If he’s granted his wish to join us he must come out all guns blazing on his debut.

Whoever did is an idiot, anyone could have told you that these players wouldn't respond to Rangnick's all action, hoof it long style that was going to disappear in a few months.
Thankfully Ralf is also the most honest and open manager I've ever heard, and we learned a lot about the shambles going on through him.
Berghuis and Tadic are midfielders by nature.
Tadic is 33 and losing his pace. So he's better off as a midfielder.
Conceicao (son of) hasn't got much minutes.Played 2 games with the second team. Really talented kid but not first team material yet. His time will come!
Bergwijn and Antony are really the only worth mentioning wingers
We can also just play Rashford, Sancho, Elanga, Pellistri, Amad right wing, no need to sign Antony.
You've probably got about 20 wingers waiting in your youth teams.
Its Ajax ffs.
100m should be the number Edwin and your board is looking for. Its just a negotiation.
Even the gutter press said our relationship with Ajax remains good. Why wouldnt it? We're giving you gobs of money for your players.
Ten Hag clearly disagrees
Urgh, media with rounding up figures. It's actually £84,812,124.96. Not a penny more

God always looking to make it look like we’re paying loads more
The 200k difference is important! That pays Ronnie for 4 days!
We really do have an entitled and arrogant fanbase don’t we? 
“We are giving you loads of money, how dare you reject.”
Like some of the sane ones here have said already, we are entitled to bid for him, ajax are fully entitled to keep hold of the player and reject us if theu wish to do so. There is no need to take this personal, it’s pure football business.

Should Antony be worth more then sancho? I don’t think so. Sancho was more established in a better league. So we shouldn’t be paying more then we did for sancho really.
Thanks captain obvious. You should work in courts.We really do have an entitled and arrogant fanbase don’t we?

If he does sign they will report the fee £150m to include bonuses, salary over 5 years etc. We are literally the only club they do this to.
Finished two points off PSV last year, and in most title races it's decided within the last three games. Huge leads are an exception, not the rule. The problem is that it's a two team league. PSV might spend far less than Ajax, but it's still enough to comfortably beat all other clubs meaning that titles are often decided by the results of the matches Ajax and PSV play against each other.
A pot of gold worth €40m for who ever comes out on top in just two matches.
Why would I do that when I've got your mom working for me?
And it's obviously not obvious to many people in this thread as they are struggling to deal with Ajax not accepting United's money.
Let's do that bet
OK but again your initial question was has anyone ever put in transfer requests, been refused and then still put in good performances afterwards? The answer is unequivocally yes.
Now, if the question is whether anyone in Anthony's exact position has done so (young player in 'lesser' league, I don't know. I don't follow enough football to know.
I haven't really commented particularly on whether Ajax are right to turn down such an offer or not. Realistically it's way over what he's worth and also realistically they'd have sold if this bid was earlier in the window. A bit of craziness all round really.
Rashford and Elanga have both struggled RW. Pellestri and Amad are not ready. This is why Antony is getting lots more attention than Gakpo.
We NEED a left footed RW.
I'm not talking specifically about South American players, I'm talking about young players in general. People ( essentially fans of the 7-8 super clubs) always say this whenever a transfer doesn't go their way.
Ah interesting, thanks. But then that brings up the advantages Ajax have vs an Arsenal, let alone the true giants.
Putting aside work permits, he's gotten 2 years of first team football (unlikely at Arsenal), 2 years of CL (not at Arsenal), trophies (FA cup in fairness in his 1st season) and an easier league to bed into.
I also don't really think Ajax are trying to prove any point. They've sold multiple key players in this very window, just as they did last window and the window before that. The smart money says they'll be selling multiple key players next window too. That seems to have been somewhat missed in amongst all of the mud flinging towards Ajax.
They really don't. Infact this was one of his major criticisms at ajax
Wrong thread
We need him
We've needed someone like him, a left footed RW, for years
We're in a cost of living crisis mate.
The league comes down to those two because they comfortably beat everyone else. It’s no coincidence the top two spending teams beat the other teams most of the time, which means the league is often decided when they play each other.
3rd place last season finished 12 points off the top, that’s the gap between these two.
Imagine us and City spent £100m every summer and the rest of the league only spent £10m. What do you think would happen to the league?
Fans in getting emotional over sports shocker.Why would I do that when I've got your mom working for me?
And it's obviously not obvious to many people in this thread as they are struggling to deal with Ajax not accepting United's money.
Agreed, thats my point for Ajax as well. One of quality.
Pay the money, we're going nowhere with Elanga in the match day squad.
And yes we need him, I just don't want to see Elanga play there again this season.
So 76m isn’t enough money
. Ajax aren’t struggling for money pal, we’ve give them like 48m for martinez already.We had one whose name rhymes with Bacon Pleenhood, but he fecked up his entire career this past year. So we needed a left footed RW for about a year only. But let’s not digress, this thread is not about him.
Youll not get anywhere sitting by and watching others pick up the players you’re too afraid to ask for
If he ends the window having successfully added 5-6 players that the manager wants then I’d say it’s job well done. Clubs automatically add extra cost when United come calling because they know that ultimately United will pay or their fans will moan.
Fixed
Yes !!!!!
I would pay 120m. Our attackers are not good enough.
Bump
