Do it just for one game.
Do it just for one game.
You want a bet?We need a Antony v Nunez thread who will flop best
Absolutely insane money.
We’d get Son for €100 million if we went to Spurs with that offer
Levy is not observing us and wouldn’t put eye-watering amounts out there? Currently, they are in A1 position to take our CL slot and the benefits that come with it; do you have any idea how much that is worth to a club like them in terms of who they can entice and how it elevates their profile amongst sponsors?
Nobody is getting Song from Spurs for €100m this window.
Last three pages have been miserable discussions about the price. Stop it you drama queens the guy is class. Let's get it done and the updates flowing
20M balon d'or clause 
Biggest fear is him turning out to be another David Neres
That's the beauty of being a wealthy club, in reality we are only one good season away from being at the top of most top players or prospects lists. I think that sometimes we all forget that, it's like a save in FM where you take a struggling and strangely skint United, in real life United, Liverpool, Bayern, Barcelona or Real Madrid only need one or two decent seasons to be back on track. The fact that we repeatedly failed shouldn't be seen as anything else than abject failure on our part.
i believe he will be a shrewd buy and will bring poetry to our flanks, the likes of which has not been seen since giggs.
He's already much better than Neres, he isn't going to flop like that.
We would deserve it too, this club never learns.
Antony and Sancho nearly 200m Euro worth of attackers.
You'd expect Mane/Salah numbers for 200m lets be honest

Because they can afford to, every single one of those constantly make the ucl and win trophies, they can afford giving their prospects time to develop as it won't cost them too much while we're in the danger of missing Europe for the second season in row.
We can't afford such luxuries, for that money you want someone who's sure to help is get back to the top.
so Potential wasting a ton of money, we want players who could immense help us get back to the to for that money not prospects who may or may not flop.
that is too much. He is hardly 30-40m player.
I am more excited now than I was early in the window about signing him, not because he's better than I thought but because the alternatives were worrying. 100x him over Gakpo.
Young and bags of potential
These are the players we need to be targeting
Couldn’t give a monkeys about price. Not my money
I think thats nonsense. It's far to say the money we're seemingly offering is daft, but he's easily worth 50/60m.
£68m + £17m in addons.
It's a lot of money. Ten Hag will be bringing a lot of pressure on himself to ensure Martinez and himself work out.
That said, we are sorely lacking quality and character. If the manager believes in him enough to spend that sort of money, then I'm confident he'll be a massive improvement on what we have.

yeah. I guess I am in agreement
Like clockwork. The panic buying is on a different scale this window
Both were 26 when they moved, they were very good players, potentially world class but 26 at the time too.
Sancho and Antony are 20-22 at the time of their moves, it's different.
Sorry but who are these players that we can attract right now who aren't in the may/ may not flop box?
But we are stuck with them? Best we can get for AWB is 10m. That is essentially 40m in the bin.
But, I guess if people believe that money grow on tress then it is fine.
Not even remotely arsed about whatever fee is being banded about, desperate times calls for desperate measures. It really is that simple.
I’d normally agree but we have been linked to this guy even before ten hag took the job
It’s just annoying Utd didn’t just stump up the cash 2 months ago
For this price if he flops we won't be able to recover even half the investment.
Aye true
Exciting if we can get the deal done, and I do feel the chance of failure to be lower than usual considering he's a former player under ETH.
This is the type of stupidity I expect from the club.
Ajax were open to selling him for 80m at the start of the window, we thought it was too much a the time. A shit start to the season, and us not going for alternative options even when they are available and we now might spend 100m to get a player we could have got for 80m if we were just firm in our decision making.

Agreed. I've never understood the fixation with the exact amount we think a player is worth.
If a certain fee amount for Antony prevented us from bringing in Frenkie de Jong, for example, and then we brought in Antony but had to take give up on Frenkie because we spent our budget, condemnation of that fee amount for Antony is warranted under the assumption that Frenkie was the greater need filled. But if bringing in Antony does not bust our budget and we can still bring in Frenkie -- just assume they're all top players for this argument -- then why the fukc do we care whether we spent 70m and not 50m for Antony?
Maybe we're already spending Sir Jim's money?
Remember that tweet one month ago which said that Ajax want 120 mil euros for him and we all thought that it is ridiculous fee? 
Rashford for example doesn’t while Sancho who hasn’t been any better since he joined does. Rashford broke through and impressed under LvG and was also among our best players after Bruno joined when for a while we had a half-functioning team.
Coincidentally, wasn’t it actually you who a few days ago mentioned how Rashford should be earning 40k as he plays like a 40 k player. So using the same calculator what in your opinion should Sancho (high transfer fee and on much higher wages than Rashford) should be earning?
I get that some players might impress more than other under certain conditions, but Sancho hasn’t impressed at all so far for United or England. And good players can impress a bit in not so ideal conditions as well (see Rashford in the past for England and United, or Foden, Sterling, Saka, etc. for England).
VdB also got afforded the system excuse and only now people are getting that he isn’t actually good.
Now Sancho is a better player than VdB and he may benefit from a better functioning team, better coaching and clearer instructions, but same applies to Rashford.

We were saving money for FDJ back then though

It's still a ridiculous. But feck it, with the shameful displays we've seen over the Lash year bring in changes even if the fees are ridiculousRemember that tweet one month ago which said that Ajax want 120 mil euros for him and we all thought that it is ridiculous fee?
Hopefully this gets wrapped up soon
Who cares about the price, we can afford it and he could solve our RW problem for the better part of a decade.
Or, he might not. At which point the damage done is much larger than if he was less expensive.
It shouldn't need saying but the money we spend on players impacts the club. Of course it matters.
Thats assuming he lights up the premier league on fire, when he hasn't even done that in the Dutch league. Just cause we spend big money and play him on the right doesn't mean he will solve our problem. We have seen too many signings come at a big price tag and fail.
That makes no sense as we are buying Casemiro as well, and the total amounts to more than just a single FDJ anyway.
