You never know, it might turn out good, I a certain striker signing back in 1997 who became a prolific goal scorer in his fee seasons...
At the a lot of a people said 'Kevin Who'
I think there's a world of difference between Kevin Phillips and Fabio Borini.
Phillips was moving onwards and upwards with his move to Sunderland; it was largely recognised as career advancement. Borini, on the other hand, has a few decent outings at Sunderland while being on loan from Liverpool, snubbed Sunderland for whatever reason, then lingered on the subs bench for most of last season. He may well undergo a career resurgence, who knows? But I don't think it's possible to draw comparisons between a progressive Phillips and a stagnant Borini.
