If Antony is the target, if it’s him or no one. Just pay up now, because they’ll rinse us in January and they’ll rinse us next summer if we don’t get it done this window.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

For all Ajax’s talk they will sell
It’s been explained before on the Athletic that if Ajax refused to sell a player for a big fair fee, they’d tie their own hands behind their backs.
Because the next teenage Brazilian hot prospect will think twice before joining them and they’ll ruin their whole business model

Sure, the transfer matters more in our failed window on the other side. Teams can string us along and ask for unreasonable, impossible prices because they know we have a habit of paying them. That disrupts our team planning by delaying recruitment, and sometimes pricing us out of a move by asking for a price they’d ask from no other team.
Whether it matters in selling is something neither you or I know, since United don’t explain why they struggle to sell so much. Given we’re so much worse than other teams, it’s not unreasonable to suggest there’s multiple reasons. Wages count the most but it’s entirely possible that we don’t stomach selling players for a huge loss; the high wages mean we get a lower fee by default, but the high fee we paid in the first place could easily make us hold out for more than their actual worth too. After all, it’s a reflection of how much we think they’re worth, which often differs from other teams.
I sense an influx of Ajax supporting newbies on the caf
pretty much. they’ll just wait until ziyech agrees to join then ‘reluctantly’ be forced to sell
Ajax might be a lot more willing to lose Anthony if they can make sure Ziyech comes back. They might even make money out of it, cause I don't think Ziyech would cost as much as Anthony is being quoted for.
Gotta try a bit harder. It's funny with Neverkusen, but Feyenoord won a title and two cups in the last ten years...
Just a feeling. Looks physically up for it and has the needed arrogance to play in the PL. Still only 22 as well so much room for improvement.
Or someone like De Jong, van Nistelrooy, Stam, Suarez, Rijkaard,Cruyff, Seedorf,van Der Sar, van Persie, Koeman, Sneijder, de Boer, Kluivert, Davids, Gullit, can Basten and Bergkamp looked like a star
Nice one mate.Dreams can be buy?
That's a pretty nice thing to say from a teammate
As the great *********** Gabrielle once said; dreams can come true.
The price is high without question but for me Antony's ability in the transition will transcend any league. And like I've said in the past, the best teams in the EPL are those who excell at transitioning play from back to front. It's why I've argued in the past about signing players like Chiesa over Sancho due to how they help in both the offensive and defensive transition.
Youtube clip to that song as the background needs to happen...
After this we need to splash the cash on a RB.
Dalot has to go.
Dalot has to go.
No he is a better backup than Wan Bissaka.
There won't be much left
There's no way back, they'll have to let him go. The lads refusing to play
I’m sure they don’t want to let him go
They will though
They will though
Yeah Trippier is mint but like usual the board cant see a good signing if it hit them in the face sadly.
Rewriting history somewhat. We didn't sign him because they wanted absolutely daft money for him.
He's also not that great, his dead balls aside
It was widely reported that Atletico wanted £40M for him at the time. Quite rightly United did the CAF's favourite thing and "walked away" from the deal.
1 Year later he goes to Newcastle for £12M
I mean we tried to but Atletico asked for far too much in the summer. Don’t know why we didn’t go back for him though.
What can Antony do that Sancho/Rashford can't? Genuine question.
That new Ajax manager is somebody I no longer like
You totally jinxed him
He went for £12M did he not mate?
Not in the same window we were after him though, was it? Maybe I'm wrong.
Give 100% in every game.
Can we stop paying 80+ million for players who have proved diddly squat. It's why we have such a shit squad.
