Borini

[Kenna]

People saying it's shit because he only got 7 goals, try watching his games and watch how he was played, he was NEVER played as a striker, he was always used as a winger who kept swapping sides during the game with Johnson, 7 goals for a winger is good, if anything they should be noting his lack of direct assists to goals.

 

[Slippery Jim]

Unbelievable that some on here are twisting because we might, given future performances, pay £14M for a player who everyone was desperate to sign on a permanent deal.

If SSN are right and we've got him then thank Christ for that! He's worth the dosh!

 

[Mackemveli]

I agree the market is inflated, I just think that as a club who desperately needs 4/5 PL level players, spending £14m on one isn't good business.

We may have to rethink the PL experience plan given the inflated prices or rely on the loan market to add players with PL experience

 

[janey]

Couldn't give a shite about the fee, he fits, he works he wants to play. Oh and he smirked at Krul before breaking the net.

 

[safcpauluk]

Ooooo and yes worth another thread ....

This ones not like the others!

 

[Baccyboozenbullets]

Bought mine and the lads season tickets just to stare at the sexy beast. I won't tell him lyk as he'll tell his mar! And she's the jealous type.

 

[johnson]

So how many goals then? 7 like last season? Including 2/3 from penalties*?

We've had our eyeballs out man. Face it.

He played wide left, and got 10 goals for us, which helped us get to a cup final and got some all time classic league wins.

What the fuck are you on about, cheer up.

It's not your money, why do fans care so much about fees? has absolutely no impact on them, we will have a budget, and will have specific players targeted.

 

[Laidback Jack]

He never played as a striker last season apart from the Man City game, he was pretty much a winger and that record is good for a winger. We'd do well to get a striker to score 25 goals for 14 million.

I don't think he'd work as a lone striker at all, I hope i'm wrong.

 

[chopsfc007]

Absolutely superb news. Anyone who thinks they know better than the club about transfer fees has a far, FAR over-inflated opinion of themselves.

so nobody can ever comment on the price of any player then

 

[big les]

I don't really care about fee..Isnt my money,his money or your money,point is..Fabio's coming home!

 

[Fetch Fletch]

No, no it's no good, I've gone again!

He's not being bought to be a lone striker!

That's what it boils down to, the fact the scored the winner against the Mags. People are forgetting that for a lot of last season, Borini wasn't anything special.

you mean goals and 3or4 from open play isn't great

Not judging by some of our recent dealings.

 

[Laidback Jack]

So he's going to have someone up front with him in a 4-4-2? If he plays up top with Wickham it will work aye but he looks like he's off.

One of our best players who offered a lot to the side not just 10 goals from out wide not upfront

 

[bennett83]

Worth every penny, even when hes having a bad game he works hard and is a nuisance and is capable of a wonder goal. Didn't think we'd get him to be honest. Hopefully this is just the start

 

[TRobot]

well its not my money, but that is quite eye watering, sure I'll forget about it when he scores his first goal however.

the energy and drive the lad brings to the team is first class , his defensive work is hardly noticed ,at the same time we are not taking a risk on him we know what we are getting , exactly what kind of player do you expect for 12 million
