Seriously do not see the point of all this effort to defend Borriello. Is this a player that you legitimately want to keep, Nzoric?
You would be hard pressed to find anyone who considers Borriello to be the superior player to Matri, over the past two years. Take into account that Marco is 2 years older, that we already own Matri (who has legitimately demonstrated that he can be a valuable player for us with 11 in 17 last year), and that neither one of these players is prolific enough to lead the attack of a team that wants to compete in multiple competitions...
Doesn't it become clear that we should take the 8M we would spend on Borriello, and invest it in a clearly superior player on the open market?
I hope Marco continues to chip in with the odd goal here and there, but he should be playing elsewhere next season.

In that case, Matri is better. But if we can sell him for anywhere or 12m, I'd do it. But definitely, we have to send Borriello back to the hole that he came from. If anything, keep Quag.

So if someone buys Matri for 18 million and we purchase borriello for 8 thats not good?
(we gotta kill a new horse)
funny you should mention that. i'm sitting here drinking my kool aid reading your reply to king ale, and suddenly i realized that how can you even compare that? Matri played continuously while Marco had not played for months and needed to get back into form its like apples and oranges, you fail to add the variables into the equation. They also are not my facts they are others on here
The best part is the majority of the haters where the same bitching about Conte, and Vucinic coming here and look how that worked out

No, that's not good. I don't rate Borriello, we aren't invested in him and he's not good enough to lead a team that wants to challenge for honors in Europe, so I would say that signing a player already on high wages for 8M is a stupid way to spend valuable resources.
If we get a huge offer for Matri, that should be evaluated. Chopping and changing players constantly however, is not my idea of how to build a strong team. IMO, he hasn't been all that bad either, and would be a decent option off the bench for at least another year
We need to set our sights higher, buddy. Even if Borriello is better than he's demonstrated while at Juventus, he's not a player who one would find at most top clubs. As far as the forward position is concerned, we need top quality reinforcements at this point. Enough with the mediocrity.
