I just hope it is someone else that fall into the Dortmund trap for a change.Say the same for Haaland / Bellingham?

So are you using Sancho or Diaz as a price guide?70-90m is just the opening gambit, £50m would be fair for the market. So I imagine he'll go for around £60m if he does go.
Either really. Sancho was always going to be a little bit more expensive, his age, fact that he's English, his record. Also compare what we payed for DVB from them or what de Jong or de light went for.So are you using Sancho or Diaz as a price guide?

Diaz is also 3 years older and remember he's joining an already amazing side. Pretty sure Sancho would looks miles better in Liverpools side!A little bit?????
Diaz looks a better player already and he is half the price!
Up to Ten Hag I suppose as he should be able to pick who he wants and I hope he has a better eye for a player than what we have been subjected to for quite a few years now.
Offer Ajax VDB plus £25 million for Antony and also go in for Mazraoui on a free and Timber who’d most likely cost £35 million and that’s three problem positions sorted for £60 million and three players Ten Hag knows fit his style/system.
He'd be great for us. Could even do a part-exchange with Donny?
You’re wrong…Maybe I'm wrong since but for a Brazilian left footed winger he doesn't seem to have much of a "wow/skilful" factor.

The only intention of sharing such footage is to show he does have a high level of skill. While that is enjoyable it’s not the main reason I like him for our squad.Looks absolutely quality there. It gives me nightmares though - as I remember watching similar clips of Depay after he signed, convinced he was going to be brilliant here.
Let’s be really honest, how many times have you watched him play?Maybe I'm wrong since but for a Brazilian left footed winger he doesn't seem to have much of a "wow/skilful" factor.
Could be his rubbish performances in the PL. Possibly.What makes you think ETH wouldn’t want Donny as part of the squad?
He played well under Ten Hag - I’d imagine he’d be confident to turn his form around and use him properly. Nothing we have seen so far resembles anything like his form at Ajax. He’s been shit to this point anyway.Could be his rubbish performances in the PL. Possibly.
The reason those 2 have people who can't stand them is because of constantly not being available, endless performances looking "disinterested", shit work rate, etc. I was a huge Martial fan for a while, but eventually you give up on them if they don't keep at it.Looks like the kind of player I’d absolutely love, skill, pace, trickery! I do think for his sake he should join someone else though, there’s a massive part of this fanbase that can’t stand flair players and will hound him if we don’t perform as a team. Pogba, Martial etc have a cult of people that can’t stand them despite the fact they have been hugely entertaining players for us over the years. For now we’d be better with technical players with less flair that will rile up the fanbase less. Sad but it’s just true for now.

Raphinha will be cheaper and is almost an identical player.
I agree now both have genuine reasons to dislike them and want them gone. But even in their very best spells people were so eager to jump on them after one bad performance. The cynic in me can think of one other factor that will work in Anthony’s favour but let’s save that one…The reason those 2 have people who can't stand them is because of constantly not being available, endless performances looking "disinterested", shit work rate, etc. I was a huge Martial fan for a while, but eventually you give up on them if they don't keep at it.
I know what you mean though, flair players will always have their haters as they are inconsistent (like with Nani), but the second they get that consistency they win everyone over. And if they keep a good work rate off the ball, then people will cut them slack.
Yeah I would prefer him but either one would be good for the right price.I think Raphinha is a much more mature and accomplished player than Antony is.

I’m going out on a limb here I think Antony is the better player my only issue is price. But for a left footed young winger I don’t think we’ll find a better fit for a Ten Haag side (for obvious reasons).I think Raphinha is a much more mature and accomplished player than Antony is.

Raphinha would also be much more expensive coming from Leeds.
He's likely going to Barcelona for a lot cheaper than he would to United

It’s a small sample size but…

Antony in the champions league is performing at a higher quality than Raphinha in the PL and by quite a way. I really like both but I’d prefer Antony.
