Tom 13915 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If Borini is any good why didn't anyone but Sunderland want him? Who have they beaten to his signature? He would have been happy enough rotting at Liverpool if he could have gotten away with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4970 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Hugely underwhelming. They've now spent three transfer windows chasing a player who spent the entire of last season warming a bench at a team that's only about 10 places better than they are. Good for them if they're happy about it, I guess... Edited August 31, 2015 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 This post on RTG, a reply to 'Borini always scores against the mags': 'You're so right brother, some players just seem to have 'a thing' about scoring against certain teams and Borini just loves the mags. He knows it, we know it and of course they know it. A fact that is worth the transfer fee on it's own.' So they're happy with spending £7.5m rising to around £10m to get a player who scores against Newcastle? What a bunch of pathetic, sad, obsessed losers.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It'd be our equivalent if we spent 10 million on Shola Ffs I'd be embarrassed if we signed a shit player who onlyn scored against them lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4970 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Being fair though, he did get 7 goals that season he was on loan with them. Hugely impressive number. To put it into context, when Shola was the same age playing for us, he also managed 7 goals in 25 games (26 to be exact) when he was the same age (as Borini was two years ago). They've spent £10m on their own version of Shola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 They love to create fictional "Mags" in their heads down to their superiority complex. I honestly couldn't give a fuck who they sign TBF, let them crack on. End of the day defensively they are absolutely shocking so they will always concede goals. I bet with Borini finally signing for them they expect to finish top 10? Fucking dreamworld.Fully agree. In all honesty who was the last player they have bought that has genuinely done really well for them and helped them finish high-ish up the table? They genuinely just sign utter wank players that aren't worth worrying about, they have a real knack for it tbh. It's probably harder to buy the amount of players they have bought with all the money they have spent and not buy one decent one than have a few that are canny. It's miraculous they have survived in the Premier League this long when they consistently look among the worst in the league year after year. The fact they've spunked their collective loads over signing this complete and utter skinny carthorse shows how desperate they are. I'd feel bad for them if they weren't such annoying cunts.

I was chatting to a few mates about which club has made the most "bad" signings in the Premier League era and while a few clubs have spent big on shit, they can at least console themselves that amongst their shite, there is a gem or two. So while Spurs might have wasted a big proportion of the money they got for Bale on players like Lamela and Soldado etc, they still have Modric to look back on fondly, or Bale, or Friedel etc. Am I biased in looking at the players signed by sunderland and seeing shite signing after shite signing? It's not like they've no money to spend, but Bent? Johnson? Defoe? Are these the best players to pull on a red and white shirt for the great unwashed? Midtable fodder at best. Wigan have had better players, Portsmouth, Leicester, the list goes on. Says to me they must have an absolutely shocking scouting network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine many Spurs fans would consider Friedel a great signing but I get your point. You only have to look at who the tramps most highly regarded players are in the premiership era to tell you everything you need to know about. Phillips and Quinn!

The Fish 9234 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Don't forget about Catts for England! I get that Cattermole is a useful player to drag you out of a relegation scrap, but he's also the reason you're consistently in a relegation scrap. I don't think it's a stretch to say that given what they've spent, they're the biggest underachievers in the league? We've spent a fair bit in the 22 years of the Premier League, but we've played in the Champions League, had global stars and "top top" players pull on our shirt. They've finished 7th once.

Andrew 4263 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It was, fairly I think, pointed out that they've signed Borini for less than they got for Whickam.Which isn't a bad trade imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but we got Sissoko, Cabaye, Debuchy, Cisse etc. for less than we got for Carroll. They can't brag about balancing a cheque book if they've ripped into us for being a selling club. Borini is a decent little player, but their issue remains their back four, and their centre mids. Signing another hit & miss striker isn't going to fix their underlying problems. Also, if they're happy to spend cash on Borini, why wouldn't they take a punt on Austin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ellis Short probably sanctioned the signing because he knew the fickle fans of wearside would welcome it due to his two goals against the team from the regions capital.Another goal against us and they will probably remove the statue to the Geordie who took them into the 3rd division and replace it with a one of Borrini.

Kid Dynamite 6086 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Borini, Lens and Mvila are good signings for them. The other 5 or 6 are the usual shite they buy and then can't shift. Still think they will be fighting relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet they were buzzing with the 'potential' of Wickham (he's fucked off now haha), the experienced O'Shea and Brown, and midfield powerhouse Rodwell The only mackem player with a bit of quality is Johnson, a ALLEGED paedophile.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 When they signed Steed Malbranque one makem on rtg desribed it as ` a truely remarkable signing'.They thought Wickham was quality because they'd pipped Liverpool to his signature.Only the makems thought that mind.I've pointed out before that every player is a good signing and even more so after a new signing has a good ( actually average ) debut.They did it last season after the debuts of Bridcutt and Jones.Kaboul was always going to be a shite signing .After his first two shocking games he was dropped,but reinstated for the Villa game,and after a rank average performance against Villa last weekend ( and another 2 goals conceded ) he's now a good signing again.CATTS FOR ENGLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
