They went 2-0 down, Akpom scored an equaliser in the 89th minute and then they lost it in the 93rd.
That's embarassing.
So, I don’t know what he was offered here for a long term deal but let’s assume it was 30k week. I’d bet that Ajax offered him double that. And he wanted Boro to get somewhere close to the Ajax offer and we either couldn’t or wouldn’t - one of the two.I’m not so sure as I said he’s been a bit part at so called big clubs before and he’s done the playing abroad thing he was happy here he was playing he was settled.
It was crazy to jeopardise that.
We didn't offer him an improved contract.So, I don’t know what he was offered here for a long term deal but let’s assume it was 30k week. I’d bet that Ajax offered him double that. And he wanted Boro to get somewhere close to the Ajax offer and we either couldn’t or wouldn’t - one of the two.
So, Chuba gets his financial future sorted with that deal for his family. Easy decision really.
That's why his house in Thorntree went on the market, poor bloke was skint. He'd earned less than the living wage for ten years. Can't blame the lad for wanting to jump ship and pocket a few guilders.We didn't offer him an improved contract.
