Borini Saga Continues Even Longer.

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has admitted that his patience is wearing thin when it comes to whether Fabio Borini is joining the club or not.

Borini has been top of Poyet’s shopping list since the end of last season, but it is now a long running move on, move off saga.

The situation is the same as it was, Liverpool have accepted the £14 million offer that Sunderland put on the table and the Reds are still not going to stand in his way.

Poyet has remained confident of signing the striker from the word go, but with the closure of the transfer window drawing closer, the Sunderland boss knows that he may have to look elsewhere.

Asked if the club would set a deadline for signing Borini, Poyet said to reporters: ‘I have asked myself many, many times. I don’t know, to be honest, I don’t know if we need to put a date on it or not. I don’t know.

‘It’s a daily thing. If something incredible comes in and we need to make a decision then, a player that we cannot say no to, then I am sure there will be a few phone calls saying ‘now or never’ both ways.

‘But at the moment, we haven’t found that player, but we will see.’
