Sunderland boss Gus Poyet is ready to try again for Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.
Sunderland travel to Liverpool on Saturday and Poyet is hoping that a good reception from the travelling fans could let Borini know he is still appreciated on Wearside.
"I hope our fans will give him a terrific reception," said the Uruguayan.
"I would like them to because he deserves it. He is one of those players who, for some reason, everyone thought would be here so we never really wanted to say goodbye to him. But he is not here so it is a good opportunity for us to say thank you to Fabio."
