It's important to realise that we need very different things from a striker.

So just cause he isn't worth 13m to us doesn't mean he isn't to another team? I fully agree with that. He's not a bad player (and neither is Mario) but their worth to us isn't what it would be to others.

The mindset that every player should be able to slot into any team just because they are a good player is completely archaic.

The two key differences being, Kuyt was much more talented and he also had a brain.

Borini, Ballotelli and Aquilani. Probably 75m investment there.

Don't forget Dossena and Daniele Padelli (the single worst goalkeeping performance I think i've ever seen).

We do not do well with italians.

Hes really not as bad as people like to claim he is. He went on loan to sunderland last season and there were people telling us how **** he is coz he couldnt get a game for them. He subsequently won his place in the team, scored a decent amount of crucial goals, played a huge part in keeping them up, helped them to a cup final where he scored a great solo goal and left the club as a big fan favourite after just one season. He made such an impression that sunderland were willing to spend 14m on him, as were qpr, which would have been a major fee for either of those clubs to pay. I remember paully d giving him a glowing appraisal in which he made it clear he was upset to see him leave.

But no, ignore all that, claim he aint worth 6m 2010 money whatever the **** that means even though he quite clearly is worth more than that. Just coz you dont rate him doesnt mean he isnt valuable.

He did great at sunderland but is one of the worst forward signings Liverpool have made in a long long time. Terrible control, decision making and overall eye for goal. This " he works his socks off for ya" is useless when hes so lacking in the required attributes to make it at a club like Liverpool.started aginst west ham, sunderland and another few games and thought he was very poor.

Hes one of the those players like lambert that needs to be playing every week to get any return from him and he simply wont get that here. Fully within his rights to give it a shot and reject sunderland but i really wish hed move on now this window as i think hes way off what is required for top 4

Andy Carrol... someone get the gif out.

......or maybe not.

That's why one belongs at Sunderland and one belonged to a team challenging for the league and the CL.

Still, horses for courses.

Fabio Borini: 58 Prem games; 8 goals


He's simply not very good. I know some people are heavily invested in him on here but his career will fade into obscurity when he leaves us, that's the reality. He knows it too, hence his reluctance to leave.

Kuyt was multiples the player Borini will ever be. Even the 34 year old ran into the ground version of Kuyt is far superior.

Jose Fonte looked good enough for Liverpool tonight - his hair is just dreamy .

I agree, hes a mediocre player, and he will likely spend the majority of his career playing for a mid table club in a major league. However, mediocre players are being sold for a lotta money these days, and the idea of borini being sold for 13m is nowhere as implausible as some seem to believe. It very nearly happened five months ago.

jeez Lazar is an odd fish. Interview on LFC TV . Hes like an old drag queen.

To be fair to him if you exclude 50 of those games not many if no one would match his record.

As for Kuyt, I love that man. Absolute workhorse. I'm surprisrd he wasn't ran in to the ground by 20 nevermind 34.

Anyone know much about this Aussie goalkeeper (Mathew Ryan) from Club Brugge

TBF, he's scored goals against Granada, who are bottom of La Liga and truly dreadful and Sabadell, who are in the Second Division.

In La Liga, he's done nothing.

A while ago some poster was trying to make out that Borini was a fully fledged Italian international and that he could walk into any team in Serie A. Walter Mitty himself couldn't spin a yarn like that.

Oh and on the subject of yokes, its always good to have a few Gary's in the gaff just in case.

We seem to be trying to play with 1 versatile striker and a bucketful of supporting midfielders. That places huge demands on that 1 player. They basically need to be a fit Daniel Sturridge or the whole thing breaks down.

Borini is himself a support player.

He's a bit like Kuyt, who had the biggest impact at Liverpool by doing the dirty work up front, creating an outlet, scoring in huge games and stifling the opposition.

Nice one, agree.

I guess that Talksport are just as bored as we are and made a spinning wheel with player names on the inside and teams on the outside.

That particular gossip is for a summer transfer I think.

Reminds me of the South Park episode when they explain how Family Guy is written using manatees in a tank with 'idea balls' containing written phrases.

All you need are 3 types:

1. Team names
2. Buy / Sell / Loan
3. Player name

Song would be a good and realistic player who we know suits the PL perfectly. Why we didn't jump on him when he was available this Summer was just bonkers.

Roma president comfirms our interest in Pjanic. Be a great signing and hopefully one we can do in the summer.

So we could see how he gets on this season with WHU durrrrr :pac:

Would people not take Song? Happily have him over Lucas.

I dunno, I don't think he is enough of an improvement. I think I'd rather let Lucas hold on for now while Can settles in more.

I think Song has a bit of an attitute problem, but maybe that's just his persona..
