Borini or Allen
I like their "effort" and I think Allen is a good player. I believe Allen was brought in because he got BR's system and BR wanted that stability in the early days... To me, he is a squad player/borderline starter.
Borini is a squad player to me, too... I see Fiorentina want him and I wouldnt be upset to let him go (offer as part of a Jovetic deal )
That said, they seem like good guys and arent on massive wages, though I think we over paid a bit for them.

Allen I think was an impulse buy by BR when he first got here and didn't know how to enforce his system. It did not help that we did not have a scouting department to consult, Dave Fallows et al being on Gardening leave. So I think he fell back on the only tried and tested solution he was aware of. And you know what happens when we really want someone. Other teams jack up the price and we get a$$ r***d in negotiations.
Borini was a fair price I thought since he is so young. You always have to pay more for "potential". But even then there were probably cheaper solutions that were as/more effective. But that is water under the bridge.
First order of business should be matching tiny tots man for man next season and then onwards and upwards.
