So Borini played for Liverpool today (dodgy) and his agent says he wants to stay at the scoucers (even more dodgy). I hope everyone hasn't counted their chickens before they have hatched!

Look, he was a good player for us last season but is 7 goals really enough return for 14million, and which half were pens, I for one don't think so. I like the lad but I do think there are better more prolific strikers out there which 14million would be a snip.

If we do get Borini, however, we really need to sign some more creative attacking midfield to compliment his style and maybe he can prove me wrong. let's hope so.

I'm 50/50 with this

If we are paying 14m for him to play as a left Midfeild he is not worth it, but if he is to play up front he is completely worth it, he is so dangerous in the box, he scored in 1 in 5 shots and a lot of them shots were from outside the box
Not to mention we were 20th for most of the season
As a striker, he would get us +15goals a season, but if he is a winger I would prefer us to get someone like that Rodriquez fella from Atletico Madrid that we are looking at

I know were after alonso but with Tottenham in for the swansea left back where does that leave danny rose?

Borini has refused to come to Sunderland. He wants to earn himself a place in the Liverpool side. I honestly think we should move on as e has said he doesn't want to come twice. So try and go for another striker. He ain't worth 14 mill tbh. Any thoughts on other strikers?

There's also been talk from them that he does want to come & is pushing the deal through, I don't believe either, also he scored 10 for us, 7 in the league 3 in the league cup.

As for the 14mil, it's supposed to be a lot lower with lots of extras added on paid back over a few years which isn't as bad, if he scores another 10-15 this season he'll be more than worth it.

That being said, he's not the only winger/striker in the world & there's only so much time left before the season, hopefully we've a plan b & c never mind d, e & f.
