Yesterday (Saturday 14th July 2012) Liverpool confirmed the signing of Fabio Borini from Roma. The price is said to be around £7.9million. I think this a great buy for LFC, and that Borini will be a great asset to the team.
Dirk Kuyt left LFC earlier in the transfer window, and Maxi looks set for a return to Newells Old Boys. Liverpool needed someone who could fill in the hole left by these departures, and Borini is the man to do so. He is a striker who operates in a wide position, and is a perfect replacement for Kuyt, as he can play in a right striker position alongside Carroll and Suarez.
Also, he proved a big goal threat for Roma last season. He netted 10 times in the season, and those goals came from only a small amount of games, as his appearances were limited due to injury. LFC last season were creating some good chances, but weren’t converting enough. Borini will hopefully change this, and become the clinical finisher that Liverpool need.
On top of this, he is the young talent that the club really need to bring in. He is only 21 years of age, and has already been capped internationally. He will be able to grow as a player at Liverpool, and hopefully become a world class striker.
In conclusion, I think Borini is a great signing, and could really turn around Liverpool’s fortunes. He is the wide striker that is required, but more importantly he will get goals for the club, and goals win games. If Borini and Liverpool are able to get the goals flowing again. I think they could be set up for a return to the top four next season.
