Borini makes deadline-day move

Forward joins on loan from Liverpool.

Sunderland have completed a deadline-day deal with the signing of Fabio Borini from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old Italian forward has joined on a season-long loan from the Anfield club and is the club’s 12th arrival of the summer.

Borini moved to England as a teenager after being snapped up by Chelsea from childhood club Bologna.

He made eight appearances for the Blues and joined Swansea City on loan in March 2011, turning in a string of impressive performances to help the club win promotion to the Barclays Premier League.

A total of nine league appearances yielded a return of six goals, while he featured in all three of the Swans’ play-off games, including the final.

Borini then returned to Italy with Parma and then Roma, where he fired 10 goals in 26 appearances.

His impressive progress in the Italian capital prompted a move to Liverpool, where Borini became Brendan Rodgers’ first signing having previously played for the Anfield boss at Swansea.

After joining in July 2012, he made 20 appearances for the Reds and featured against Sunderland in a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.

Borini featured regularly for Italy at youth level and has been capped 18 times for the under-21 side, including two goals in three games as the Italians reached the final of the U21 European Championships.

The striker was also named in the senior squad for Euro 2012 and has one full cap to his name.

Second deadline-day deal sealed.

Left-back Andrea Dossena has become Sunderland’s second signing of transfer deadline day.

The Italian, who joins countryman Fabio Borini at the Stadium of Light, has arrived from Napoli on a one-year deal.

Dossena, 31, made 24 appearances for Napoli last season as the Italian side secured a second-placed finish in Serie A.

Born in Lodi, Dossena rose to prominence with Hellas Verona before moving on to Treviso and Udinese.

He joined Liverpool in July 2008 and made 31 appearances during an 18-month spell with the Anfield club.

The defender joined Napoli in January 2010 and racked up 93 games in all competitions, as well as spending time on loan at Palermo.

He appeared in the 2011-12 Coppa Italia final as Napoli beat Juventus 2-0 to lift the trophy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Dossena has been capped 10 times by Italy at senior level.

Honestly I was sure United we're going to go in for Ozil. Apparently he was open to that ahead of Arsenal and he would have suited you perfectly. Can't understand it but very happy about it.

Oh I can. Moyes has brought his small-club mentality with him to Old Trafford.

Apart from keeping Rooney, nothing the United board has done this transfer window has made sense. If they want Fellaini, why not buy him when he had the release clause. Instead they wait and end up trying to get him for a similar amount now. Ridiculous situation.

Out of his depth against Chelsea and Liverpool, after losing to the scousers he claims United "played well"? The many is WAY out of his depth.

Rumours in Newcastle tonight claiming the reason Mike Ashley refused to do summer business is because he's opened talks with Mikhail Fridman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Fridman) about the potential sale of the club.

Regardless it doesn't matter now, we're set for scenes similar to the ones of the Kevin Keegan departure to add to the misery.

Many believe Mike Ashley will then go on to take full control over Rangers. Best wishes to you lot

Lol, critcising a manager after 3 games in charge!

Go back to supporting Swansea

**Damien** · 02-09-2013, 22:59

Same with Chasing Fabregas for half the summer but never really testing it. How much money are United really backing Moyes with?

No I've been criticising him since it was announced he was taking over. There has been nothing in the way United have played in any of those games that suggests he's the right man for the job.

Exactly, they all of a sudden got Arsenals problem (old Arsenals problem now) and not spending the extra bit to get the player they want, messing around with no conviction. Its putting massive pressure on Moyes, which is massively unfair on him.

This just about sums you up as a football supporter...

You know NOTHING of me as a football supporter. United won't win anything with Moyes this season. If they do I'll happily come back and state I was wrong. Don't hold your breathe though.

Even though Ozil is a brilliant buy. And we've got a keeper in. It does not excuse the club not being able to bring in a CF. Real Madrid are lunatics, they were willing to hand Tottenham Morata as part of the Bale deal but the player refused of course lol. We also needed another 1 in midfield, DM/CM to ease the pressure, versatility, make shift CBs and FBs. 2 players short and I'm going to fume seeing Bendtner wear an Arsenal shirt. total disgrace.
