Even if he gets registered, he wont play on Thursday.. He hasnt trained for over a week... Dont think he starts against Arse either.. bench at best.
Bench is fine. Comes on, gets past the first man. Crowd cheers. Passes the ball to Rashford. Crowd cheers. Narrow miss. Crowd go mental.

Then missed pass. Missed long range shot. Caf implodes and say he's shite. Souness wanks himself into a coma. Niall has to press the reset button on our brain chips but they don't work anymore because BT can't be arsed fixing the network. Caf gets apoplectic as Antony messes up another pass.

Then he dinks a cheeky little through ball for Fernandes to give it the ol' top bins smasharoo and we get five pages of people saying "Goal!" or "wowzers!". All is forgiven except for someone saying that we should've bought Hazard instead because his stream is five minutes behind.

I guess no one is going to talk about €60m spent by west ham for Paqueta.
Antony is going to be worth every penny and more. So excited! Buzzing to see him play

He has a very good work ethic and knows how hard ETH expects him to work. Most of our squad have been playing in the PL for years and they have not got very good intensity and arguably struggle with the intensity. He definitely won't be on the lower end of the intensity scale within the squad.
I meant more in terms of physicality. He will find it more difficult to beat players. But he has a good cross and shot so if he just keeps it relatively simple by creating a yard of space and whipping it in he should get rewards.

Will be nice to have a right winger who is left-footed, not sure we ever had someone like that?

So some security guy sends his friend CCTV footage who then wants to impress some random United Instagram account and shares it with the world.

People are idiots.

So with Lingard and Henderson gone, that must mean it was Shaw leaking this.
All this speculation but you haven’t thought of the obvious culprit.

Remember a certain ‘pub video’?


It’s 100% Richard Arnold in a flashers coat, dark glasses and fake wig filming this

Ajax & United
Such an pointless comparison. I understand the reservation about spending 100m but this is a new level to be honest.

Raphinha agreed personal terms with Barca back in Jan. Chelsea came only when Barca couldn't make a decision. Arsenal were never with in a shout. Means, Leeds already knew he was leaving and set a price of 60m.

Ajax never wanted to sell him this year after 4 departures. The price was always 70m + given Sao Polo is also owed a certain %. Antony's preference was ETH and he stated it back in May/June.

Don't confuse United incompetence with actual facts.
Can this be pinned?

Why does our news always get leaked?! Never see anything coming out of Liverpool or city’s training camp. I’m sure when ten Hag came in his first rule was if there’s anyone leaking stuff then they’ll be gone.

Giggs played there on occasion if memory serves. Also, Nani was fairly two-footed, didn’t he score a couple with his left while at RW?
He was actually better on the RW, because he could cross really well with his right and also hammer them with his left. He was often shunted out to the LW because of Valencia though, where he opted to cut in and shoot too much, probably because he was less comfortable crossing with his left foot.

Ah, of course :lol: I completely forgot about Greenwood..
I think we all wish we could forget...

But Antony, feck yes. If that's the end of our window (Ronnie permitting) then I'm really happy with that. It's more than I expected us to do to be honest.

But do you frequent the Liverpool and City forums looking for leaked news?
