Borini

[Foreigner]

Sky just announced that Borini agent has said he believes he will be staying at Liverpool.

The credibility of the quotes and where they came from is up in the air at the minute.

Borini wanted to drive up to Bishop Auckland when he got subbed today. Very good source.

Lol

 

[Pepe]

What's he said like?

Told by sources on Merseyside last night that Borini has been driving the move himself

Chris Young, man. His source the other day said we would have to wait until the end of the window to sign Borini.

I wonder why it took him a day to post that news.

in case anybody hasnt read this

Gus Poyet had this to say about the Borini deal: “What I can say is that we have agreed [a deal] with Liverpool, we are waiting for correspondence and then we move on from there. It’s clear the impact Fabio had last season. And we are going to spend that amount of money on a player that we know how much he can give us. He would be perfect for us. It’s an ongoing thing. We have done the steps that we needed to do properly, and now we are waiting. We want to do things the right way.”

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said: “He spent a really successful period with Sunderland last year, and it’s obviously a fantastic club. They’ve offered to buy Fabio and that’s where it’s at. There is an agreement between the two clubs, but nothing is agreed with the player as of yet. So at the moment he’s still very much a Liverpool player, but when that changes I’m sure you’ll be among the first to know.”

I understand people being a bit jittery, but that's very reassuring surely?

Both managers talking about when rather than if and good sources claiming the lad has been pushing for the move himself.

Soz just

got in, forget they run on an endless loop

Your post was word for word what started this thread an hour back.

Piss off and clue up Bindipper.

He's £8.5M rising to a maximum of £14M based on performance. If that £14M is reached he'll be a superstar.

He's right in fairness.

And why do people keep saying this, every media outlet is reporting it being £12m upfront and £2m on add ons, yet our fans insist on manipulating it to be either 8 or 10 upfront. We are overpaying, stop trying to justify it.

That's your opinion. The other transfer fees going about at the moment suggest you're completely out of touch.

whatever man. If he hadnt scored against the Mags the whole board would be up in arms about the fee.

Aye, I'd like to know where the £8.5m is coming from. The only thing I can find is a lot of the Borini articles mention Liverpool are buying Remy for that fee.

Compared to how much we paid for altidore graham socco and as far back in history as you like to look its a bargain

The Sunderland Echo is about the only paper with good sources at the club like, the club just tells them what they need to know

 

[AlpineExile]

whatever man. If he hadn't been the player he was last season the whole board would be up in arms about the fee.

Agreed.

What absolute horse shit.

 

[naughtynose]

Good I hope he does stop there and we use £14M on someone better.

Just seen this little gem

Compared to the Phillips deal and the Mignolet deal it looks terrible.

See, we can both use extreme examples to try and suit our agenda.

12m for Graham and Altidore makes this look like peanuts , you pay extra for quality and Borini has it in abundance , i still dont think he will come tho

 

[Shangri La]

What absolute horse shit.

Its absolutely 10000000% true. It is because of his derby goals and the fact he tries hard that people cream themselves over someone who, whilst a good player, wasn't even our best player in one of the worst (league) seasons in recent times, and are accepting this deal as some sort of bargain.

Theres a reason why the rest of the country and Liverpools fans are laughing.

12m for Graham and Altidore makes this look like peanuts , you pay extra for quality and Borini has it in abundance , i still dont think he will come tho

see my above posts. You've gone too the extreme end of the spectrum and picked our (arguably) two worst deals in the last 5 year.

 

[janey]

Pay a tadge over the top to make sure we get him, we have paid too much.
Refuse to pay a tadge over the top and he goes elsewhere, no ambition, Short is shite, we are skint, club should have done more.

 

[andymcnish]

Or we could just look at the most recent strikers signed by us as a fair comparison:

Gyan 13m
Wickham 8m
Ji 2m
Fletcher 12m
Graham 5m
Altidore 8m
Scocco 4m

Given his age and proven worth 12m for Borini is clearly in the right ballpark.
