Aye, time to step back. No way should he be this much, it's bonkers.
Screw that. They'll ask for 80m. That pinky and the brain looking mother fecker will be grinning like a cheshire cat.
Yeah that’s my take but plenty here with an axe to grind against Ajax for some reason.
Let this sink in…we are offering what is UNIVERSALLY recognised as being double what a player is worth because a) we have no alternatives b) we have left it so late c) we have been focusing on another deal where…get this…you will love this bit…the guy openly told everyone he didn’t want to leave the club of his dreams!
you couldn’t make it up and even if the deal goes through…it’s a damning reflection of our transfer strategy once again.
You can find hundreds of players like him in brazil
Come on, why do people keep saying this? It's literally no different to any other club we deal with. They get us to overpay for their players or they don't sell. Where is the good feeling between the clubs? They sure as hell aren't doing us any favors with this supposedly "good feeling".
That's why it's 50/50 whether he starts for their national side at the world cup a couple months from now
Exactly this. We left it too late whether we sign him or not. On the job training for those at the helm.
Are you only just realising this club doesn't operate in a shrewd way?
100m and lets do the deal
Very true!
I agree with the stance Ajax are taking here even though it is irritating.
I still think this will get done at 100
Feck Ajax! Hopefully we end up hiring VdS in the near future and the club goes to shit. Is this a massive overreaction? Yes. Do I give a feck? Absolutely not.
Because we have (and have had) players and manager connected to Ajax, I suppose there's an assumption we have a good relationship with them. I used to think that too, but I'd argue we have a better relationship with Real Madrid over any other club.
Couldn’t agree more.
Feelbad for Antony but ajax are Absolute clowns.
He was way overpriced anyway but to turn down 90 million is pure stupidity on their part.
Just walk away and leave them with a player that clearly doesn't want to be there.

This is ridiculous. Ajax are clearly trying to take advantage of the desperate situation at Utd. We should go again for him in January. Sign a pre contract or some shit like that.
Feck Ajax and walk away!

vd Sar: 100 mil fixed and we can be friends again!
Time to walk away from this see if they can get someone cheap in one week.
He’s gone on strike effectively.. what more do you want from the poor guy??
an instagram post of his fingernails, covered with shit, and captioned “your move, edwin”
Greedy bastards!
No wonder Antony is on strike.

Probably this is a blessing in disguise and helps development of Garnacho and Elanga. Just thinking positives here. Let’s put our money in getting a CF
Well, Martial is perma crocked, so we need someone. Shame we waited so long to try get Antony, but that price is bananas. Just get Depay I guess.
Hopefully he doesn't sign a new contract and we can pick him up for free in 2/3 years - I'm sure this is something the player and his agent would have put to the club.
Madness to turn down that kind of money and we should walk away.

to think I actually felt a bit sorry for them that their team was gutted this summer
screw them.
screw them.
Feck this guy
You’re right but if you are the player in all this you feel let down and probably do want to blame someone.
I’m not saying Antony is in the right but he seems to think Ajax should let him go if a fair offer is made (will anyone argue that €90m is not fair?). I don’t know what Ajax tell these young talents when they sign but you have to think the next talents might hesitate to go there after this.
So if it’s anybody’s fault, I think Ajax take the most blame. I feel for the player a bit. I suppose he’ll have to knuckle down and play.
Still can't understand why a formal transfer request hasn't been given to the club from him yet. Seems like that shod be step one. Then sit out training/games.
they should be over the moon that a club like ours even wants one of their players. it should be such an honour to them that they should consider disbanding the club as it’s all downhill from here. i can only imagine it’s taking this long as when edwin answered the phone and heard “hello edward, this is jon murtough,” he immediately swooned and passed out and they haven’t been able to bring him round since.

Yep. Hope the cnuts don’t even get past the CL group stage. Although manage to take points off Pool first.
I think he already has sat out training. His agents have also met with their management several times to force a move.
100m should do it.
Who are these magical CF’s you’re thinking about? Elanga? Please…
We genuinely should have just bought their whole club for 400-450m or so, rather than keep going back offering ludicrously high sums
It's a good point that maybe the have to shoulder some blame in regards to Antony, I would agree that he would be right to feel hard done by. But towards United, I don't see anyone at fault here, they don't owe us anything and we don't owe them paying whatever they seem appropriate
Lolz at Ajax thinking they are a big club bless them.
Selling clubs sell.
We will get him eventually. Probably for cheaper next summer, similar to Sancho.
But I still think 100m should do the trick.

But they are?
You have so much material to work with in here you could create your magnum opus.
Antony isn’t going to be in the squad again this weekend and will continue not to train.
Ajax have ruined their relationship with the player.
