Fabio Borini

36 goals (29 prem) in the last two seasons for Fulham not float your boat?

I know I know the stats are decent. I just don't like him. I'm being a little irrational. I feel I should be moaning about at least something.
 
£11 million is cheap if he does the business, these days you pay that for second division prospect
 
Dempsey is no Aguero or RVP but he is a fox in the box and has brilliant movement. He'll be ace for us.

Forget his age or price tag and remember his goals.

I just don't like the idea of blowing a decent amount on a 29 year old player that has basically had one good season mate.

If he signs then lets all hope he can produce that form for us.
 
Borini is Big money to be spent on a ***nobody***

Who at the start of summer knew about this guy.

Hoping it's like wenger finding viera

I knew about him. Some chelsea fans I know we're pissed off he went for so little as they thought he was good enough to play more.

Big money though
 
Wait a minute. For season upon season we've moaned about not picking up new up and coming players before their star rises and their price becomes prohibitive. Now we're paying £10m for a player who was regarded as one of the few bright sparks for Roma last season and whose goals per minutes on the pitch ratio was only bettered by Ibrahimovic and Di Natale. There's just no satisfying some people. Then again, it seems some just have to have something to moan about.

Miss's the point
 
It's a good return, but how many strikers have had good returns for small teams and moved to a big team, and then struggled?

Loads, but I think we'll be paying about 7m for him and I'm ok with that.

He's better than what we've got. Getting Borini and Dempsey for Carroll sounds interesting to me.

If it's 7 million, i'm ok with it ... but that's max fee imo before it starts 'pushing it.' I still have hopes for one of those talented Dutch kids (Nasringh, Strootman etc)
 
A mobile Borini and Dempsey for a static Carroll is a fair trade considering the type of football we aspire to play. However, with Carroll gone where is the plan B?

Plan B is our new number 12, Dani Pacheco. Looks like he's staying.

I just don't see it. Barca and Arsenal spring to mind who have run out of ideas without plan B when plan A doesn't work. Admittedly, its been a rare occassion.

Pacheco is no plan B
 
Hmmmm. Lambert did like him. I'd rather give him a go. I'm annoyed I still have faith in him
how so?
I was a huge PAcheco supporter before but I can't really judge him when he never really got the chance to play for the first team. He was immense for the reserves.
 
I think Borini will be a fan favourite. Still can't get excited about Dempsey, though. I mean, he may improve us for a year or so, but then what? He'd have to be really cheap for us to even consider it. Plus, as an aside, I've always thought he was a total bellend.

What would you do if Dempsey was the difference between obscurity and a return to CL football? A year or 2 is all we may need from him.
 
I really don't get the point with Dempsey, at all.

And untill proven otherwise I don't believe for one second he's a genuine target.

Its weird when you look at the two on paper. what has Borini done to deserve you being more excited about him than a proven EPL finisher?

Why did Chelsea not want him and why has no other top club come in for him.

You are being harsh on Dempsey there fella, on paper he is a better prospect to do well for us

Is it because borini has a more glamourous name 😉
 
Very exciting and a great fee. Swansea, Roma and Chelsea forums are apperantly going mad after we have pulled this off.
Always a good thing when your former clubs have that kind of impression of you.
