The European Lad twitter has no value. I can't believe you guys are following him, it's no more than following average posters on caf.
It's just an aggregate account with an ego. The news stuff he tweets is perfectly fine, but when he shares his opinion he's no different than Goldbridge.

He's been having a mare all summer. this was in June:


this is when he thought we were getting Gkapo instead:


He has just become ridiculously bitter since. Having a meltdown in his replies. I'm actually worried for him
Oh do share the meltdown…

Yeah, he is having mare. Used to be good account to follow but with EtH, Martinez, Antony signing for us he has been very bitter.

Question for anyone who has watched him for an extended period of time...does he track back? is he hard working?

Don't blame him, we'd be pissed off as well if one club would take our manager and 2 of the best players from the squad in one summer. Especially Ajax get their teams dismantled regularly by everyone, at some point you are just pissed off.

Yep in 12 months time we'll be back for Timber
To think that their manager came out insulting us for not being in the CL. Maybe we should set a billboard near that stadium with Anthony wearing the red shirt and which says welcome to the big boys league

Yes. He’s not lazy by any accounts he’s hard working great in build up play and will get it the ball into the box regularly for us.

Im very very happy about this signing.

True but when he keeps making contradicting statements on twitter, it will be brought up by people.

This Schreuder guy is :houllier:

He goes to Club Brugge in January only to leave them for Ajax in May.

He should say nothing about other people.

Happy that we finally got him. Couldn't care less about the price really. Just because we failed with Maguire doesn't mean that we shouldn't spend lots of money to another player. If it's the right player you do it.

Will it feel better that we saved around ten year's money since Valencia to buy Antony and we finally get a right winger :lol: ( it's around 10m per year )

As acknowledged by some of the other members on this forum, we shouldn’t be dissuaded by todays prices just because we bought a few expensive duds in the past. Maguire, Pogba and Shaw, and that was under Woodwards watch anyway.

Every day that goes by just shows how right Rangnick was about needing 10 players.

1. Malacia (left back)
2. Martinez (centre back)
3. Eriksen (midfield)
4. Casemiro (defensive midfield)
5. Antony (right wing)

6. ? (new striker)
7. ? (centre midfield)
8. ? (right back)
9. ? (additional striker - e.g. a backup/bench option)

10. ? (new goalkeeper to replace De Gea)

He was spot on.

At the same time, every single one of those signings made (so far) improves us. Can't fault the recruitment. These are the right players. I think we're finally getting it right. Right manager, too.
He was a fan of de Gea and I recall he said we need 10 new outfield players.

I spoke to Winston Bogards nephew Lamare. He came through Ajax & supports the club. He reckons Anthony will fit and is top draw. He did say the fee is ridiculous though.

Plays for Villa the lad does.

Insanely cheap considering how much lukaku, grealish and fofana etc. cost.
The amount of money shouldn't really matter to fans anyway UNLESS purchasing him prevents the club from purchasing another good player at another position that should be a priority.

That being said, you can't compare Grealish/Lukaku and their achievements AFTER they were transfered to Antony's who hasn't played a single game with United's shirt. That's a conversation you'll have at the end of the season. And if you take Grealish's and Lukaku's seasons before they were transfered, they are miles ahead of what Antony ever achieved. He's far younger though so there's still a lot of room for improvement. It could be a very good deal, or a very bad one, nobody knows and you can only hope ETH and the board know what they are doing so he delivers. It's their jobs after all so it's logical to assume they know better than us folks sitting on our couch. Not always the case though.

Heres a little foreshadowing for you lads :lol:

Ajax is run by women. Who would have thought?

That's cute coming from a CEO who gave his mate a raise after finding out he was harassing female employees. Posting a photo of Overmars is incredibly tone deaf.

GK and striker are the 2 biggest issues now. Replacing Ronaldo with Memphis or Morata would fit very well for a few years and be achievable. GK the big one for next year. GK, RB and deep playmaker will probably be the only 3 transfers next summer.
No, we need a top striker next summer. Someone like Memphis is just a handy stop gap to get us through this season.

I have a bad feeling about this transfer. I think he's talented, but he's nowhere near a sure bet. He could be the next Maguire.

Yeah it's pretty bizarre :lol: "Hey look what this random nobody said".
Yeah if only people had Telegraaf subscription and understood Dutch to get all the news from Netherlands. Surprising isn't it, aggregator account has good following on twitter.

Never doubted Rangnick for one second, we could see it was near enough impossible to improve the side without huge financial investment.
What happened after hisverdict was widespread petulance from within the squad at which point he’d already lost the dressing room completely.
