He is 100% a comedian that is funny for HOW he says things, rather then what he says, like the young chris tucker was like. If it was ze material alone it wouldnt be worth much.
As with many comedians I like his attitude more than his jokes. This over the top seriousness. Do you think it's an act for showbiz or is he just like that always?
I know you were being facetious, thats the part of being obnoxious hehe, and I really hate the term useful, so many average and limited players get away with being so by being deemed useful. And yes Borriello might be that, but that would be hardly enough, to sign an about to turn 30 year old mediocre striker who has been loaned out more times then anyone and still being loaned at this age, basically just one season wonder.
It was just a joke, Os, which should have been obvious from all the smilies ... like this one :D or this one :P.
Plus, if anything, I was mocking the reactions of people around, who are yet again too quick to judge a player before he's even played a single min for the team, not the transfer itself. Regarding the latter, I have said a number of times that he would actually be a very useful signing for Juve.
btw, if you were to read "On Death and Dying", you'd see I was spot on :D
