If it was all about the money for Borini then he could have easily come to an agreement with either Sunderland or QPR, got a bit of a wage increase AND get regular football. Google seems to suggest that hes' on 40-50k with us, I can't imagine that neither Sunderland or QPR were offering less than that! It seems he was adamant he was staying at Liverpool, regardless of financials.
He was only ever going to move if he was able to double his money. If they were offering the same, what is the point? Liverpool are a top club and in the Champions League. No point in moving. I assume he signed a four year deal back in July 2012, which would mean if he sat on the bench here for a year, he moves into his final of his contract during next Summer's window he is able to get a big signing-on fee elsewhere, where no transfer fee is involved. So when he says on Twitter: "I protected the MAN and the player that I am today..." I think what we all know what he really means. type-r said:

Its not just the 14 million. This boot cleaner is on what at least 30k a week.
I hope we bring him on with 30 seconds to go in the odd game after making him warm up for 30 minutes.
But you have said all along we needs 4 strikers - if he was off that would have been 3 ??? I think we are better off having him here till next year if we were not going to sign anyone ....I hope we bring him on with 30 seconds to go in the odd game after making him warm up for 30 minutes.

Yes I've said we need 4 strikers. Borini is crap and with Lambert we'll do well to get 30 minutes out of someone his age.
The club did everything it could to get rid of him. There is a reason why.
I am not saying they are or are not , what I am saying is if he had gone yesterday we would have had 3 - so surely better he stayed?The club did everything it could to get rid of him. There is a reason why.
No, because its clear he's nothing more than a waste of a wage and the loss of a sale. I'd rather (and I think we will) see one of the kids promoted and Borini not make the matchday squad.
I'm disappointed that we also didn't sell Assaidi and Lucas. At least Assaidi is on loan but Lucas (and I am a fan) no longer fits the style of football we play. If we couldn't sell him, I'd have loaned him just to get the wages off the books. He'll be on quite a bit I think.

.
So we sell him - and the front 2 get injured - people would go mad we sold him and didn't buy anyone .
saving 50k a week makes s
t all difference to me - id rather know we had 4 strikers We have no one in youth anywhere near good enough to make the step up.

Rating him as a donkey is stupid! Bet there is not 1 Sunderland fan who didn't want him !
Sterling is good running at people not playing as the main man, why would you want him there? Anyway as we all know football is about opinions so let's just leave it at I think were better off with him than without him and no replacement!

A point made earlier was that playing with Sunderland or QPR and slogging it out in relegation battles would do nothing for Borini's career, and he prefers to stay in the limelight and get some game time with Liverpool. Well I for one certainly couldn't argue with a young man for doing that. It's his life, his career he should get a choice in it, not let others (those who gave him the contract, the club) or some expert keyboard warriors decide his face doesn't fit.

completely agree. We have no one in the youth to promote , the only half decent young striker we had we sold and that's the lad we took on pre season (Peterson ???) Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
