Carlos Borges | Signed by Ajax for £12m

In terms of pure numbers though he’s about as impressive as any player we’ve ever had at youth level. Maybe he won’t fit our system, but I hope we get a good sell-on % and buyback.

The numbers at youth level can be misleading sometimes.

We have seena couple players utterly dominant at this level but unable to translate that to the mens game because the main quality that let them dominate disappears like physicality or pace.

Technical quality reigns supreme though and translates well, and the biggest obstacle as usual is speed of thought in mens game.

His numbers mean we should get a decent salw though I agree, but he isnt a city player.

Yeah probably not but he could easily go Dortmund and become a £50mil player. We‘ll make a tidy profit anyway.

West Ham bound 14 mil.

£14m with a buyback and sell on according to Romano, excellent deal for someone who has never kicked a ball in senior football and protects us in case he explodes. Good luck to the lad

I was really hoping to see him play, will keep an eye out for him at West Ham. Good team for him to go to. Great deal for City.

 

[Josh_D]

Good for him to get the opportunity at play at a higher level.

Not the biggest Moyes fan as I don’t think his tactical acumen is high, however, I hope and believe that the move is a good one. He may also get to play in the European comp as well.

 

[jamesha]

Good move for him and hopefully he will do well, as Lavia did last season, so that we can sell on another couple of players next season for similar amounts.
