I must say I'm very underwhelmed at the thought of signing Fabio Borini. The guy averages under 5 goals a season in all competitions.

He'd surely only be coming in as back up to Dembele. He has failed to live up to the early potential shown. It would probably be a similar move to SS, in that BR will be hoping to get the best out of him again. Given how difficult it would be to get the right striker in as back up it might not be too bad, but I was hoping for better myself Kev.

The difference with SS is that he had performed well consistently for Swansea in the Championship and Premier League which got him his big move to City. I'd rather have LG as back-up to MD.

{Ed007's Note - Are people forgetting what happened between Rodgers and Borini at Liverpool? The way the player was treated and the way they parted company means it would be nigh on impossible that Borini would be interested in a move to work under Rodgers again and I seriously doubt Rodgers would want to work with him either.}

Very expensive back up jimtim. we've got a 40 goal striker who can back moussa up! Borini is a decent player and can play a few positions, but with the fee and wages he'd command then it's a no for me!

Our priority should be a quality number 10 And top class centre half, and if I'm being greedy another right winger for when paddy goes back! But I trust Brendan on whoever he feels is right for us! Hopefully an exciting summer transfer window for us 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Borini said they didn't speak at all near the end of there time at Liverpool, so can't see why Brendan would go for him now.

Lh86, we definitely need another striker. Few times this season we've played with no striker because of injury.

Same Ed, I have no idea what happened between the 2 of them. Don't pay much attention to EPL stories.

{Ed007's Note - Rodgers didn't like the fact that the Borini transfer was a disaster and the player refused to join Sunderland on a permanent deal so Rodgers banished him to train himself. The player and his agent blasted both Rodgers and Liverpool over his treatment and that's why I would be amazed if there was any truth in this story - Rodgers would need to do some crawling to reach out to Borini and we know the manager never admits mistakes which it would look like - by the time the Italian left Liverpool him and Rodgers weren't even on speaking terms.
We have Dembele and Griffiths so Borini would be 3rd choice for a start, so a 26 year old player Rodgers broke promises to and banished to train himself is going to be happy sitting on our bench at best?
One of the things Borini has mentioned is the fact that he was never brought into the Liverpool squad even when they had no fit strikers so that shows how far out of Rodgers thoughts and plans he was.}

Looks like it won't be Borini then. I wasn't aware of that story I just thought BR took him to Liverpool and FB struggled to make an impact. Still think we need another striker Lh86, as Aitchison obviously isn't part of the firat team plans just yet. Like I said getting the right man in to play as back-up will be a bit of a tough task.

Totally agree kev83. we definitely need cover up front. i would think it would maybe an up and coming young striker who wouldn't mind being left out some times, rather than an expensive more experienced striker who wants to play every game! Which won't happen with dembele at the club. but agree 100% we need another striker to cover dembele and griff!
