After this goes through, Borini himself is touted to go to Sunderland for £14m. We've had a really good transfer window, credit to Ayre for getting the targeted players, early as could be.
Yeh, went from rumour to done in almost a day. Unlikely to happen, but could even feature against City at this rate.
Probably improves them in the sense that it is a high variance signing - could go really well or badly.
Rodgers obviously thinks that having managed to by and large keep Suarez under control last season he can take on anyone
The snide geographical digs are pretty poor huh? Nonetheless in terms of England of course nobody better is interested, as the only two options have either had him once already (City) or managed him already (Chavs)
There's a difference; Suarez is just a scumbag. Balotelli's mentally unhinged.
I don't know if I'd credit Rodgers for that. He's as highly-motivated as any player in the world, so getting him to perform on the pitch shouldn't ever be a problem. He tends to be very popular in dressing rooms too, considering he's a massive bastard.
I think they'll probably get decent money back for him if it goes wrong, so in that sense it's not a terrible signing. But I don't think he's that great at football. All players have some bad and some good games but for some reason when mental players do it, everyone seems to think that the bad games are only because they're mental, and if you just get them under control they'll play at their best every week.
Eh, I said last season and well clearly he did do a good job of it given Suarez didn't miss a game iirc, once he came back from his ban
It appears Rogers got it right in the end surely? Balotelli, Sturridge and Sterling, can't ****ing wait
