Rashford dropped then?
With about a 1/4 of the talent?
Can't wait to see our SAM attacking machine starts (Sancho Antony Martial)
Elanga.
Right.
100m Euros, feck me that's a lot of money OK it's not mine, but the pressure on the player to live up to the price tag will be enormous.
Yes. That what happens at a top club who aim to be competitive.
If he is good enough and rises to the challenge, he will get back into the team.
Hopefully he gets minutes against Leicester. I want him starting against Arsenal.
And on ETH to make this one work. You saw the amount of questions he got about subbing off Martinez at HT.
Absolutely bonkers money for a player most Ajax fans don't seem to rate that highly (i.e. as a world-class player in the making) but he certainly seems like a player to get you out of your seat. Excited to see him play.
Stop sending dick pics guys 401 error.
Edwin makes sure to leave the club he is in charge of stacked and wealthy before he comes back to Manchester, what a guy.
I'm not sold on him, but ETH choices (Martinez, Malacia) so far have been good, so no issue about the fee.
In all likelihood they are going to get Ziyech back, a better player for Ajax than Antony, and probably still currently. A lot of money on potential.
Brilliant Summer for Ajax really.
Brilliant Summer for Ajax really.
To be fair to him, I think he was referring to these players
Daniel James
Adama Traore
Bryan Gil
Callum Hudson-Odoi,
Steven Bergwijn
Christian Pulisic
Nicolas Pepe
Pedro Neto
Ismaila Sarr
Lucas Moura
Allan Saint-Maximin
Leon Bailey
Benrahma
Why do so many people insist on adding an extra letter to his name? There is no “h” in his name, it’s ANTONY not ANTHONY. 
"Last few days". What did he do for almost the whole window, and before? I meant this interest is way before ETH official took office. As Football Director, he could have assessed the squad himself and push to complete this transfer earlier. You don't need ETH to work on these players, and few bad results to come to this conclusion. It's not like Ajax asked 150mil previously, and now we negotiated the deal down to 100mil.
Sagas ain’t what they were when we was kids?Only 338 pages. Barely a saga at all.
Is there anywhere that we can see fans opinions? Curious
Yes also true, this could define his time as manager, make or break it.
Which of them is similar in style and ability?
I really couldn’t care less how much these guys cost. Seems like a brilliant player, and just what we need. Everyone moans about the glazers taking profits and then moans about them overspending when we have to in order to get the players we want in the same breath.
Yes. Sancho will competing with Rashford for LW spot, and I don't see Marcus winning this competition.
Rashford should be super sub for the last 30mins, more space to run into, and a bit tired defenders.
I would rather have quality players in the side than £200m with the owner's pockets
Well to be fair Ajax did not want to sell at all and he has managed to find an agreement so there is that. I think this far more than the Casemiro deal was the FDJ ain't coming so we can get another target signing. If FDJ had decided to come we would probably be looking at Gakpo and not Antony.
What does this mean for Amad, Pellistri, Elanga and Garnacho then? Expecting a flurry of sales to happen soon.
Finally. Don't forget he's a left-footed right winger. How many are world class or close to? Messi, Salah, Sane? I don't mind the transfer fee. It's a rarity.
Interesting! I hope he’s half as good as peak neymar to start us off!
Sao Paulo apparently had a 20% sell on fee. The is quoted as 84m. So that's 16.8m to Sao Paulo, meaning Ajax get 67m which is what was reported what they wanted back in June.
Ajax must be sick of the sight of us.
Yep, that's correct according to what's been reported since the beginning of the window.
Draxler, Juanmi, Kvaratskhelia, Szoboslai. There are lot more. Players that would be easier to get, not cost to much and would give us good attacking alternatives. I really don't like these mega money buys who usually let us down in big way.
As I said, I hope Antony is worth that money. But I'm not jumping from my chair yet.
Im so "meh" with this transfer. We could have got de Jong and this is what we end up with. £100 million??
€100 million. Mental.
They also said we over paid for Martinez, looking at how quickly he's settled and the quality he's shown, I'd say it was a good fee. Fans who seek out forums of other teams their player have joined can be an odd bunch.
Draxler? Is it 2012 again?
Garnacho will leave anyways. His contracts up next summer.
Amad and Pellistri on the loan farm from January
They stay until their contracts run out. The united way
