Great from Scholes, that. This is how Barca and Real legends move when they want a player.

Yeah I know what he means, United is obviously a step up but wording it like that is pretty insulting.Paul Scholes is a genuine idiot tbh. As a United fan I cringe pretty much evetytime he opens his mouth. Much preferred him when he was just an incredible footballer who never spoke to the press.
As for Ajax, we could only dream of being so well run. Incredible football club that deserve nothing but respect.

It's an arrogant thing to say. Your ex-teammate is still a part of that set up, and I'm sure ETH is still fond of that club. He shouldn't disrespect them like that.Tweet

I have this guy at work that has these funny backhanded compliments when he talks about people at work. (directly translated from Norwegian)and then insinuated they are not a real/proper club. Prefacing a rude statement with "I don't want to be rude here, BUT ..." doesn't make it any better.
Yeah coming across as a bellend there. Disrespectful, arrogant, and embarrassing.Such an arrogant and ignorant thing to say.
I wonder what his caf username isYeah coming across as a bellend there. Disrespectful, arrogant, and embarrassing.
Why would they wna ta player like that, he failed to impress the last two seasons, why would they be in for him and not other 15 targets they closely follow and think it's better fit. Diallo is lazy footballer, people don't get it when they see how good his touch and passing can be but on top of being physically weak, he rarely press and win the ball. These kind of players won't go far in modern football.Just give them the Amad Diallo. He’s not going to get his chances and being used in here if we get Antony anyway.
I'm sure fans know better than professionals. Fans are always right.Such an arrogant and ignorant thing to say.
Laffin.I will.
Nice screenname. Where did you get that from? Also feeding you names I see.
Brobbey was a failure at RB Leipzig and they still signed him because they think he has talent to be developed at Ajax. Amad still has talent and potential, and I’m sure even Ajax would be interested if we offer the player to them.Why would they wna ta player like that, he failed to impress the last two seasons, why would they be in for him and not other 15 targets they closely follow and think it's better fit.

Don't think he's the profile of an Ajax player..
Correct. When the "professional" is question in someone like Scholes, Redknapp, Merson etc, the fans are almost always right if they simply say the opposite.I'm sure fans know better than professionals. Fans are always right.
Don't think so. We have just signed a couple of talented South Americans. Would rather give them a chanceBrobbey was a failure at RB Leipzig and they still signed him because they think he has talent to be developed at Ajax.

Scholes just added 5m to the price there
So you shouldn’t have any issue of selling Antony in the last minute then since you have replacement already. Just accept it the offer. €90m is enough.Don't think so. We have just signed a couple of talented South Americans. Would rather give them a chance
One is a dutch player who already played for Ajax and one is a player who played few senior games all over the place and none of the teams wanted to keep him with questionable mentality. I would even bet that based on this alone Brobbey ends up having a better career than Amad if he doesn't get a grip and works hard enough..Brobbey was a failure at RB Leipzig and they still signed him because they think he has talent to be developed at Ajax.

Scholes is a bit disrespectful, but there's no universe where playing for Ajax now would be better for a footballer than playing for United. Ajax play in a much much weaker league, and accordingly pay lower wages. Granted it's an iconic Club, but so is Benfica or Rangers. Playing in the CL this season is nothing to shout about since a lot of clubs from weaker leagues get to play there too. But for footballers the ambition is to play for a top club in a top league, the impact of this is massive. They get so much more exposure and much more money. It's a no brainer.Absolutely. What would they say? More CL, more Ballon dor winners, more golden boy winners, more international titles all while not having the huge edge Manchester United has post 1997 Bosman.
United definitely are doing it the like they intented to, I'm sure battling it out with Newcastle United for top 6 in 2023 is the way of a 'proper' football club.
Something like that?
Or just call Scholes a bit of a doofus?
Amad only went on loan once at one club. That Dutch player wasn’t wanted by RB Leipzig.One is a dutch player who already played for Ajax and one is a player who played few senior games all over the place and none of the teams wanted to keep him with questionable mentality. I would even bet that based on this alone Brobbey ends up having a better career than Amad if he doesn't get a grip and works hard enough..
They are not ready yet but neither is Amad.So you shouldn’t have any issue of selling Antony in the last minute then since you have replacement already. Just accept it the offer. €90m is enough.
Yes, it all sounds rather reasonable, doesn't it?They are not ready yet but neither is Amad.
Look at it From Ajax's point of view. We have a new manager same as United. United took our manager
United take our best defender
Bayern take our second best defender and our best midfielder
Now United want our best attacker.
We need to give our new manager a fighting chance
you’ll still walk the league and have insane funds for him to build his own squad.They are not ready yet but neither is Amad.

The best.Is he good?
Not sure we we will walk the league without Antony. We have lost quality players and Feyenoord, PSV and AZ have all strengthenedyou’ll still walk the league and have insane funds for him to build his own squad.
what south americans?Don't think so. We have just signed a couple of talented South Americans. Would rather give them a chance
Feyenoord have lost even more players than we haveNot sure we we will walk the league without Antony. We have lost quality players and Feyenoord, PSV and AZ have all strengthened
Scholes is a bit dim. Total genius on the pitch but not the sharpest otherwise.Yeah I know what he means, United is obviously a step up but wording it like that is pretty insulting.
I don't want to fight. I like your club and enjoy this forum.
So I am going to bail out and wish everyone a nice day.
Congratulations on your win today.
This sort of arrogance runs through the club and its so misguided. He's at a club that are playing in a competition that we weren't good enough to qualify for. Have a bit of humility ffsTweet
