Exactly what I'm thinking, both were labelled a virus for way less
Have you ever seen an under 30 year old player sign a contract at a big club below 4 years?
He’s being a right bastard to Ajax.
I love it!
I love it!
Overmars getting me too'd really hurt them. Huntelaar and Hamstra are out of their depth
Haha wow, we literally said go public and he has!
just fecking let him leave

Keep it in your silly thread. Yeah let's ditch a guy who's been busting a gut to join United to chase a guy who has no desire to join United. Great!
I know I know.. but his agents could’ve thought of some clause
Baffles me why people are saying this reflects badly on Antony. It’s the total opposite.
He’s speaking out because they have tried to bullshit him in the meeting today that they don’t have time to replace him (despite him advising them in February he wanted to leave having fulfilled his part of the two year project they agreed on).
Ajax are looking very shady in all of this.
Yeah I doubt this would be happening. These guys want to appear strong, just making themselves look like clowns and will damage the clubs image for talent.
Fake it 'til you make it.
Can't we just send Amad the other way?
Ten Hag turned his head like no other
It secures a line of income in the short to medium term. A 2-3 year deal would be highly risky in a high contact sport where injury affected careers are not uncommon.
Not sure how they can keep him now given this public statement, he obviously has his heart set on United and are they going to keep a player who has no interest playing for them anymore?
Anyone who expects journalists to be 100% correct all the time doesn't really understand how the industry works. The so called "reliable" journos are those who have direct lines to certain clubs and agents and will give out info they are being fed. Obviously these people use the journos to force a certain narrative, doesn't make the journalist less reliable.
Romano is quite clearly someone who has a direct line to most top agents and they use him( and he them) to release info they want.
Free Antony.
Why would Ajax want Amad for one or two seasons?
What suggests he's good enough for them? These suggestions are baffling.

Imagine if we walk away from the deal now. 
We're in the end game now. No coming back from that interview from Antony.
I’m surprised a club of their pedigree is behaving like this and allowing itself to be publicly humiliated
They can get Amad as part of the deal?
Amad will get plenty game time and develop it'd suit him well there I think. We get Antony. Ajax get the cash and a nice replacement. Amad gets game time. Everyone happy.
I'd rather give it a miss for now at that price personally. Maybe come back in January or next summer
Interesting take. TBH they should have better planned for his departure if this is true. There's no reason Ajax shouldn't take this deal if they knew since February and June. I'm pretty sure transfer fees are going to crash next year.
Nah. He probably thought with a long-term contract Ajax could recoup a lot of money (as would Sao Paulo, who I believe have a 20 or 25% interest in any fee).
we may do according to duckerImagine if we walk away from the deal now.
I'm almost certain he'll leave, Ajax is just playing hard ball so the bleed United dry, that's business.
Hope the club does good by him and puts in another offer for all his troubles honestly. He's done literally everything in his power to manifest the move into existence.
The likes of him and Casemiro willingly giving up better situations and CL footy has been a timely reminder of the magnitude of the club and its remaining pull even with our downturn in recent years

A big club should always control the narrative
Ajax have let this explode and it’s now totally out of their control.

Ronaldo right now I couldn’t give a shit about I actively want him to go. Pogba I was slightly annoyed about and Ronaldo back in 09 I was devastated but this isn’t Utd we’re talking about it’s another club so I couldn’t care less. Hypocritical but aren’t we all.
Just further confirms that where Romano has his inside scoop is normally with agents of a player rather than inside club links like other bigger name journalists have
This isn’t cool
I know Ajax don't want to do loan deals, but Amad for two years is surely a better short term replacement than heavily overpaying for Ziyech?
Ah come on, it doesn't bother me but it's a, player under contract trying to force a move. We all laughed at Kane in the same situation.
Ajax are under no obligation to sell. Why are they shady. If they decide they have no time to replace a player under contract that's their perogative.
why does there always have to be drama
I like the idea mate
I love Ajax as a club, and I get not wanting to be held hostage by a player, but I don't think they're painting themselves in much glory. That offer was a ridiculous amount.
How clueless do we look waiting until now.
