OK, well hopefully that’s the case.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

if anthony was that determined to get ajax to sell him he’d be smearing his shit all over the changing rooms and screaming during any team talks the manager gives. i don’t think he’s as crazy about the move as some are making out.
This is Sancho all over again. Just walk away and come back next year. Get Asensio and Depay.
I'd say highly unlikely, Ajax just don't want to play ball at any price it seems
except for De Jong & De Ligt
Felix scored 15 goals and 9 assists as an 18yo for Benfica, before he got transferred.
Antony is 4 years older and never reached that level.
Again, paying that sum for a prospect is always a risk, but Felix was labelled a top 5 talent worldwide.
He hasn't been fully living up to it but remember, he's the same age as Antony still...
They'll be deadwood in no time, no thank you
I figured it out. He replied to an earlier post but deleted the quote tag (accidentally, I guess), making it look like his own post.
What does the financial director and 'supervisory directors' do on a day-to-day basis if being involved in a NINETY MILLION euro deal isn't on their list?
We can sit here and be angry at Ajax but it's just our own stupidity that we let this go until the final week of the transfer window to ask for their best player, and push for them to replace him.
They don't need the money as much as we think, they didn't walk the league last year and they have lost half their team already. They are trusting a new manager with little experience and need to keep what is left of their core.

Too expensive. We should move on. Ajax will want €100m for him. We can buy a new GK and ST (and possibly even a RB) with that money.
He needs an airplane banner flying over on match day.
Damn you! Just shut up and take it!£76.3m rejected?! Madness. I understand they’ve been decimated but he clearly wants to leave.
This is getting annoying. Can we move on and go for Neto? Except Wolves knows how much we have so who knows what they will ask for Neto.
Will rather play with Garnacho and Amad or Pellestri.

exactlyFor the prices quoted, they will be useful squad options for the season. This is a late stage in the window.
Yeah and put that money towards Erik's top target from the very start
Yes well one more attacker at least helps the squad with backup from youngsters.
Not my money, but I'd be so uneasy seeing United spend €90+ millions on a player I haven't seen for a single match
Has the bid officially been rejected ?
I can understand your club's (and supporters) point of view. My apologies but we are desparate. Hope we can make peace after all this over.
Yep according to reliable sources.
Was writing the same, feels very much like Sancho.
Not sure if Depay and asensio are the right options though.
Call their fecking bluff and go get Frenkie.
See how much we offer next summer when he’s refused to play for them!

Yeah absolutely no hard feelings towards Ajax over this. I think they're idiots rejecting so much money for Antony, but it's their valuation and they will bear the consequences of not collecting that stash of money, so it's fair enough
I wonder if our interest is so public that if we now decide to walk away, we'll brief the press saying so.
I'm sure we've done that before.
I'm sure we've done that before.
Ajax might actually do us a favor here, that's what i think personally. 100M is buying a player like prime Gareth Bale or Robben, certainly not Antony
I'm going by the numbers over at Transfer Markt, which lists both de Jong and de Ligt price as £77.40million and £76.95million.
Looking bleak for outfield reinforcements. Don’t blame ajax in the slightest for holding out.
We should’ve signed this guy on the first week of the window. Left it late and obviously Ajax would need to replace him.

It's a footballing decision though (to sell or keep Antony), Ajax is in a healthy financial state and do not need money desperately that requires an intervention from the Ajax's board
Not sure Robben can still be considered in his prime, mate
Ajax have auto response on their fax machine or something ? That was a very quick rejection
Ajax have rejected £90m !!! they are having our pants down.
Its not my money, but spending close to £100m, cant be good for the player, its like a millstone round his neck.
They know we need him, and they are fleecing us

Needs a formal transfer request
Are Ajax playing tomorrow? Antony needs to refuse to play

Well this feels like Ajax Robben us!
