An inconsistent lightweight compared to Remy, I can't believe the price some of these players are going for, clearly desperation...
Not sure but sell hi for 14..then buy remy for 8mill....is that right.....? we have been royally f**ked over again !!
Remy plus six million for borini is fantastic dealing. Yes we got ****ed with the price but he was only using us as a stepping stone anyway, that was clear when he signed. We got a year out of him, plus £2m loan fee and 500k profit on the sale. Remy's wages were £4m for the year he was here. In effect, we had him for one season for £1.5m including wages. He cost Newcastle £6m for one season.
Even Levy couldn't have worked a better deal, although he is still waiting for his 40% pay-off on Taarabt.
Like the £35 million Andy Carroll silly money purchase after Liverpool unloaded Torres to Chelsea for £50 million. Fantastic business - get the unwanted Borini (skillful but lightweight) off their books for £14 million, pick up Remy for £8 million, meeting the contract clause assuring him Champions League football - a real no-brainer.

We've hardly been ****ed over, have we? If it is £8m for Remy then that was presumably insisted upon to sign the guy and give us a chance of staying up. He's not really increased his value through playing for us. At Newcastle he obviously did. I don't see it as a loss assuming we sell for £8m as it was always what was going to happen.
He wanted 80k a week and to go to a CL side. Wenger wouldn't budge on the wages. He's also an injury prone mercenary and not "the right sort".
Doesn't sound like he necessarily wanted to go? Liverpool agree Loic Remy fee to force Fabio Borini to Sunderland please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Liverpool have agreed a £14m deal to sell striker Fabio Borini to fellow Premier League club Sunderland. Borini, 23, spent last season on loan at the Black Cats and helped them avoid relegation. Despite the development, Borini started for Liverpool on Saturday in a pre-season friendly at Preston. "It's an agreement between the clubs but nothing agreed with the player as of yet," Reds boss Brendan Rodgers told BT Sport. "He is still very much a Liverpool player." Borini scored 10 goals during his stint at the Stadium of Light and picked up the club's young player of the year award. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...-Remy-fee-to-force-Fabio-Borini-to-Sunderland
