KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Borini's a done deal for £10 million

Borini will be a good signing, but anyone who has followed him will know he is not an out and out goalscorer.

He has great movement, creates gaps for the midfield and works the wide areas well. But anyone hoping for 20+ goals needs to seriously re-think!.

I thought we all wanted an out and out goal poacher?

welcome fabio

still won't believe it bar till i see proof!!

Firstly I'm glad to see that we have started moving for a decent transfer and signing some young talent. For anyone wondering how good he is, hes just like Suarez when it comes to taking the ball around you, he will knock it through your legs and use his pace to beat you. He is the type of striker we need who always hugs the last man waiting for a ball like Gerrards to go over the top of the defense and chest it down. Hes a good player that reads the game very well. I hope he does well. Watched him a lot when he was with Roma last year and he played pretty well for them but he needs a good attacking force for him to score goals.

Chris.

By signing nothing but players that are 'correct' (had a giggle at the use of that word), and are players that fit the new system but don't really elevate the first 11 by that much at all, there is more than just the 'fans' happiness to worry about. What about Suarez? Is he going to wait another year for players as good as him to come? So we can actually compete? No. He's not. And after he goes will big players come to us so they can play with Joe Allen and Borini? No. They're not. We don't need hollywood signings, but we need more than functional signings. Liverpool are no longer the kind of club that can replace our best players easily.

Exactly if he were a United signings, Borini would be labelled the a 'future world class player', people only want signings that are linked with clubs like United, and not ones that we actually need.

No they wouldn't. They would have said it was a bit of a shock.

And yes there is. Their performances last season. Kagawa has been magical for a couple of seasons. Borini has been ok and good.

Now there is the possibility that borini takes to the PL like Torres did and if so brilliant. There is also the possibility that Kagawa can't hack the PL which would be fantastic as well. But based on last years performances Kagawa was the better player. Don't even know why you made a Utd Borini link in your head? Seems a very irrelevant thing to do. We need and can get two very different classes of players.

You talk about Kawaga being magical. You need to look at the team he played for. In Dortmond you have a team that up until they won a couple of years ago were full of potential, it's when Klopp came in a done what Rogers is doing, getting young players in, and getting players that fit his system that then those players started getting noticed a lot more. The Hummels and Subotics weren't big recognized names until Klopp got the team functioning, and who was Lewandowski? Just give the man time to work.

Firstly a lot of that post is irrelevant if aimed at me cause I've said many times I think we will play better simply for having the BR brand of football and 'smaller' players will play seemingly out of the skin.

Secondly if you are trying to say Kagawa wasn't anything special before Klopp got Dortmund playing really well then you clearly don't know anything about him. Yes players Lewandowski have come to fruition under him, but if you didn't know about subotic, Hummels, and Kagawa (would you include Goetze in that as well?) then you don't have a grasp on world football. They WERE names, and not just ones to watch before Klopp. Very very bad examples to try and back up your point.

Borini might become great, never said he wouldn't. All I'm saying is, this whole if Man Utd signed him everyone was say it was a coup. This is not true. He's looked like a good young player so far but not anything particularly special. I hold out a lot of hope though as BR seemed very determined to bring him back, and the man does seem to know how to find a gem, so I am not, and have not ever, not once, ruled him out of him turning into something great.

I will just have to disagree, they weren't big names at all.

Kawaga while doing well with Osaka and showing his ability for Japan was not the name he is now, but much like Boroni, he was a player with bags of potential, maybe more so depending on how much you rate the A league.

No you wouldn't include Gotze in there because he only made about 5 sub appearances before Klopp came along. He's made hi name working under Klopp, just like I expect Boroni too.

I wasn't having a personal jib at you, so please don't bring up my knowledge of the game, I'm noy here for a pisssing competition.
