Okay but even if we have to wait a couple of years that's okay. This whole project is going to take years and he will be aligned, age wise, with the likes of Sancho. We won't be challenging for everything next season if that's what you're expecting
It’s totally dead now. Everyone is purely stats obsessed and running obsessed.
Surprised you say he isn't superquick.
Football was brilliant during this period, far more open and expressive compared to the compressed tactical elements we see today.
Is this not exactly describing Antony? he's already playing at a high level about to enter his peak years.
Why exactly couldn’t Antony perform a RW role in a Ten Hag system right away but Raphinha could?
Not really I love a good bit of samba style or trickery the issue is that the trickery is only appreciated if it both works and the team is winning.
You sure about that??Tweet

He's really quick, but i think he's not the fastest player. That's either Timber or Brobbey i guess
like Bruno. Him and Bruno together would be horrible to play against
so whiney
That's a bit too much.they all three have black mother and white father (antony's mother is black mixed with other things so he looks whiter)
Honestly I'd guess Kudus might be quicker than either of those, but according to the official stats it's Schuurs
Neres as well
Just want to respond to this again outside of the speed thing that stood out to me before.
I think your remarks about his speed are fair enough. But I don’t see world class potential in Antony. I rate him slightly higher than 2018/19 Neres and he now plays for Shakhtar Donekts
Antony has twice the technique and 10x the agility of Neres. Also a way better passer and better crosser. Neres is a better finisher though
We need to sign him, will bring back some of the excitement of skills and tricks to this team.
that's the type of talent, trickery and skill taht needs to be brought to Old Trafford
Yeap. But I expect the CB and the ball-playing DM position will be the more vital positions at the moment for ETH's United. Then finally a striker, depending on what happens to Mason and if we can off-load Martial.
He looks more technical than Memphis who turned out to be all tricks but lacking in actual quality. Based on the clips Antony looks quite. Not sure he looks as brilliant as people say.
Loved the look of Timber the one match I watched of Ajax. The way he drive out defence was quality. It's like having an extra0 CM.
What a time this was! Those Nike soccer ads didn't miss back in the day. "Joga Bonito" the "Secret Tournament", etc. I'd see one of those commercials and immediately be hyped to play. Still curious why those types of adverts are a thing of the past. It was wildly successful back then. I know myself and friends purchased plenty of boots during that time.
True. Everyone looks great on Youtube. But the rest of the stuff, of all people ETH will know his other qualities
I can't see us signing a RW this summer, and even if we do, I can't see us going after this guy.
Nkunku does make more sense this summer anyway. Would love for us to nab him and CdK from Brugge.
That’s true, but he’s far more experienced than those. They may be around the same age, but Antony has well over 100 games of first team football for São Paulo and Ajax, and 9 caps for his NT. Amad has played around 20, with around only 8 of those being first team starts (most for Rangers); Elanga 25 all this season; whilst Pellistri to be fair to him has around 80 between his Penarol and Alaves, but I think he’s only started about 10 of those in Spain.
If we are only to make 3 signings this summer, I think that would be a DM, CB and FW/WF.
I would say if we are to make only two signings I will make Rice / Tchouameni and Raphinha / Antony
I think we will see a different Rashford when he has a proper actual pre-season. He should have got his surgery earlier instead of trying to play for the NT.
