4 goals from open play in the league. I hope we sign him and I wouldn't mind us overspending, but he's not a world beater and no one will pay 12m so we should get him for 8-9m.

This is true, he scored vital goals but a lot were pens like

Fans shouldn't forget this.
 
He still has to put them away

How many pens did le tissier score out of the many goals for Southampton

f***ing sweet Jesus :rolleyes:

Woah mate, I am desperate to sign him, as many others are, just lets not get carried away about how good he is.

Isn't it nice to have someone that can score pens? They aren't a given you know.

Sign him - baffling how some people are saying otherwise

His handsomeness must count for something? And his mega bird.

Gardner, Ki, Johnson all good penalty takers. It's not like there's only a select league of players who can score from the spot.

Two of which aren't here. I'm just saying its nice to have a confident penalty taker - makes a big difference IMO
 
Let's think about worth right now.

Here's probably the best way to get a ballpark figure for a players value. What was their contribution like to their team last season? Borini was MASSIVE for is last year, he, Wickham, Johnson, Catts and Vito kept us up and got us to the final, he's easily worth £10million to us, Liverpool know that, they also paid £12m for him as well as knowing what his potential is, Borini is most certainly worth £10-£13 million right now, give it a month a his value might drop as other players similar to him pull it out the bag down in Brazil! Values change almost every week!
 
I would say he is worth £10mill, but if we paid the £12mill, then so be it. Its not my money and there is little risk involved imo. We know what he's like, no settling in needed and he's still young enough, that we wouldn't lose out if we sold him. When you look at the money wasted on altidore, graham and the likes, at least this is proven quality for a club like ourselves.

It's nice to have one in Borini, but it doesn't make that much of a difference. Johnson could take the spot kicks, Gomez can take one and we're in the market for other players two.
 
The Borini hype machine is getting out of control.

He is a decent player, who had a good season in a struggling side.

People are going on about him as if he is world class man, it's verging on weird.

Not worth over £10m either
But he scored against Newcastle and at Wembley....

He's a good player but I think people are getting carried away. His work rate is fantastic and his movement off the wing is exactly what we need but his decision making in the final third is poor. I'd like to sign him but I wouldn't be gutted if we didn't.

Liverpool overpaid and they know they'll have an unhappy player on their hands if he doesn't get regular games. I can see this dragging on all summer.

Has noboby thought that this figure that Liverpool are meant to have paid for Borini (10m-12m) not realise that this will be the final amount after caps and appearances etc. Which will mean we can do the same ie pay about 8m upfront with addons.
