It's difficult to see any upside from his decision. His wage demands were highly unrealistic, but both QPR and Sunderland were reportedly prepared to pay him more than he earns from his existing deal at Liverpool. It's easy to label Borini "greedy" based on reports he wanted 90,000 pounds a week from QPR, but by turning down the Londoners and Sunderland he's not only financially worse off, but he's also not going to be playing much football over the next four months.

I for one, would have loved to have seen that.
