He a greedy player NOOur priorities are central midfielder and a striker if we get rid of Fletcher and or Graham.
Borini isn't good enough to play as a central striker and therefore I'd say he's no longer a target for us.
Oh and he also made it abundantly clear last year.......
HE DOES'NT WANT TO COME HERE
I know - but we have the left sided attacker position covered with Lens. It's not that Borini and Lens couldn't play in the same side - but we don't need both.

nothing to prove he would be better than defoe mindnonsense twice IMO.
he would be the best striker at the club if he joined, would also be the best wing/forward at the club [no idea how lens will fit in, but he was more effective than johnson] so would get into the side every week.
also he didn't want to come here ahead of liverpool or someone of the roma/juve/inter quality. can't blame him. think he might be interested in coming here ahead of leicester/villa though.
definitely should be testing their resolve if true.

We have enough strikers who don't score enough. Given a full season upfront I'd back Defoe, Wickham and even Fletcher to outscore Borini tbh.Granted he's not but he'd improve us we don't have the coin to bring in someone prolific, an if this Swansea link is not an April fool, for 3 million we would be getting a good player.
Exactly, we've been dog shit for ages now, so dog shit that players would pick Stoke, Swansea, Villa etc. Borini would be a very good signing

Take away his pens and his record was worse than Wickhams from the wing last season.Was his score record any better than Wickham, never mind Defoe?
Haway man, 'best striker'![]()
7m loss......dodged....Being offered to Leicester and Villa at 7 mill according to sky sports gossip
Surely if we offered him a contract he'd come to us over that shite. No brainer really, quality with a great work ethic, and scores goals
Same here.I never said he was shit, just that he does not want to play for us. I thought after last season's farce trying to sign him that everyone should move on and forget about him.
It's all about opinions but in my view even Poyet, who at times seem to fawn over Borini like a schoolgirl with a crush, didn't seem convinced Borini could play up front. He had ample opportunity to give him a strikers role and always used him wide left.

And the club wasted the whole of last years summer transfer window chasing him.
We did like, the 500+ threads on here would back this upThey didn't though. He turned us down, we tried to sign Christian Rodriguez, Vargas and someone else I forgot and ended up spunking the money on Rodwell. Borini was still up a for a loan, Liverpool weren't but wanted him off the books. We then still pursued it believing he'd end up moving one way or the other.
