Maybe we should have signed Bergwijn from Spurs then??? What was his price? £20m?
Has Antony done anything he's not currently doing for Ajax?
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Is he better than Saint Maximin?
Serious question.

Id rather have hardworking brazilians like Antony and Casemiro than most of the start we have playing for us now mate.
Most importantly ETH rates him and he knows him,the boy is only 22 and will only get better mate.
Fans aren't pushing for anything, we're just reacting. No decent club should listen to what the fans say when it comes to transfers anyway. This whole summer should've been carefully planned but here we are. Any failure won't on the fans being happy about a signing here or there. If you look closely you'll know the main reason fans are upset is the lack of planning.
GET IN MUPPETS!
Does this finish the summer spending given the fee?
No, 2-3 more targets outside of Antony.
If Anthony goes for 80 mill I wonder what the likes of Bellingham would go for?
No. Did you see the games today. The Glazers need top 4. They know they need to spend.
Probably a little higher. Maybe £85-100m.
Man watching the games this weekend and realising how hard every match in this league is
I hope this happens! As much as I hate the price and I think we’re definitely getting rinsed here, but he’s a very exciting player to watch!GET IN MUPPETS!
Apparently Ziyech flew directly from Leeds to Amsterdam today to finalise a move, so looks like you’ll get your man.
Well are overpaying yes but the boy is a great player wich is a RW specialist,long time since we had that? Beckham?
Cheers mate!

How do you, looking in from the outside, feel about this transfer? You were linked with Raphinha before, how would you have felt about Antony?
Good question, Saint Maximin is getting better and better! He bossed the game against Man City today.
I think it's safe to say that Bergwijn will be scoring a lot more for Ajax than Antony. Assist-wise it will probably be closer, Antony might edge that. What Antony offers more than Bergwijn though is his ability to take on defenders. Bergwijn is more a speed and power merchant, whereas Antony is more a flair/technical player. My biggest question mark with Antony is whether his skillset translates to the premier League. He is pretty lightweight, I could see defenders who get close and physical with him, neutralize him.
*unzips*
Keeper, Right Back plus maybe another central midfielder to come then hopefully.
How do I feel about Antony the player, or Antony at United?
You know him much better than I do. However that isn't very reassuring to say the least. Hahahaha.
I think it goes to show just who is getting the best deal here.
Wish our players realised.Man watching the games this weekend and realising how hard every match in this league is
And owners earlier in the window.
Exactly.Man watching the games this weekend and realising how hard every match in this league is
Even with all this spending if we bought Antony, FDJ a RB and another forward, I'm still not convinced we would get top 4 this season!
It's given that Man City and Liverpool will take 2 spots. It's a fight between Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and us for the other 2 spots. I just think it's going to be tough finishing ahead of Arsenal and Spurs simply because they have a much more settled, organised and balanced team. It'll take time for our players to gel which may not be quick enough with the form the other teams are showing.
They kept Ole in charge for 3 years and gave him a new deal. There abut slow.
They're signing Dan James
Good player that you’re massively overpaying for is my honest opinion. I wouldn’t want Chelsea to sign him at the fees mentioned but I also understand sometimes needs must, hence the situation we find ourselves in with Fofana.Well, both
Would you have liked to sign Antony for Chelsea for the sums mentioned?
It's going to be a tough season and our players are still learning the basics of pressing and playing out from the back.
Unfortunately Newcastle are super rich now though, so I’d say £80m wouldn’t even interest them.
Yeah and after a bad start we would need to go on a run.
Even Newcastle will pick up alot of points mate, feel like the league is just getting harder each year!
Without ambitious owners we can be fecked in the future.
Im sure they will realise in 3 years time then when we are fighting relegation
Yeah they wont be selling any star players anytime soon mate.
Yeah, because Nunez is quite shit. If he wasn’t shit they wouldn’t have been ridiculed for it.
And Antony isn’t shit.
Valencia is the last one we got I think, which is equally as depressing, I don’t count Dan James by the way (he’s more of a lw anyways).
Wasn't he playing against Leeds like 4 hours ago?
Yeah. It’s less than an hours flight though.
There's a post above about how a plane left from Leeds to Amsterdam 2/3 hours ago.
