Why would we pay more than anyone else? Borini would go where he wanted regardless of transfer fee. We should offer £4 mil tops. Isn't he in the last year of his contract?
As has been said before, I am assuming he will play on the left of the front three which means Defoe up top, dick has said Defoe can't play there. So surely we are bringing a striker in. I cannot see Borini being played up front. Does Dick want him?
Pretty sure Dick will have final say on transfers. After his comments on transfers before he arrived, I doubt that he would allow a player to be bought without him giving a final say
Does Borini improve our squad? Yes! Is he better than Graham and Fletcher? Yes! Is he as good as Wickham? Yes! A no-brainer for me!
Sheff Wed offered £10m for McCormack from Fulham and it was rejected! So Borini for £8m plus add ons puts it into perspective.
Forget the money, we're ****, we are desperate, clubs know that and we have to pay simple as that. Does he improve us? Yes Can he play in Dicks system? Yes Does he give 100% on the pitch? Yes Is he young with resale value? Yes I know he said he did not want to come here but he is not the sort of player to sulk he will give 100% If he does well we will be able to sell him on for a profit so the money is not a big risk. I am not 100% sure he is the right man to play the lone striker role? Ramos might be a better option but he is better than Fletcher or Graham.
HELP! HELP! I went to bed last night 30/08/2015 and appear to have woken up on 31/08/2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, we stay up (just) again, sack Gus and - yes you'd better believe it - Get Dick Advocaat as his replacement! Oh. By the way. Borini doesn't sign for us. He reckons we aren't good enough for him........................... x
I think it would make sense to play Seb at right back. You would have someone could defend, as well as get forward. Then it would just leave us to get a left back
Well blow me one he's having a medical ( apparently) that means nowt.how many of our targets have failed medical over the years.
Don't get me wrong I think he would be a good swap for wickham.like for like slight step up.some may say big step up as wickham did very little.IF he come we shall see

I had a doctor in the 80's who would ask how long you wanted on your sicknote before he asked what was wrong with you...... x
did he turn us down a year ago and humiliate our manager in the process? Yes did he prefer to ride the pine @ anfield rather than play for us every week? Yes has he waited untill the last minute to try and get a move anywhere but sunderland? Yes is his missus fit? Yes, Yes
