Henderson would be welcomed back anytime, I am not in any way opposed to ambition from any angle, I just dont think we need this guy at this price and it has to be he most contentious signing ever by SAFC in my 60 years supporting this load of s***e. Yes I am annoyed. :emoticon-0148-yes: but I will get over it.

Se I think the price is probably bollocks and paper talk! I reckon it'll be less but still more than I'd want to pay. He improves us no doubt
 
The thing he brings is a willingness to play left and back track which should help PVA - despite DA's posturing that Defoe will play where he's told to he just doesn't track attacking full backs, it's not part of his game - look at Naughton's run for Swansea's first goal.
I think Congers will start to sort out youth contracts once the window is shut. Regardless, given his age I think we'd get compo for Dunc in the unfortunate event he does leave at the end of his contract unless he's not classed as home grown since we got him from Altringham - did he sign on youth forms or pro?

I don't really get the hatred for Borini. He thought he had a shot at a CL club so he stayed at tried to fight for his place. That's to be admired imo. We don't know what happened but I've never seen any concrete evidence that he "****ed us about" last year. We were determined to make the deal happy and chased him for a whole summer when he'd made it clear he wanted to give it a go at Liverpool - that's our problem not his.

Let me put it this way, if Hendo got pushed out the Liverpool first team and decided he wanted to come back, would you all have him, or would you be saying "Nah **** him he chose Liverpool over us"? What's different about Fabio?

Great post.

He told us no from the off. Gus just could take no for an answer. Ultimately Fabio had every right to stay put and fight for his place. He owed us nothing. He shouldn't be blamed for Poyets delusions. The lad has never done anything wrong. In fact what he did for us was give us memories we'll never forget. He improves us and we could get to run around doing this at the derby.

According to the BeeB, Fiorentina are still in the mix, and Inter probably aren't out of it.

If I was risking a few bob, I'd put my money on him not coming.

We'll see won't we, there're both better clubs so I'm waiting for the delusional arrogant abuse he gets if he picks them.
 
You can't really get 'known' centre forwards for less than £8m these days really. 8 + add ons if that's right is no longer a big fee - Premier League inflation last year to 18mths has gone stupid. At the price I don't think you can get much better. Good signing for yous.

It's on twitter left right and centre that Borini is already in Sunderland, also word is Fletcher to Celtic is apparently back in. It's a bit hectic, trying to find the original source for Fletch
 
Oh Tuscany or Milan are wonderful places, and they are big clubs likely to have Euro football.

That said, let's consider the fact Fabio has an English wife, maybe he wants to stay in England cos SHE wants to stay in England, maybe that's why the deal to Inter wasn't quickly sewn up.

He came to England twice, remember, he clearly likes it here. Mad ****.

Just popping into the kitchen to prepare a dish best suited to eating my own words!

I like it here too. Been around a bit & have more miles on the clock than a London taxi.
But the North East is my home, I'm happy & I love being amongst my own.
There's nowhere I've ever been I'd choose to live over this.

This would be an awesome situation!! Borini in fletch out? No brainer!!

While we're at it lets go stick £5mdown for Alonso man! That'd be an almost perfect transfer day

It would, though I'd like to think Borini is Wickham's replacement and that Fletch would be replaced by a target man.

If Borini comes, the only place that he can fit for me is in Defoe,s place. Not sure if it,s a plan to lose top scorer

Not at all. Defoe is only one ahead of lens remember (league goals not the cup against a div 4 side) but Borini is far fitter and younger. Has a good brain but it's a squad game
