Put a bid in for Carlos Borges as his replacement

He is a funny one Borges. I have watched a bit of him and I am not convinced enough. I am probably alone and howling at the moon. His stats are mental and he has pace that should be in the olympics. I watch him at u23 and that pace looks a bit like a bullying card, if that makes sense. There isnt the clever defensive play that will negate the pace, i.e. getting touch tight before he gets the ball, doubling up, pushing him into dead ends. I think he might well turn out to be very good, but his awareness is a bit off yet when in possession. He is a young lad, and has loads of time on his side, but I dont think I would be queueing up to take him on loan this year personally. Amad was primed for the impact he made here, Borges is a year away from that I think. As always just an opinion.

Been linked with the other young lad from Utd. I'd imagine any loan deals will be slightly later in the window

You say just an opinion, but it's clearly a well informed one. I for one really appreciate the insight as I don't know much about him. Saw he bagged a hattrick in one of their under 23 games towards the end of the season, but that's it really.

Only person I couldn't see on the team pic in the gym was Pritchard.
