And there it is. 100m.

As predicted.

Is this hamster feller an insider or something? Impressed that he broke the news before any of the usual big guns.
Dutch journo during matchday when a lot of big players at Ajax are all at the stadium. Not a shocker it's a Dutch journo that'll get a scoop given the situation.

Will admit I didn't but thought we are finally getting that player to control games in midfield
Eriksen is decent in the role and next to Casemiro can form a good partnership. Then casemiro next to Fred can be a good partnership too as they are for Brazil. Its a stop gap, but the DM and RW were more important.

Absolutely. But on the flipside if he confirms something its 100% true. He gets his confirmations straight from the club IMO.
Yes he basically confirms what we already know - which is why for transfers he's not really that important

The likes of Ornstein usually break news which is good he's confirming the hamstralaar tweets

99 million for 8 goals and 4 assists in the Dutch league. Bargain of the century!
You poured scorn on the Martinez and Malacia deals too from memory so hopefully you’re wrong again! (Appreciate early days but both look decent).

In terms of fee we are where we are. In a window where Nunez cost €100m early on from the Portuguese league, and the likes of Fofana who isn’t even a full international yet with barely any senior level experience, is going for €89m, it’s easy to see why the fee for Antony is where it is.

When you factor in they’ll be ad-ons to achieve, his age, his position (you pay more for forwards) and the fact he’s one of EtHs number one targets in a key position we need I think the fee is about right.

€100m including add-ons this club of ours is really, really, really dumb :lol:
That’s what he was worth to Ajax.

And you’re not going to find too many young, talented left-footed wingers - especially one with an already established relationship with the manager.

So once again Utd caved in demands and caved in. This club never learns. No wonder the clubs always take advantage of Man Utd.

You say this, but in a market where Chelsea have apparently offered £25m + Gallagher and Broja (reported at £85m value) for Anthony Gordon, is it really that crazy?

And also because we left it too late. Either pay up or go after the kid who couldn't even put away Rangers

You in an alternative reality:

God damn cheap skate Glazers, 85 million isn't even that much for a Brazilian international winger.
