He's shite but the loan is pretty much pointless. We didn't get any sort of fee from this, we're paying almost all his salary still and now he have less 1 body on the bench who "could" contribute something.

Also read somewhere couldn't remember where, when we tried to sign him back then, we already willing to pay over the price. But it was the great Edwin van der Sar the Ajax's CEO at that time who squeezed us more. Just wonderful stuff all around.

Even if he does well in Spain I don't think anyone would take on his wages so I'm not sure how we can even get rid of him

The worst part is that when you made this post I immediately thought of Pepe to Arsenal. So I went and checked his stats. So depressing how bad Antony has been.

1. Debut goal vs Arsenal
2. Winning goal vs Barcelona
3. Goal vs Liverpool to make it 2-2 in the Fa Cup (definitely saved us there)
4. Assist for Garnacho at Chelsea last season

I'd say that's his 4 high moments for 2,5 years. Other than that couple of goals in Europa and domestic cups and that's about it. Even if we paid 1/3 of what we actually did, it would still be a failed transfer. Really bad.

Unfortunately that was very early in his tenure, so most of the fanbase was still in the "anybody questioning the manager isn't a real fan" phase.

Indeed, but I was talking about the club. Early in that window I think the club valued him at around £40m. To eventually go back in for more than tice that because Ten Hag insisted on signing him was madness.

I thought Pepe was more of a flop than that. But looking it up he got 16 goals in his second season, hardly as bad as Antony. 72m is a lot, but if we’re adding him then you’d have to add Hojlund as well.

Worst signing in PL history for me.

Lukaku to Chelsea? £100mil for 8 PL goals, threw his toys out the pram after 4 months and talked up a return to his former club, forced an exit, and was sold at a massive loss.

Wait, what if you take G/A per minute per Pound?

Grealish has 0.004 goal involvement per minute. Antony has 0.003. City spunked out €22,5m for 0.001 goal involvements per minute!!!
