Legend calls the £11 million Wolves transfer a “masterstroke” and calls it “unbelievable.”

Being praised to the hilt by your new signing’s former club for getting him out the door is never a good sign for Wolves.

Final day of signingSo when Carlos Forbs returns to England, he has a big argument to make.

Is it possible for a forward who attracted attention with his exciting displays for Manchester City’s Under 21 team to transfer his skills to the senior team? Can Forbs demonstrate that he deserves the £11 million option-to-buy clause in his contract on a season-long loan at Wolves?

But after a largely dreadful spell at Ajax – he was dropped to the youth team in the spring while displaying ‘no quality’ during his time in Amsterdam – the response to Forbs’ departure over in the Netherlands has been one of bemusement.

Bemusement not at Ajax letting him go, but at Wolverhampton Wanderers for taking a chance on one of many disastrous Sven Mislintat-era signings off the Eredivisie giants’ books.

Wolves recruit Ajax starlet Carlos Forbs, formerly of Manchester City.

Dutch football analyst and former Brighton and Hove Albion defender Hans Kraay Jr. tells ESPN of Forbs, who failed to live up to those early Thierry Henry comparisons: “He’s also just one of the very bad, much too expensive Mislintat purchases.”

“Forbs is moving to Wolverhampton right now. According to what I’ve been told, Ajax will get a 2.5 million euro loan fee, and the Wolves will pay his 1.5 million euro annual wage.

“If Forbs makes ten starts for the first team, the club will need to give Ajax an additional 13.5 million euros.” And he’ll take care of that.

“Therefore, it is a good deal.”

However, because of the club’s well-publicized financial problems, Gary O’Neil’s team was compelled to consider low-cost replacements despite earning over £50 million with the sale of Pedro Neto to Chelsea.

Forbs was a one-time goal of West Ham, and an original loan agreement was undoubtedly more inexpensive than, say, Galeno.

However, most people in the Netherlands believe that Ajax won this agreement because they have only managed two goals in 22 Eredivisie games—a competition in which Premier League players like Vincent Janssen, Afonso Alves, and Mateja Kezman score goals in large quantities.

Reporter Mike Verweij said The Telegraaf, “That is a great deal,” following Wolves’ acquisition of the Portugal Under-21 international out of the French powerhouse Lyon.

“Just hold off on the specifics. Lyon did make a 15 million euro offer, but that sum was accumulated through various bonuses. That wasn’t a fantastic agreement because they had to win the title of champions (of Ligue 1).
