Them, Real, Barca, PSG, Juve, City, Liverpool even Dortmund are good at it. But you’ve got football people doing the dirt there who know just what to do and when to unsettle players and grease transfers.

Sure, buddy. Sure they're paying...
Ajax has every right to price him out. He signed a 5 year deal with us two years ago. We know we are not the final destination of players and we accept that, but we are also not trading house that just wants to sell players on as quickly as possible. Ajax is actually a football club that wants to develop itself as well as it can and also want to perform on the pitch to the highest standards possible. We may not be Champions League favorites or serious contenders, but that doesn't mean we should just sell on our best players at every opportunity. If we feel like we need to develop the team more and profit more on the pitch from our best players, we have every right to do so.
They can have Donny back too if they want
Great video.
Of course it wouldn't be but we never spend money well so whatever.
That’s not such an unusual situation though, is it.
Try not to take it to heart, it's just an opinion and some peoples' interpretation - as well as some journalist speculation. It's all part and parcel of this hectic transfer window.
Premature or immature?
I think it’s done when the player throws a strop and his replacement is being talked about
Plenty do, when Spurs didn’t let him leave to join City fans and the media alike were admonishing Spurs for being too obstructive. No serious bids or interest has come in for Bellingham this summer — strange comparison. They’ll probably start next summer which is when Dortmund are likely to let him leave for what they’d consider a fair price.
80m from us rejected by Ajax
Neither is Sancho, or Maguire and AWB is barely a 10m player. We want players that are better than what we have and since we’ve waited about all summer we now have to pay top dollar. These clubs don’t need to sell.
Ornstein tweeted last night and was followed up by Whitwell saying that we had a bid of €80m rejected, which they don’t expect us to increase upon. In which case, Gakpo seems more likely who has been valued at around half that figure
Maybe you should read back. Early on in the thread the Man Utd fans were all convinced no one (including Man Utd) would be paying more than 50-60m euro's for Antony. Some Ajax fans who said it'd take at least 70-80m if Ajax were selling at all were laughed at. Now we've had Ajax rejecting an 80m offer.
Situationally, from a standing start or on a burst of acceleration, but he doesn’t have raw ‘oh my god, he’s going to roast me’ pace that you want somewhere in a frontline, preferably.
To be honest I was just messing about. I saw some posts from multiple Ajax fans laughing about how crap we are now (which is true). I haven’t read the whole thread.
and a striker who actually wants to be here
Because Dortmund have come out he's not for sale. Guess what, Ajax would be more likely to let Antony go at a price that you'd also consider a fair price as well next season. Why is it fine when Dortmund has that approach, but not when Ajax does? Ajax clearly stated it didn't want to sell Martinez and Antony this season. Yet you've kept chasing these players. That's why you're overpaying for them. If you're after players not for sale it's going to take crazy amounts.
Didn't train today after we had 80m EUR bid rejected yesterday.
Or McGuire
That’s the spirit - some really sad people around here
Man I forgot about ours
If he is joining us I hope he does well but he doesn't seem that impressive to me.
