First things first, the quoting me from before. I asked if you played football because a) I didn't remember that you said you did, apologies. And b) because unlike you when you talked about a nuanced piece of play in a split second I was asking because your understanding of what obvious things are, things I teach to my 10 year old squad like pressing, work rate and movement is so poorly judged with Borini.
Wasn't he offered more wages if he left? + would he not have gotten a signing on fee?
No he demanded more to move, at least 80k per week (20k wage rise) he rejected all other offered lower than 80k. Doesn't matter if he was offered more than 60k (which it of itself is silly) he still held out for more and claimed he wanted to fight for a place, knowing full well he was going to get to sit on his arse for a year and rake the easy money in.
Re-watch the Sunderland game, vs Real, when he came on vs Villa and the game he assisted Balotelli, clearly not that useless.
You rewatched 4 games in the last hour since I posted....
It's clear you hate him, and even if he scored 50 goals for us, you would probably say the same thing.
No I'd admit I was an idiot and I was wrong just like some people should do when he's contributed 1 goal for us after they said he was going to be good.
I'll be honest, I've been on this forum for 4 years, and you are the only person I've come across that has so much hate for one of our players. Seriously, I read a lot of dislikes, from Adam, Downing, Carroll etc, but your post just seems to be hate, hate and more hate 
I think you need to calm down.
Well mate I've been here 8 years and in case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of like this. I'm not 'mad' I'm assertive with my points and admittedly use hyperbole to get them across a lot. I've shown focal support for players, to this day there is an article on Anfield Online called "Our Very Own Witch Hunt" from years ago when Lucas was being scapegoated by people who didn't know the basics of football and used as a target. I was the first to speak up, and the most vocal, anyone around here will tell you that. The exact same thing happened with Jordan Henderson, anyone who knew anything about football (again not nuances but BASIC things like positioning) could see that the lad was a centre midfield player... And yet the abuse I used to get for backing him, like Lucas, was crazy. Now the two are loved by all (mostly) because not only have they improved but they have grown in confidence as they won the fans over but never lost the fundamentals I was talking about in the months and years before universal acclaim. The opposite can be said for Robbie Keane whom I openly disagreed with coming into the club from the start because as an Irishman I knew he was not going to fit and also that he is radically overrated by most. I put a brave face on at first and welcomed him... But you want to talk about 'hate' Robbie Keane was someone I opposed to MUCH more than Borini, he just had the common sense and decency to recognise when he wasn't wanted or needed, Borini does not.
So here we are again. I was right about Lucas, I was right about Henderson, I was right about Keane and I'm right about Borini.
If you want to keep arguing you can... But ask yourself is it really worth it for a player who'll be playing Serie B football in 3 years?
