Borini

The agent of Liverpool forward Fabio Borini has told the Italian media that his believes client wants to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place. The Italian international spent last season on loan with Sunderland and the Premier League side want to make his move a permanent one.

Speaking to TMW Marco De Marchi said that Borini is a gambler and wants to remain at Liverpool. He said that they are not worried about the competition for places at the Merseyside club despite Brendan Rodgers being able to pick from the likes of Daniel Strurridge and Rickie Lambert. De Marchi pointed to the fact that when Borini was playing for AS Roma he had a number of great players in his way for the forward places and therefore this is no different to the situation at Liverpool.

"After the loan Liverpool did not tell me anything. He will remains for me, he is convinced to gamble. In Rome there were Totti, Osvaldo, Lamela, and Bojan: he has no fear of playing with anyone, for me he can be part of any staff of a top club," said his agent when asked about his future with Liverpool.

Borini spent last season on loan at Sunderland and was instrumental in the club staying in the Premier League. It looked like the North East club would be dropping down into the Championship but with Borini’s performances in the final weeks of the season this helped the club avoid the drop.

 

Means nothing to me that mate, just diplomacy thats all

 

I would like to here what Borini has to say rather than this agent or who ever he is..

 

I'm sure he'll say all the right things in his 1st press conference

so not the first time hes ****ed people about then

 

Stays commited to his parent club until its done, nowt wrong with that imo, better than speaking out of school trying to engineer a move

 

lets hope so, other options seem to be getting more and more talked about though,i hope he comes but soon

 

Dude... if his agent says he wants to stay..time to look elsewhere.

 

He's contracted to a club in Europe that almost won the league.

Sunderland had a poor season and may have an average one this time if we're lucky.

Can't blame him for not coming to the NE, not many trophies to be had up here.

Players come to the NE as a platform for a move somewhere better, look at the likes of Remy & Cabaye.

 

After Sunderland had a bid of up to £14m accepted by Liverpool for Fabio Borini, there have been rumours swirling that he didn't want to come, or that he himself was driving the move but according to the player's agent, the striker still hopes he has a future at Anfield.

Speaking to tuttomercatoweb, Marco De Marchi explained that he's in no hurry to give up the journey he has been on with Liverpool;

Sunderland has made ​​an important offer of €18,000,000 to sign him, but Fabio wants to stay there [at Liverpool].

The project started with Liverpool two years ago, when he left Rome to start a major project, he began a journey and it's a major project for him.

He should not be judged on his first year: he was out for six months with foot and shoulder injuries, the past year he took a step back by going to Sunderland and had an ​​extraordinary season.

Now, after the loan, I have not heard anything from Liverpool. He's willing to take his chances [of forcing his way into the Liverpool side].
Borini isn't worried about the increased competition at Liverpool, as it's something he dealt with during his spell at Roma;

At Roma there was also Totti, Osvaldo, Lamela and Bojan: He has no fear of playing with anyone, for me he can be part of the team of any top club.
With talks still expected to take place between Sunderland and Borini, take these comments from the player's agent with a pinch of salt as he looks to give himself and his client a good base to negotiate from.

Despite Borini's confidence in himself, he is clearly going to have a hard job forcing his way into the Liverpool team that looks likely to contain Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling, Philippe Coutinho, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Loic Remy, Lazar Markovic, Jordan Ibe and Divock Origi, and that's without further additions down the line by Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool clearly believe that Borini doesn't feature highly in their future plans, hence accepting the bid for his services and for their part, Sunderland are still expecting to speak to the Italian in the near future, as Gus Poyet looks to convince the 23-year-old that he can fulfil his ambitions at the Stadium of Light.

Despite this apparent set back, expect the move for Borini to go ahead as planned, even if we have to wait a little longer than expected for a resolution.

 

WMS, isn't is a little strange that Borini always wanted to stay at Liverpool but didn't mention that to Poyet?

Why allow the negotiations to get to the point of going public as it wouldn't really benefit him?

 

We are not party to what has been said behind closed doors, in public he's maintaining his stance, wouldnt want to be seen as a darren bent or that daft twat that turned up at qpr on deadline day etc

 

Maybe he was using Sunderlands interest to try and engineer a better move away from Liverpool. Like saying that if we are willing to pay 14 million for him then he must be ok?

I don't know why the club allow things to drag on. We should give a firm cut off deadline and then tell him to stick it.

 

Exactly, but it is funny watching people get wound up on their own assumptions though. Humans are Queer.

 

He's a liverpool player atm, they pay his wages, what else is he supposed to say, "they didnt wish me a happy birthday" or bite somebody?

Be interesting to see if he plays against roma tonight, not that it will tell us **** all either way really

 

I want him to play tonight, no doubt about it. I don't want to just abandon pre season till he joins us. I want him fit as possible if he were to come.

 

Dude... who are you addressing? You do know that no bone on this board is responsible for SAFC transfers yeah?

 

That doesn't concur with him insisting he wants to stay at Liverpool though ...... he'd be trotting out the 'many clubs are interested' ****e.

 

Borini has been professional to the club he's under contract with, stating his willingness to do well for the club, just like Giacc has with us. Borini will have no more sentimental attachment to Liverpool then Giacc has to us. It tells me nothing about how or where either of them really see's their future.
