Fabio Borini

So this was the exciting signing Rogers was talking about that would excite the fans ??

I reckon so.

Glowing review there from Rodgers. Looking forward to seeing him line up for us. Welcome to LFC Fabio!

maybe because we never offered silly money straight away? maybe because Fabio wanted to come to play with BR? Maybe because of the financial climate or probably all of the above,Roma were willing to sell to raise some pennies and we were willing to buy at a sensible price for someone who could one day(maybe sooner) be top quality who our manager knows well?

Also, maybe Romas ownership only ever looked for market value, a fair price, and were not out to get us to overpay.

Because of this...

2011.
Roma have become the first major Italian team to have foreign ownership after a group of American investors signed a deal to buy the club.
Private equity tycoon DiBenedetto is a partner in Fenway Sports Group, the parent company of Liverpool's owners.

Loving this bit

"He is arguably the best physical player I've worked with in terms of his pace, power and fitness. Mentally, he's very strong. We've got a player who is on the up and someone who I think Liverpool will benefit from."

Looking forward to seeing him in the red shirt

I love it how he looks absolutely ecstatic every time he scores.

I suppose he is a bit of an exciting signing really mate, because I'm sure very few people here have seen him play in anything other than YouTube clips. I'm excited as I've seen next to nothing of him.

Seems like a sensible move though. He and Rodgers obviously know eachother well and I'm sure Rodgers can bring out the best in him.

Looking forward to seeing him play.

Sometimes i can watch players on u-tube that i don't know too much about, and yes they'll look great, but the odd one or two have a certain something else, hard to explain really, but it sets them apart in your mind compared to others you've seen bang in goal after goal on u-tube.

This lad has that look about him, in my eyes anyway, so i'm excited about finding out if he can be as good as i hope he can.

[kris90210]

He looks a natural finisher anyway. Hopefully if we can give him chances he'll put them away. Seems to me he's risen to the challenge at every club he's played at.

Speaks well and can understand Scouse! Maybe he can give Aquilani English lessons...

Anyone seen his debut for Italy?? Pretty damn good considering how young he is. The most pleasing thing was the effort he put in, he just goes charging back after the ball when he loses it.

Watched that whole match and he was very good. we were lucky to walk out 1-0 winners... of course, we all know who scored the winner for USA that day, giving us our first ever win in Italy...

Welcome to LFC good sir.

I know absolutely nothing about you and have never seen you play so I am decidedly indifferent to your arrival but I hope you turn out to be great

Character has so much to do with a players future, and with a managers choice of players to purchase.

You could have two good youngish players, early 20's say, one will be ahead of the other, will be considered a better player and to have the potential to be the better player.

But a manager has to judge which player is likely to make the most of their potential, as when you look back at each players careers in time, it could be that poorer of the two went on to be the better player, because he had the character to do so, by making more of the lesser talent he had, he ended up the the finished article that he could be, while the other did not.

Very difficult judging young players, very happy that BR has had a good insight into this lads character.

Promising imo.

Officially no 29. His lucky number
