We'd be lucky to get 7mill from anyone else for him. This is like Carroll with Newcastle all over again
Oh, you mean the shirts, tickets and tv subscriptions they buy to pay for Borini's transfer fee and wages. Those ones right?
Got engaged to a girl from Liverpool recently, didn't he? Probably her as much as him that doesn't want to go to Sunderland.
Oh wow. So we've spent a whole great deal as fans and that gives us the right to slag a player off ?
Hey if a player is behaving in a manner not exemplary of the class, prestige and heritage of this club, then sure, he deserves all the abuse.
But Borini has not done anything wrong or disrespectful, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt ok.
He clearly isn't. I would've lolled massively if gene had written that post though.
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet not worried about deal for Liverpool striker
DEAL STILL ON ... Fabio Borini.

GUS Poyet is still hopeful of landing £14m target Fabio Borini, despite the Italian attacker jetting off on Liverpool’s pre-season tour.
The Sunderland head coach confirmed at the weekend that the two clubs had agreed a fee, and the only thing that remained was for the player to agree personal terms.
And the fact that Borini then headed off to America with Liverpool rather than Sunderland with his agent sparked fears that the striker had turned his back on Wearside.
But speaking to reporters after Sunderland’s 1-0 win over Carlisle United at Brunton Park last night, Poyet was relaxed about the situation.
“I can assure you though that there is no disappointment on my part that it has not happened yet,” he said.
“It is normal.
“And with all respect to the media, they do not know everything that is going on.
“It is not for me to explain, but it is not just a question of Fabio wanting to come or not.
“There are many, many things to look at, and unfortunately I cannot comment on those.
“We are involved in negotiations, and you never know how long that can take.
“There’s nothing new to report as things stand, but we are still hoping to close the deal completely.”
The ball is now in the court of the player himself and his agent and the others they are negotiating with, but Poyet feels that a lot of things are in Sunderland’s favour.
“It’s up to Fabio,” he said.
“We have been clear, everything is fine, there’s no doubt about his connection with our club, and me and him get along fine, so there is no reason for it not to happen.”
“I would love to know how long it will take to sort out, but all I can tell you is that things are changing every day.
“We have targets that we are looking for, we have other options, but we have an agreement with Liverpool, and we will do everything possible to get Fabio to the club first.
“If Fabio does not come, it does not set us back, we would move on – we are not a one-player team.
“But I hope the fact that we are after players like him shows the quality of players that we are trying to bring to the club.
“It shows we are committed, and prepared to spend money.
“But now we are looking to move on with other players too because it is not just about one player it is about the whole squad, and there are other areas to look at.
“He’s a player that everyone wants to see, but our transfer work this summer is not just about one player, it’s about the squad, and there are other situations we need to work out.”
Poyet stressed though that the pursuit of Borini would not hold up Sunderland’s transfer work in other areas.
“Obviously things become clearer once we know what will happen with Fabio,” he said.
“But we are still able to progress in other areas and it is important that we do.”

A few days out with bruising acc to Rodgers
I'd be happy to see him as part of our squad next year as he impressed me at Sunderland leading the line at time.. He was superb in the League Cup Final against Citeh.
If we are in a position that we need to sell players, this would be an obvious candidate along with one of the CBs but if we do not need to sell then I think he is one of the better back up strikers we could get. Imagine if we were bringing him on instead of Aspas last season - things could have been different.

Way beyond sick....
Sick I know, but the child in me could not resist
Sack him, and Dalglish!
Papers talking about him going on loan for another season
I know some dont like Twitter but the Grinchen is gone so here goes:
@GraemeKelly1: All things now in place & agreed for Borini to complete his move to Sunderland. Medical completed when his shoulder is up to it (not long).
This lad knows his stuff. Said its from the same person that told him about Remys failed medical and the signing of the 3 L's.
Lets see.. Soz Fabs..

Has he left yet?
Don't think so. Poyet's seemed pretty confident all along that they'd eventually sign him.
No, dont think so. I'm guessing for the 12 mill + 2 add ons.
