aquaman may benefit

Great article on Borini at the end of the Mirror report.
I am genuinely hopeful that we have picked up a very good player

You may have to copy and paste it but its definitaly worth a read.

trust BR on this one..doesn't excite me at all but BR wants him and thats good enough.

Hahaaaa.... +1 Ric Flair!!!!

If he signs hope he work out well for us.

Can't help but wonder why Parma didn't play or hold on to him, and Roma is willing to part with him for a mere 4-6M profit.

10 million is a pretty good price for him I think after a decent season and like you say especially considering they just secured him and had no real reason to sell him. It's 2 or 3 mill less than I expected us to pay.

Don't get the could be world class comment unless it's just a purely speculative comment like, joe allen could be world class next season or Spearing could be world class in a few years time. Borini has shown absolutely nothing that could make anyone realisticly think he could be anything like a world class striker. In fact there is more evidence to the contrary (not saying he's not good btw, just not shown any signs of particularly special talent).

Your comment isn't wrong I guess though, who knows maybe he will be world class, but it would be out of nowhere as he hasn't shown any particular signs of a very special striker.

Excellent signing, perhaps he will help Aquilani settle at Anfield.

Aquilani and Borini both in the same team will be mouthwatering and say what you may about Aquilani, Rafa signed a very good player in Aquilani for us.

I'm not comparing this lad to Cantona but didnt he go to United for a couple of million after having been around a few clubs.

Sometimes players come to a club and everything clicks for them

Fingers crossed

This could be a superb signing. He's a natural goalscorer and can form a great partnership with Suarez. These two can bang in 50 goals between them in the league and of others can chip in, then we've got a wonderful chance of success in the league. We'll get top 4 with him and Dempsey. Let's hope we can keep it together for a possible title challenge.

It could be that he simply didn't like it at chelsea. Or it could be that he was there when they were spending money like there was no tomorrow and couldn't see himself being given a fair crack of the whip?
Regarding the 'potential' question......you can never really tell if someone will make it or not as people develop at different speeds and might have players around them holding them back. Potential doesn't mean much really and is all too often used to explain why soeone is crap.....
