I agree at this stage but it’s pretty poor that we haven’t strengthened there during the window. If you look at the value we got with Malacia then it’s disappointing our scouts couldn’t identity a similar talent at right-back that would represent a reasonably small outlay assuming we could find a buyer for Wan Bissaka.

Aren't we looking at that with Dest, yes I know he isn't particularly rated much on here
 
At this stage just pay up and get the deal over the line. We need more attackers and Antony fits the bill even at that ludicrous price.
 
Think we can safely say deal won't be done in time for Saturday, so Leicester is more realistic timeline
 
I appreciate that page 213 might be a little on the late side, but…..is he actually any good?

I think that is a fairly easy thing for you to say when it is not your money. I want him so you should just pay up.
 
Dribbling, creativity, one vs one... Rasfhord is a more one dimensional player and Martial is not playing in the wing anymore on a regular basis.
Thanks. As an ex-EtH player i expect he's hardworking too.
 
Ok Joel, not your money either.
Ah, you think it is monopoly money that you can just magic out of thin air and therefore it makes no difference what you pay. I shall just assume that you are do not own your own business.

Not like United will pay off their debt with the revenue
 
Modern footballers are a different breed, forcing a move AKA watching the United game with your agent not training

I want Antony at United I just find it funny how players need to protest for moves and take to social media then delete things after as a "leak"
 
Apart from Joel Glazer’s cheeky attempt to create a red cafe account @Zlatans Knee, it seems most see a great player despite ridiculous price.

Give it 2 years and most talented forwards will go for 70m+ days of getting Rooneys for 30m are long gone

Silly money in the EPL now that makes 50m seem cheap

This summer over 1.3bn has been spent already.
 
Can you imagine a summer where we signed

Malacia
Eriksen
Martinez
Casemiro
Antony
FDJ

obviously we haven’t concluded the last two on the list but my mind would be blown if it works out that way
That would be a huge upgrade on

Pogba
Matic
Mata
Lingard
Cavani

That's what you'd call a team refresh!
 
Have no opinion of the player at all as I can't recall seeing him play but what will he bring that the likes of Rashford and Martial (when he's played more as a winger) wouldn't bring? That's not a negative question, i'm genuinely curious about what this guy will bring to the table.
I'm sure other have put you in the know but did they remind you what the manager said about squad quality?

It's a long season we can't rely on only four(Ronaldo, Martial, Rashford and Sancho) senior attackers all season battling for three places, we need depth not just that depth in quality so when you take off anyone the quality remains almost the same this would help give us the age deep into the season when fatigue and injuries start to take it's toll.
 
Couldn't give a feck about the price tbh. Yes, it may impact spending in the upcoming window but Ten Hag imo is the manager to take us back to the next level and he very clearly rates Antony. Antony's dribbling, link-up etc. are ridiculously good, yes he could improve his end product and I'm sure he will do. He's only 22. Worst case, he makes us so much better at progressing the ball which is an issue of ours and so much more entertaining to watch.
 
Oh yeah.
Actually forgot we signed Casemiro :lol:

I see Antony wears 11 (Greenwood :nervous:) and he wore 18 and 20 (Dalot) for Brazil.

Don’t think I’d want him starting with the 7.
Sancho will get 7 when Ronnie fecks off I’d imagine. Greenwood’s number should be available. FDJ will get 21.

plus is Phil leaves, Varane could take 4 freeing up 19 for Gakpo.
 
They can all wear whatever they want or is available as long as they perform on the pitch. Hell let Antony wear #3 to be vacated by Bailly if he so wishes.
 
This is the Greenwood replacement. Shame it’s costing us so much but we’re very light, he looks decent, and seemingly wants to join so let’s just get this done asap and get him on the pitch.
 
Reliable?
He is the highest boss of football department of de telegraaf and columnist. Reliable.

But there is also news from Algemeen Dagblad that Spurs are interested in ziyech... would ajax sell if they can't get him?

Wouldn't be surprised if that gets taken off Greenwood to be honest.

No. 11 would be a good fit for Antony. To be honest, that number lost a bit of its magic due to its predecessors (Giggs, Januzaj, Martial, Greenwood).

Yeah certainly not comparing them but remember how Ronaldo lacked that end product here for first couple of years
