it's a bit worrying that this guy's main attribute seems to be that he's a bigger cunt than suarez.
If this happens, Borini is surely a goner.
possible
borini can fuck off. he's shite and bores the fuck out of anything.
Shut up, Jon Fox !
i'm well up for it.
As long as they can actually play football. I remember Souness also buying a load of 'winners' who turned out to be plain old dickheads.
Me too.
It worries me that no one in real life seems to rate this dude.
We've been linked to alot of shitty players recently.
Liverpool set up Diego Costa transfer by triggering the Arsenal target's buy-out clause

Atletico Madrid won't stand in way of Brazil forward who scored 20 goals last season PLUS Ayre adamant Suarez is staying
Latte challenge: Costa in action for Atletico against Madrid rivals Real
The Anfield giants have made an official offer of £21.8millon - enough to trigger a buy-out clause in the forward's contract with his club, Atletico Madrid.
And the Spanish club's coach, Diego Simeone, has conceded he will not stand in the way of the Brazilian, after splashing out himself this summer on both David Villa and young Brazilian Leo Baptistao as replacements for £55m Radamel Falcao.
But while the Reds are now supremely confident of completing the deal for the forward boss Brendan Rodgers argues he needs to strengthen his squad, sources within the club insist it does NOT signal the departure of Luis Suarez.
MD Ian Ayre was at pains to point out earlier on Thursday that Liverpool are determined to hang onto the South American, and explained that Arsenal have NO chance of signing him, because a so-called release clause in his contract simply doesn't exist.
Costa enjoyed a stunning end to last season that earned him a call-up to the Brazil squad.
He made his debut against Italy in March, then faced Russia in a friendly staged in London.
It capped a remarkable season for the 24-year-old, who seemed to be heading out of Madrid when he suffered a serious injury in July 2011.
He was out for most of the ensuing season before being farmed out on loan to Madrid neighbours Rayo Vallecano.
However, he bounced back in style by scoring four goals in his first three games for Rayo, and hit nine in just 16 appearances before being hastily recalled to the mothership.
Ironically, Costa emerged as a summer target for Arsenal after netting 20 goals in 44 games last season.
He finished as top scorer in the Spanish Cup - where his goal in the final steered Atletico to an historic win over hated neighbours Real Madrid.
Liverpool will take great pleasure from stealing the Brazilian, who holds a Portuguese passport, away from Arsenal after relations broke down between the two clubs over the Suarez affair.
Ayre is adamant that, no matter who comes into the club, the Uruguayan will not leave.
He said: "He will not be going - "I'm sure he's going to stay.
"That's always been our intention and that's what we expect to achieve. It's not something we're interested in and, as our fans would expect, we rejected both.
"The player is not available for sale - that's where we are and that's where we'll stay."

@BumperGraham8mBut Diego#Costa has lots going for him. Liverpool are, for sure, interested and I could see him being a hit there. Lots of development left

@BumperGraham9mDiego Costa is aggressive, very hard working, physically v strong, sometimes headstrong. Needs to score more than his current average

@BumperGraham10mLots asking about Diego Costa. Two seasons ago I recommended him to a Premier League manager looking for a top striker. Lot to like in DC

Well people were saying we were too soft and needed a bit of metal .... looks like this could be one up front, Papa another in defence and then just need Masher back to replace Lucas to give us an iron spine.
He needs them to sling snots at people, the mucky shit! Still I'll start loving him as soon as he signs, God help us!
