Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

[2 man midfield]

Edwin you fecking G

 

[Lecland07]

A new attacking signing is always interesting.

Let's hope he is actually good.

 

[croadyman]

Most exciting signing of the window for me

Just worry about him not having someone who is willing to break their nose to meet a cross, also still got concerns regarding our lack of midfield control in most games.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

That’s a horrible photoshop

 

[AlexUTD]

CHOO CHOO FELLOW CAF MUPPETS!!

On to the Frenkie thread we go!

 

[Nogho]

Absolutely amazing. Best window since Evra and Vidic.
Think this guy is dynamite. Looks angry and hungry. With Casimero and Martinez we finally got some cojones.

 

[BusbyMalone]

The three Antony's up front

 

[December_16]

Finally! Never in doubt

Why not spend a few minutes enjoying something? It's an exciting signing, you don't always need to be doom and gloom.

 

[Trophy Room]

Mental numbers, but happy to have him

Sancho-Rashford-Antony front 3 until we get a striker.

Cm time

It’ll be Rashford-Martial-Antony

 

[devilish]

Can Ajax decide if they are our doormats or Bayern's? Surely they can't be both or am I wrong?

 

[tombombadil]

Wow 100 mil euros ..

Here we go!!

Would do if we can get a CM/ST too

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[BootsyCollins]

I'm 50/50 on this

Nice of you to chip in, now we might be able to afford De Jong to.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

It’ll be Rashford-Martial-Antony

Rashford will be on the bench or a striker.
Sancho will be LW.

 

[TheNewEra]

It’ll be Rashford-Martial-Antony

Sancho on the left i think, and with Martial we need him to be fit/sharp

 

[charlenefan]

Debut against the Arse I would imagine

On a serious note, this was probably one of the main motivations for Ten Hag leaving Ajax. He had to rebuild quite a few squads, top players constantly being taken. Difficult to build a project if it keeps getting dismantled, less likely of that happening over here as he's quite comfortable to bring in his top players over.

 

[Adisa]

With visas processing done at glacier pace, there is no chance he faces Leicester or Arsenal.

You’re a bag of nerves about everything

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Who’s he most similar too in play style? Can’t say I’ve ever actually seen him play!

 

[Speako]

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

My guess is he gets an unveiling like Casemiro against Arsenal.

 

[ChaddyP]

Let's goooooo

 

[croadyman]

You’re a bag of nerves about everything

Will only relax when we don't have issues in first XI on the pitch, so be a little while away yet before that happens

 

[Judas]

I'll go against the grain and predict he plays some minutes on Thursday.

 

[Sweet Square]

haha ok.
In fairness I rate Casemiro because he did add balance to that Real Madrid midfield, if I remember correctly Zidane worked with him in the youth system at Madrid and promoted him right? I am curious to see how he does for us, and given our level any DM is better than no DM (let alone one with his record) so don't get the disappointment by a few.

Not to sure tbh. I didn't he have a loan spell at Porto but anyways there's nothing to suggest he is lightweight.

Martinez though, 1/10, blimey.
Still though, I'd rather the nay-sayers come-out with their negativity/assessment now, too easy to hit below the belt once the signing is sealed and delivered.

Yeah you might be right.

 

[Judas]

Will only relax when we don't have issues in first XI on the pitch, so little while yet

Basically looking for reasons to carry on whinging then? IT was never getting totally fixed in one window, don't be unrealistic.

 

[BlackBen]

Here we fecking goooooo. Really excited about him.

 

[TheReligion]

You need to temper your expectations then.

You don’t do a rebuild in one window

 

[croadyman]

OK just take some midfield control for now

 

[Glorio]

Mental numbers, but happy to have him

Sancho-Rashford-Antony front 3 until we get a striker.

Cm time

As long as Martial's fit, he's the centre forward. Much better in that position than anyone else we have

 

[mu4c_20le]

No emojis

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

So Thursday he's on the right wing against Justin ?

 

[Rightnr]

Main question - does he know how to dance when he eventually scores against the Arse?

 

[Red Rash]

Who’s he most similar too in play style? Can’t say I’ve ever actually seen him play!

I haven't seen much of him but from the limited I have seen I would say someone like Neymar due to the flicks and tricks he uses. Obviously not at that level but in terms of style.

 

[Acole9]

Here we go, here we go! Woop woop.

Well I mean on this occasion he is the main reason they will have to rebuild a new squad
