Thing I would say is that Poyet is very good at convincing players to join. When he was manager of Brighton there were a few signings made, Vincente & Craig Mackail-Smith where they weren't sure but after speaking to Gus, he sold the club and the who idea to them and convinced them that was the best place even though there was interest from elsewhere. I'm sure if he gets the chance to speak to Borini he can convince him to join... we all hope anyway
With Borini, he probably doesn't want to join. A team which is struggling with relegation again. He only scored ten goals last season being the main man upfront, so I don't know how much better he thinks he is.
Borini mainly played LW and was ofn the bench a lot for the first third of the season. I really believe Poyet is a good manager and Sunderland will be ok this season.
