This is how I feel Borini's fee should be rated.
Imagine that he signed for Sunderland last season instead of being on loan from Liverpool.
Now imagine that another (bigger) club wish to sign him from Sunderland.
Now, ask yourself the following questions, would he command a £14m transfer fee based on his performance last season?
Or, if you're a Sunderland fan, would you gladly offload him for £14m because you think the offer is too good to refuse (a la Andy Carroll)?
