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.
Good point mate...maybe Kevin Phillips is a poor comparison
I think we can at least agree with each other on, his value.
I must say he did grab some valuable goals, which without them, may have Sunderland relegated in 2014...But as you have said last year, he needs to be doing that every week as that is what he is employed to do
