Still hope we get this done. Our right wing is shambolic.

football is a short career, if he’s being given a chance to double his wage and earn more money, why should he not be given that opportunity?
the whole reason transfers happen is because players want to better themselves whether financially or competitively.
United have given Ajax an offer which is more than fair compensation, so this is why he is angry.
I understand they need to find a replacement which is hopefully what they’re doing now, but to refuse this opportunity for him would be very unfair.

Desperately need a 9 as well though
No other industry works like this so why should sports? If someone wants to go and you get a fair offer, and we’ve presented an outrageous offer, then you let them go. It’s good business.
reality is we can't go a season with Elanga as first team regular starter. We are facing this if we don't buy. We also need a striker as Martial's fitness eb
So you are worried about him doing the same in 3/4 years time whilst we have players who are still here, not striking but walking around the pitch for years not putting a shift in. We seem to be offering Martial an improve contract to " protect asset" on what actual evidence?. Get Antony and been done with it. If they have money for martial, we have money for Antony.
True but I'd resolve the position where the candidate has the higher potential.
Let's see if they have anything to say after the match.
I’m not sure going on strike will work. Ajax know that it’s a World Cup year, so even a pissed off Antony will want to play and perform well once the transfer window closes.
He’s on strike until the end of the window/until a deal is agreed
Who wants them to be grateful? Though if he leaves getting them a 60m profit and helping them to 2 titles not a bad signing was it?
It’s similar to Ronaldo, sort of — if both players are still at their club by the 2nd of September they’ll knuckle back down for the season in preparation for the WC. Until then, it’s either on strike (Antony) or half arsed whenever he is on the pitch (Ronaldo)
I'm sure he'll return from strike once the window closes if he's still there but you bet your arse he and his agent will be working on a smear campaign for Ajax while that's going on. He's in the Brazil squad and may discourage future young Brazilians from playing there too. There's a lot he can do in four months. It won't be the end of the world for Ajax but it could cost them a million here, a million there in potential future earnings if an agent and a player are spreading bad news about a club. Negative PR is costly in difficult to measure ways.
If he's going on strike then he's a bellend. You can't enjoy the rewards of a juicy contract at a club then go on strike when an even bigger one comes along.
It's completely out of order. We want professionals, not entitled prima Donnas. You sign a contract, you honour it. And that goes both ways which is why I have no problem with what de Jong is doing, what Phil Jones is doing, or what players in the past like ozil and bogarde have done.

Wtf is this about?
I do honestly think on this occasion he genuinely wants to play in the premier league. I doubt it’s just about money
An offside call during the game?
WE HAVE GOT OUR MAN!!!
Done dealio.
Antony runs away through staff's backdoor, he's being seen as character from GTA, four stars of fugitive level, he needs to get to airport.
Shit, shit, shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Done deal hopefully!
Most exciting signing this window
Reliable?
I think it’s an ITK for Ajax who has appeared this season. Supposed to be very reliable
yessssss let’s gooooo
Sound! Just FDJ now then.
We will all laugh if it isn't to us.
Full moon, which to be fair Romero is as well.
Choo choooooooo!
Some grown men acting like kids who are refused their toy
PASHUN of football fans I guess.
Hand hovering close to zipper.
Pretty much GOD tier, knew much stuff a week earlier than the Tier 1s.
Chelsea hijacked the deal?
Sold for 99m€.
