When both clubs say they've agreed terms, they've agreed all of them, not some of them. So I doubt that's the reason.
Not necessarily blunham. Clubs agree terms on the deal between themselves and then the player andhis agent get involved. The agent will have asked for compensation and Liverpool may7 have been unwilling to agree to pay it. Bit like blind corner says. I heard from my mate (works for SAFC) who is normally very reliable on these things that it was down to the compensation as we agreed terms with the player and Liverpool
If Borini really wanted to play for Sunderland money or compensations would have been sorted, the truth is that probably he didnt want to play for us or QPR, that's why he asked big wages at QPR knowing that would put them off, I think its for footballing reasons, being that he didn't want to play in Relegation Threatened side, that's my thoughts anyway.
Big mistake all round. If we do really well now without him then we will keep our 14m. If we don't do so well he won't want to come here. So either way Borini is done and dusted. Only clubs that will come in for him now (a player who has not played) is a team at the bottom who are desperate.
Well he's either going to Turkey/Russia/Championship on loan, or he's missed his bus. What a stupid little boy.
Disappointed in Borini. Turns out it was all about the money, even demanded 90k pw from QPR when they were offering 55k. a hefty amount for him imo. He will now rot as our 4th choice striker. he's 23, what a shame for him.
Borini has proved himself to be a total cock if you ask me. Yes the player employs the agent to advise them, same as an actor or writer would do. But the bottom line is, they don't have to heed that advice do they? I mean wtf is he, a man or a mouse? Now he's gonna end up rotting in Liverpool's stiffs Serves the thick **** right.
When Tom Cleverley and Fabio Borini were children, they cherished dreams of growing up to enjoy a career in professional football. And they loved these things: Kicking a football Hearing the ripple of the net as they scored a goal Pulling a football shirt over their heads Asliding tackle on a wet, muddy pitch Celebrating goals and victories with team-mates for school and club teams They loved just playing in a team So if you could go and have a chat with 11-year-old Tom or Fabio, and suggest to them both that one-day they might turn down a move because they wouldn’t be paid £60,000-a-week (in Cleverley’s case) or £90,000-a-week (in Borini’s case) and they would think you were an idiot. They are players who, possibly under instruction from ‘advisers’ have chosen to put money before football. They are players who care more about the wages than actually playing the game. They are players who have chosen to pick up money training all week, without the special feeling of playing in front of thousands of fans who have handed over heard-earned cash to watch them play. They are players who make you lose the faith in the beautiful game in this modern era. Borini’s conduct has been bizarre at best. He was loved by Sunderland fans – guaranteed hero status after scoring a late winner in the North East derby at The Stadium of Light, and getting the first when the Mackems hammered the Toon 3-0 at St James’ Park a few months later. The club, the manager and the fans all wanted him to sign for Sunderland. It was all agreed, it was a no-brainer. Except someone with no brains decided it would be a good idea to get greedy and see if more money could be had at QPR. Thankfully for Rangers, chairman Tony Fernandez has wised up to players and advisers taking his pants down so Borini was sent packing. Niko Kranjcar meantime took a 66 per cent pay cut to re-join Harry Redknapp at Loftus Road. Aston Villa wanted Cleverley. No hang on, Manchester United legend Roy Keane – the kind of player - in his day - that Cleverley only wishes he could be – wanted him at Villa Park. Yet those talks ended up with Villa ‘unhappy’, Cleverley out of the door, and the deal off. Minutes later Everton said no, and Cleverley is left at Manchester United under a manager who was quite happy to let him go. I’m told Cleverley wants to play football. I’m left asking ‘how much?’ Cleverley should be paying Keane for the education he would have received under him at Villa. To learn from Keane should have been his priority, regardless of wages, and regardless of Everton stepping in late on. I still believe in the soul of football, I still believe most players love the game and playing more than they love money. But I also know there will be one or two players who let themselves down and forget that time of innocence when they were young boys who felt the joy and excitement of kicking a football. Those guys are much poorer for losing that special feeling this beautiful game can bring. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ycut-sad-indictment-game-11-year-old-say.html Sums my feelings up ^^^^
Yeh, I guess there's always a hell of a lot more going on than what first appears. Sounds like these clubs don't have particularly strong contracts though, if so much can be left open to re-interpretation. It's always the lawyers fault!
