To be fair, Rodgers has been trying to sell Borini for 3 summers now... He just won't go. The fact that he won't leave has probably made Rodgers very antsy around players he wants to sell.
I think its ruined borini's long term earning potential
example:
50k x 52 x 2 years = 5.2million. say 50% tax = 2.6mil in his pocket
but what happens now...
If he went to sunderland last year lets say 10mil paid whatever.... lets say he got 35k per week... lets say he scored 10 goals last year
ok...
he would have got 35k x 52 x 2.... 3.64 million x 50% = 1.82mil. over same period. thats shows a loss of 780k by the end of this season... but he wouldh ave got win bonueses and singing on fees and look like a player... perhaps he could get a move like shane long....
get me... he would make a short term loss for long term gain.
Now think forward for poor fabio
If he had gone to sunderland 35k x 52 x 4 years.... 7.28mil x 50% = 3.64mil
but...
He goes to fieorentina if lucky for 4.5mil. he gets 20k per week over say 4 years... = 4.16mil...if he actually pays tax there.. (bartards) thats 2.08 mil over 4 years...
in short he will lose double what he's gained by staying with us.
he should have gone and worked hard and even said **** it i'll move about and get myself signing on fees its something.
now he is bascially on his last legs
