We all know we're over paying, but who cares tbh? i'd rather have him than the money in the bank for the Glazers to steal.
Nobody will think of the money if he plays well.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

Yeah, a mistake by us to wait this long, I guess the opening games have made us go into panic.
Feels like this will get done for about 85-90m euros. Which is a hell of a lot of money. But at this point, I don't give a shit.
Its all being prepped. Its a no brainer for Ajax to get rid of Antony and bring in Ziyech for an eighth of the price.
He's coming it looks like 
No more Rashford.
No more Rashford.
Another Sancho?
Wouldnt want to miss out on Robben or Ribery early on

What's the update??
Another Sancho?
Once Sancho is playing in a functioning side he should be fine.
Looks like this is on the cards then. Daft fee, massive expectations, hope it works out.
Any numbers behind this? Every video I’ve seen of him has him destroy defenders from a standing start
As long as the player is genuinely good, I kind of agree. If the player is bad then it's an issue. Liverpool likely overpaid for Allison but I don't think that they will ever regret it.
He is skipping training to force a move. It’s nice that he wants to come but you could do without another potentially toxic player.
I still want FDJ even if we got Antony and Casemiro... shame there's a limit to spending
shame there's a limit to spendingHe is better than the Uruguayan Andy Carrol and he went for that price.
I'd prefer a more explosive winger who can blast past defenders and then finish.
I hope we don't bid any higher than what we have.

I think he'd be great for us - he's hard working and has loads of flair, which let's face it has always been something we've loved at Utd. He'd instantly improve our right side and Sancho can go back on the left where he excels. I'd then see if Rashford can rediscover any form as a striker (I actually think he is better there than left wing anyway) and rotate with Martial.
I think we definitely need a new right back though to compliment him - Dalot and AWB aren't good enough.
80 million euros though - sheesh. Still, not our problem, Glazers and Johnny boy got us in to this mess.

Pretty much. If he is awful and a flop then we will take some slack for it, so be it.
If he becomes an awesome right winger that we've needed for years, a fan favourite etc - who cares if we paid 20m more than market?
the biggest issue is making sure he IS the right player and won't flop.
I suspect because he is a very hard working and athletic, he will fit in fine. He's not a wishy washy trickster that will take his toys home.
He’s coming.
Feck the Glazers’ money. I’d rather see them get ripped off a million times over rather than see them pocket another penny.

I'll not pretend I watch any Eredivisie.
Anyone on here regularly watch Antony and think he can make the step up?

Just out of curiosity, Frenkie or Antony if you could only sign one?
Frenkie all day long.
FFP wise we should be fine and if they want to spend some we can do them all.I still want FDJ even if we got Antony and Casemiro...
He's not slow at all. Can definitely blast past players but he uses his low centre of gravity to better effect. He's no Bale, sure, but there aren't many of those players around anyway that are also quality in other areas.
This extra bit of spending for him is pretty vital tbh. Its the cost for us to replace Greenwood. Wouldn't have been needed if that never happened, but here we are. Have to act. Left footed right winger is vital. Antony has huge talent and has the potential to be like Robben IMO. Will give us a good rotation between him, Rashford and Sancho, with the bonus of Antony being a very hard worker defensively too.
Yep, especially from Verweij
Especially when it's blatantly obvious that Jadon has more technical ability, vision ans final ball than any other player in our squad.
Give him time.
Hope that we start performing before he decides he wants to leave.
Profit on the pitch.
This is one player that we need to keep for 5 to 7 years at least if possible. I wont have it that people are writing him off.
Its the clubs money
I’m still clinging onto the hope that we sign both and a RB.
Less dividends for them to take then.
Antony is plenty quick. Rapid over first few yards especially. We need a left footed right winger. There aren't many available with high potential, he has huge potential. There's literally nobody available with huge pace either who is a natural on the right. So it's a moot point. Can't hold out for 5 years waiting on a unicorn that doesn't exist.
Yeah that is not true at all. He is plenty fast
Less dividends for them to take then.
Amen to that
Its not their money.
City paid £100mil for Grelish. We paid £80mil for McGuire. Notts Forrest just paid £42mil for Gibbs-White. The money is insane.
Compared to Casemiro, i think £80mil for Anthony could be better value. If he hits, then we have a fantastic player. If he doesn't, at least he has resale value.
Apparently, he is currently on £19k a week at Ajax. We hopefully wont be giving him a stupid salary on top.
It he gets £120k a week (same as Martinez) and assuming Casemiro will be on around £350k a week, that is nearly £12mil a season difference.

They’re on the same route as Dortmund fans on here. Living in denial until the very end. Lovely
Glazers havent spend one dime from their own pocket since overtaken the club. Its our money with more debt putting on the club - not them. Just wanted to make that clear.
We payed 50 million for Martial in 2015. That's like 100-120 million in today's money.
The fee doesn't bother me that much. We're beyond banter now anyways.
