Carlos Borges | Signed by Ajax for £12m

[LongsightM13]

He will be a star playing more objective football with Ajax

Also likely to play much more often, and in a style more like ours than Moyesball. Good move for him
Always had a feeling with Carlos that he might potentially end up as a central striker/9

Snooze you lose......silly West Ham.

Funny to watch the reactions on the WHU forum

Quite pleased that he has gone to Ajax rather than Moyes. Wee Davey's style of play is gruesome.

it's going to be so fight for the bottom this season

Ajax?

Now we know he’ll end up at the Rags with the rest of their ex-players.

Oh well, 20% of the inevitable £90m future transfer will be another bonus!

It’s weird how Borges has gone for £17 million and Mebude for less than £2 million when they’re both pretty similar in terms of ability

Must be a struggle for the Ajax fans to be seen to deal with us…..the hatred of us as a club when we played them a few years back was “ clear and obvious “

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

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.
