Carlos Borges | Signed by Ajax for £12m

[Ray bloody Purchase]

And that banner of theirs was more than a little bit racist

Yes……to say the least………..”clear and obvious“, but he couldn’t be going to a better a club to develop, (apart from here) so here’s hoping we buy him back

 

[LongsightM13]

Could we be being cute? playing something of a long game?

Perhaps we saw more potential,and see this 'sale' as more of a development opportunity with a low sale price and equally low buy back.

Doubt we’ll ever see Mebude again, seems more of a Sancho type who joined us only recently and probably for development, rather than Borges who has been with us since primary school

Just throwing a theory out there.

Mebude seemed to have more strings to his bow than Borges.but then again Borges might have a higher ceiling.

Not convinced we will see either,same with 99.9% we let go.

Just hope the buyback doesn't kick in too late. I could envision a scenario where he's having a stormer of a season and every team in the country wants him for 70m.

Like Lavia at the moment

Not sure it will matter (unless we buy him back to immediately sell on) as we do not play the breakaway/counter attacking footy that suits his game best.

Best wishes to him though,he's a wonderful exciting talent that will get bums off seats.....i'll be tuning in when possible.

Good luck to Borges and long may he progress. Made wet winter evenings at the Academy stadium worth the wander over.

Well he plays for Ajax now, so Ten Hag is probably already making enquiries.

Tbf if we wanted Lavia we could get him

Lavia needs another year, right now he'd waste his time coming back to us

The kid needs football to develop, he ain't getting that with Rodri being the best DM in world football and Stones being his perfect partner

The buy back is kicking in the right time for us, just a bit annoying there is a huge demand for a DM for every big team in the league but us, so he's likely gonna go to the Dippers

Only if we outbid opposition bids.

Just don't understand why we agreed to a buyback clause that doesn't kick in until next year.
If we want him now we're going to have to pay probably 55m for him, way above the 40m buy back clause agreement.

Because it gives assurances to the selling club we won't just buy them back after a year

I wouldn't worry too much about it , we won't be

 

[MCFC1993]

Involved in Ajax's 4th tonight. Run's past his opponent with ease. Be great if he develops at Ajax and we go back for him one day.

 

[Bob Hope]

Hope we have a buy back

The caption of that tweet is an absolutely awful description of that goal lol.

I know right? Borges here channelling prime Gareth Bale and they give Bergwijn all the credit for a 5 yard square ball.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Borges doing Borges things.

Feels strange that we have just spent 55m on a player and never even gave this similarly talented kid a chance.

We have covered our bases with the sale conditions though.

 

[Galvanoth]

Playing very good right now, got 1 goal and 1 assist so far.
