he inevitably signs and we all have to respect him, despite the fact that hes a cunt.)

He is the player he was on about, pretty sure about that.

[Alan Sex]

To the tune of the Addams Family

 

He's Fabio Borini

He's got a rudimentary peni

Which he doesn't cleanee

But he scores some goals

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I don't understand why he would think the fanbase would be excited about it? Because he has a foreign name? Because he has some talent?

 

Man we have fallen far. I'm worried that this our "star" purchase this summer. I remember the summer we signed Torres along with a 12m youngster. No Torres this year it seems...

[cartman]

Borini got some quality. Still remember he played against our reserve team back in 2010, and he was top class. Scored a couple of goals as well. I would actually compare him with Luis, they are both some nasty fuckers to play against. Clever on the ball, great finisher and smart runs. I think he'll be a great signing for us.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Done!
