Without even getting into the rest of it, where are you getting your figure from? They already rejected 80M Euros. They want 100. Thats what my entire argument is based on.
No it isn't. We want to add people to compete with Rashford and Sancho. 1 in and 1 out does not solve any issue. All our other wide players are unproven in a top league outside of Rashford and Sancho. We need the depth.
Agreed. You did turn down €80M though, which is close to de Ligt and de Jong money. I reckon if you negotiate you could end up with a structured deal on around €100M with 20M in bonus clauses. We seem incredibly keen on him, so if you are open to negotiate I think you can get a record fee for him.
And Casimero, by this logic.
Yep. I told you all a month or so ago. Relax.
Yes
Not if the Caf accountants have anything to say about it.
If Ajax accept bonus clauses as part of that €100M euros fee that is being touted, and they sell for that, absolutely. It will probably be done by next weekend. At which point we'll have to figure out who to get as a playmaker/central midfield partner to Casemiro.
I don’t know what you meant here. Quite a loaded message tbh
What Ajax do is their prerogative. Having already lost a few good players I can understand them being reluctant to let anyone else go. Plus we're an easy mark, so could easily be squeezed for more cash. They're doing what's right for them. Fair play.
I'm suddenly confused by this post and the one you're replying to, what in the world makes someone "not a real Brazilian"?
Gakpo is the more likely signing as things stand according to the report from Whitwell and Ornstein.
I don't disagree. I just don't buy into the fact that Rashford being underwhelming in a struggling Manchester Utd team, in the premier league where the physicality of players is above most if not all other leagues, means he would not tear apart the Eredivisie of Ligue 1.
Doing this makes someone a Brazilian. You know, Samba - Jogo Bonito. So no idea why Casemiro isn't one.
I don’t think ‘lots of flair, real Brazilian’ is that confusing to be fair.
How disappointing.
Very childish yes. They should let Antony go instead of treating him like a slave.
Maybe we'd not have been willing to spend so much had we beat Brighton or Brentford
I’m not so sure now Antony is going on strike.
Admittedly I only watched him once in that game against Monaco, but he looked meh to me and eerily similar to Rashford in how he plays on the left wing. Even his defensive contribution was lacking. Here's hoping that was just a one off and he shows a lot more than he did in that game.
Should call Blatter, he will gladly talk about how footballers are modern day slaves. Probably throw in a phone call to Florentino Perez as well, he has experience with freeing "slaves" after all.
That's my hope too. Probably a bit more up front
Slaves don't get paid. Antony gets a paycheck you can only dream off. Moreover, unlike slaves Antony's got the best job in the world.

I think United are using the interest in Gakpo as a bargaining tool. Ajax do not want to sell the player this summer but Antony has thrown a spanner into the works by refusing to train. So it seems like Ajax have reluctantly come to the negotiating table.
It's a reference to Ronaldo, not an actual accusation of slavery
Oh god, that alone would be worth the €100MTweet

Adding 2 shithouse capable Brazilians like him and Casemiro really would make us so much more enjoyable to watch
Really been missing that fire and occasional mean streak in the side
I don't understand how they are any different to any other clubs in how they deal with us. They got more than the market value for both of the players they sold to us and now apparently want a record fee for another player. I don't see where this notion come from that both the clubs have excellent relationship like they are doing some kind of favours to us. £67m is more than a reasonable offer for Antony. They can easily find an adequate replacement with that kind of money.
