We've had plenty of those recently haven't we?

I wouldn't go that far. What about these beauts Julian Dicks. Torbin Picnik. Karvme. Bernard Diomead. Josemi. Jimmi Tarvore. Robbie Keane to name a few

When I say worst ever, I am purely talking about his football ability.

I still can't understand how we were swindled 12m for this guy. Roma would be laughing their t.i.t.s off.

Name me one player over 12m that is as bad this guy. You just can't.

He has NO football brain, runs around like a headless chook, is NEVER in a threatening position and couldn't hold the attacking line if his life depended on it.

I still stand by what I said, based on the amount we spent, worst signing ever. :no

Cant see anything special in him at the moment , no pace , no finishing , no skills .
Optimism , maybe he's a late bloomer , trend for the Italians .

He looks good in a speedo?

Seen a few rumours that we offered him to Juve plus cash for Matri

If we want him then pay the money ! (Obviously within reason )

Juventus have too many strikers they are trying to get rid of. Obviously they dont want another.

TBH Downing season before last was the owrst signing ever and increased his performance level the season just gone.

Borini hasnt looked too bad in Pre season. Maybe 12m was too much but I think the guy hasnt been given a fair chance

i cant either, he just doesnt seem to have the weapons in his game to trouble top defenders.
we did see a slight improvement towards the end of last season and he did well in the euro U21`s but he`s been very ordinary in pre season.
with sturridge being injured and suarez arriving back late after the confederations cup he`s had plenty of game time too.

by **tubby** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:25 pm

Thought we were getting a bargain when we got him. Looks like we actually paid over the odds for a less than average player. Not knocking him as a guy but he doesn't even deserve to be on the bench.

by **parchpea** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:45 pm

I think he's rubbish and Assaidi looks more dangerous than him.

Regrettably football is not always about how you play but internal politics and I would guess
Borini holds a strong hand there.

by **Benny The Noon** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:48 pm

He just isn't a good enough striker. I'm sure he will do ok in Italy or at a lower club

by **red till i die!!** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:26 pm

most likely going to sunderland on loan :nod

have to say he was such a let down in his time here. struggled with injuries i agree but also struggled with everything else. we will be lucky to get half of what we paid for him.
we havent ever had any luck with italian players so hopefully thats the last one we sign for a while :nod
