Met a Sunderland fan today and grilled him a bit over Borini. He said that after a poor start and some weak performances, he's really turned it around and been one of the sides' best players. Confirmed much of what we already knew, in that he puts in a damn good shift and feels that if the strikers around him were of a higher quality, Sunderland would have benefited more from the space his movement creates.
It seems that the spell has allowed him to regain some much needed confidence. He must see that this is a chance to create a future for himself here. Also laughed that the lad said the two players who have been the most influential in Sunderland's mini-turnaround thus far have been Ki and Borini, both of whom will be promptly fucking off at the end of the season. Sounds like another side we know....
