Not only is this guy a complete flop and worth at the most 30m even in this inflated market but his fecking attitude is awful. I’ve just seen the clips of when he was asked to play LB and he throws a fit again and starts covering his mouth whilst talking to G.Jesus he did the same in the last match against Palace and got called out by Carragher
Easily without a shadow of a doubt the worst ever PL signing he’s fecking dog shit

Presumably ETH can’t have failed to notice his incredibly poor attitude to being asked to move to Left Back. Hopefully that’s the last we see of Antony this season and I can’t see the new manager next season giving him the same opportunities.
For all the talk about the "same auld players" letting the managers down, it's funny because - outside of Sancho/Ronaldo - it seems like Antony is visibly the biggest player in the squad who gives ten Hag the most lip and seems the whiniest. And he's his record star signing!
You say that as if he didn't notice his incredibly poor play all season yet continued to pick him over better players
The transfer of Antony will go down in infamy right up there with Alexis.
What a clown of a player he is. made the statement last week he's proving a very potential toxic element of the squad with his antics mouthing off covering his mouth to Mount in public, and yesterday has only convinced me more.
from him pulling the deathstares before coming on, to doing sweet fa on the pitch when on, to mouthing off behind his hand again when asked to play LB. Ive had enough of him. In the bin.
The squad is decimated with injuries, your lucky to even be on the pitch. get out there an do whatever job your told and give over

One thing which doesn't get spoken about enough is how terrible his shooting is. He's completely unable to put any power into the ball or take a power shot at the goal.
It's always a weak, telegraphed curler to the top/bottom left or yet another curler which is usually off target. He can't put his laces through the ball or generate any sort of power when he's far away from the penalty box. Every keeper/defender in the league knows what he's trying to do when he gets the ball and just waits for it.
Antony has so many issues with his overall game, i think it's incredible how some people at the club looked at him and paid what they did. Ten Hag must've been been really good at convincing them to sign him, because there's no way a proper DOF or even a fan who knows a thing or two about football signs this guy. No chance.

If you have a problem say it, don’t whisper behind your hand to an opposition player you little dickhead.
I would've expected the club to have photographers there and do this for them but fair enough.
Yeah it is an unusual niche and only part time work. The guy I know has also done some stuff for Van der Ven this season. I'm not sure if it's something the club endorse or whether it's via some sort of photography agency.
I don’t think ETH is very good at judging player ability/performance. Poor conduct seems something he’s much keener to punish.
Man's a caricature
Really not that big of a deal is it? It's far more cringeworthy having to listen to that posh kid describe him as "pants". I had to stop watching after 10 seconds.
We're going to continue being a banter club until he leaves. Something embarrassing comes out every week.
Our scouts did pinpoint just that. They placed an upper bound of around 20m on his valuation.
Not their fault the club hierarchy overruled them because ETH really wanted his player.
If that's the case that really just underlines our lack of structure around transfer decision making. Just out of interest, where did you hear that the scouts said that? I don't recall reading about it anywhere.
Edit: A quick Googling reveals numerous sources, including The Athletic. £20m would have been the fair price. I wonder what Ajax would have "settled" for - I can't imagine they would have turned down £50m, for example. It still would have been too much, but obviously less ridiculous. Our negotiators really got done
Don't have the link anymore, but some of our scouting reports leaked last year including the one we had for Antony before he signed
Yeah, it's a complete non-issue. You're always going to get some idiot with an Internet connection having a pop. Plus the herd of sheep who will no doubt lap it up and use it as ammunition because they don't like the player.
Ed announced to the world we have "war chest" to burn, can't blame other club trying to feck us. This banker is clueless and was playing FM.

This meme-fication and criticism of Antony is similar to Maguire. Sad to see honestly but that's part and parcel of playing for Utd. I'm not saying all the criticism is unjust but both Utd and oppos fans are so hyperbolic with the insults and insinuation etc.
As for this particular incident, it's means jackshit because we had the exact same scenario two months ago. He was even more visibly displeased and showed disgust when he played at left back against Liverpool at the beginning of extra time. Guess what happened when it came to game time though? Played his role very well, did his job and we won the game. Although Arsenal were in 2nd gear and we couldn't create anything, Antony did his job at left back as well as you'd imagine, no major issues at all.
He's no £80m player and he's been bad this season but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a Maguire-like resurgence next year under a different manager as he does have some good attributes. Of course, it's still a low bar because that's still not good enough but at this point, you got to accept what you got, especially if the player is at least putting his effort on the pitch.
Right, it's clear he has an horrific attitude.
Surely not. Has to be a parody, right? Right?
