Sunderland Transfers: 5 Reasons Fabio Borini Is Worth £14m
4. His Attitude
Whilst Jack Wilshire was enjoying a well earned toke on a cigarette in Vegas last month, and Joe Hart was drowning his England sorrows with copious amounts of champagne, Fabio Borini was enjoying a different sort of holiday; sprinting around Italy in thirty degree heat in preparation for the new season. Quite simply, he was being a professional: something our overpaid, under-performing England counterparts seem to disregard and then stumble around in the dark for excuses come tournament time when they are eliminated after five days. Undoubtedly they could learn something from Borini, who is professional to the core and maintains the dedication that will see him rise to the top. Never without a smile on his face, the unflappable Borini works non stop from first whistle to last, leading by example, and setting the tone for his team. Off the field, you wont see Borini caught in nightclubs in the early hours, the Italian preferring to spend time with his new wife or at fans events organised by the club. In this day and age, it is the off the field antics that ultimately lead to a manager pulling out of a deal, yet in the North East where we have seen the likes of Nile Ranger, Sean Thornton, and Liam Lawrence, Borini has been a breath of fresh air and will ensure that £14m represents no gamble at all.
