So everyone gets to leave but the player bringing in the largest offer the club will ever receive, I'm sure that'll go down well...

This manager needs to learn his place.
It’s someone in the mould of Frank Ribery. Wouldn’t be against that)The pace, teamwork and strength of Valencia with the skill, dribbling, shooting and passing of Nani
He's a nobody enjoying his 15 minutes.
Ajax hired some idiot to replace ten Hag. The guy is trying to cripple the best transfer in Ajax history. Doesn’t he understand that the balance sheet is more important than a no-name manager’s plans?
He gives Kompany a run for his money when it comes to weird head shapes that's for sure
Bless the B-Tec Ten Hag, he’s trying so hard.
I am pretty certain he doesn't really have a say and just playing a game to the media.
He won't have much of a say in reality. It's in his interest to say these things even if he's not the guy calling the shots.
No offence and disrespect to your team but when a club as big as us come and offer ridiculous money for one of your players then they aren’t gonna reject it. Would you say he’s worth 80m? I mean what did you pay for him was it 20m? Obviously you have sporting ambitions but they obviously don’t match Antony’s otherwise he wouldn’t be refusing to train to force through a move, it’s just the lure of the premier league and a giant club, that’s why a few players will leave CL clubs to join us in the Europa league.
I’ve seen a funny tweet - it says with Antony, we will be able to field 3 Antonys at a time in attack:
(Antony) Elanga - (Antony) Martial - Antony himself
(Antony) Elanga - (Antony) Martial - Antony himself
Bit late on that one my friend!
People need to stop with this entitled bullshit. Ajax have every right to reject any offer we present, whether it's €100m or €1000m. The player is under contract with them, and they've already lost 5 first team players this window. It should be easy to understand why they're very reluctant to let another one go. They don't owe us anything.
sorry?
Tony stays!
Antony, Anthony and Anfernee.
…which part…?
Well if this falls through…I’d take Asensio before Gakpo. Really don’t think much of the PSV kid.
Can someone tell me our hit/miss ratio with players from the Dutch league?
This may help in general in terms of big transfers from that league. Although this would be the biggest of the lot.

The name Anthony/Antony will become to us what Gabriel is to Arsenal
Its gonna be Depay and Asensio isnt it?
fecking hell I can't believe we signed Blind 8 years ago!
Hits:
Stam
Van Nistelrooy
Park
Blind
Miss:
Van der Gouw
Buttner
Pereira
Chong
Memphis
Fosu-Mensah
Van de Beek
Looks more miss than hit until you take into account that Malacia and Martinez are going to be great signings and Stam, RVN and Park were so, so good that it outweighs all the others.
If this falls through, I'm hoping for a loan from somewhere. Get him next summer, don't spend big on a player that means we won't get him next year.
I do think the fee is ultimately too crazy, and that Ajax will ultimately say yes and Chelsea will end up folding with Ziyech and selling him for a more reasonable fee... But we'll see. It'll run til deadline day.

A bit 50/50
Park and Van Nistlerooy were ace.
Depay and Buttner not so much.
Can't think of anymore but feel welcome to help jog my memory.
Edit/ Someone beat me to it
I feel these don’t hugely count as they were youth players, it wasn’t a case of a player performing well in the Dutch league and not being able to transfer as they were also quite good youth players for us
FTFY
Edwin Van Der Gouw was a decent number 2
You missed my edit
Van der Gouw shouldn't be on the miss list. He was a very reliable and solid back up.
Think VDS gets involved in this and we’ll agree a deal. Not a chance they turn down the money we’re offering. The managers obviously gonna say that.
Definitely.
100%. Levels above Martin fecking Dubravka.
Thanks. Very hit and miss but I guess this might be the case for any league if you look closely. Lots of good players in there for sure.
Yeah, I think it’s about 50/50 from the league. If you only look at Dutch players it’s even better.
Van der Saar
Van Persie
Van Der Gouw on a miss list? Wash your mouth out.
Its gonna be Depay and Asensio isnt it?
Well that would represent an upgrade over this poundland Ziyech anyway and would cost a lot less.
Can Antony go on a full-scale strike to influence Ajax?
Yeah that's a very fair point. He asked for players from the Dutch leagues and none of those 3 played a senior minute in it.
