Fabio Borini

[Rowan]

It would appear that Borini, Balotelli and Enrique are all in this together. Milk the club for what they can get and then leave on a free

When you say milk the club do you mean receive the pay that was outlined in their contract and we offered when we pursued them and persuaded them to sign for us?

In a word....Yes

[Rigadon]

Or have we really screwed him over? I don't think we can put the blame solely at a player for wanting to stay at our club when we've given him the contract we have. That the manager / club doesn't want to use him is really another matter.

I think it goes both ways tbh. Borini never really got a decent shot here, and I think it's okay he doesn't want to leave at all costs - sometimes we fans even get angry when players does want to leave

Really don't understand people criticising Borini for wanting to stay at Liverpool.

Liverpool FC offered him the contract and he signed it. Refreshing to see a player honouring his contract

hes only honouring his contract cos hes ****. if he was any good he would be whinging for a move away.

if a player is happy to stay then he isnt good enough to play for us. fact.

[S-RED]

I agree, remembering BR was salivating to sign him, it is not his fault that we then decided he was poor. prestige being a LFC player or the highlights of a dodgy NE ****hole....

[Mostar]

I understand that he has a contract, but football isn't like regular business. I really think that clubs have themselves to blame offering such lucrative contracts to average players. Where is a player's motivation to succeed and to play when he's going to earn loads of money for doing nothing?

That's the most disappointing part about Borini.

He always knew he was going to be 4th choice striker and the chances of his making it last year with us were small at best.

He was given 2 opportunities last summer, one from QPR and one from Sunderland where he would've been first or 2nd choice striker playing in PL but it appears lower wages and type of clubs actually showing interest in him were not as appealing as perhaps the chance to play regularly.

No question that the club shares some of the blame for this situation but you would think, given his age and his NT aspirations, that he would have chosen playing time over anything else.

Either way, at this point it is all about shipping him out but the loan move is not ideal for us.

[Fierce]

Pretty sure he was offered higher wages elsewhere

[TheElephantMan]

He might be expected to actually play football in exchange for higher wages?

I think he needs to belong to a club who will give him responsibility. Here he is less than peripheral. At another club he could be the main man and he might thrive who knows? The longer he stays here the more his talent is being wasted. He needs to find a club who will give him the game time he needs to prove his worth.

I agree, he could end up really damaging his career by hanging around not playing for two straight seasons, but he also cost us probably 7-10 million including his wages by hanging around unwanted. I'm sorry, but I have no time for him.

Wasted 3 years of a limited career - I'm sure it won't bother him when he's counting his millions after he retires

Personally, I'd have rather played some frigging football than train for 3 years

I think him sitting on the bench and missing out on the NT will just lead to lower contracts later in his career so it evens out IMO.
