You have got to be joking? Antony was the better player in the summer and he's the better player now. We did overpay, but he is worth it. And I'm not a biased Ajax fan.
84m to 37m though.

Haven't been that impressed by Antony so far either. Still early days though of course but he needs to start delivering the goods for us soon at that fee.

Very annoying if ETH wanted him and shares agents and things somehow did not happen, also was very close in the summer

Hope he flops if so but we better go get someone to replace Ronaldo, Gakpo scores and assists a lot and we need that

Meh, not too fussed about him. Always saw him similar to Rashford and we sure as hell don't need another like him. If the alternative is Felix then we are fecked though. As good as he is, he really isn't a striker.

What this means is, Gakpo's going straight into my FPL team over the donkey Nunez. Seems like they have given up on him after watching him play today. :lol:

I don’t like the Glazers but come the feck on.

Only three times in history has a club spent more money in a single window than we did this summer. People who expects Ten Hag to take the club to task over this or that we would be chasing after marquee signings this coming window aren’t living in the real world.

So... we got someone else? Or did we just sit around waiting for the window to open and are now very surprised that someone else made a deal outside the window?

That would've been Antony :(
Impossible to dodge them all :lol:

For me (as someone who has never heard of him before the WC), the match vs Argentina was Gakpo's job interview, and he failed to convince me he could make it here.

I hope we go for Almiron now. A hungry beast.

Was ambivalent to him, but now Liverpool are signing him I suddenly am gutted. :lol:

If he doesn’t sign for Utd it’s because we didn’t want it - he was desperate for the move - there will be a reason why we didn’t follow through - and I’m not convinced on what I’ve seen recently anyway that is what we need…..for Liverpool, anything has got to be better than that turkey Nunez they bought!

Either ETH doesn't want him or does and we just don't have the money.
I did speculate a few times that all the claims ETH massively wanted him might have just been paper/agent talk.

I still think that if ten Hag really wanted him for Utd then he'd have been signed.

He's not a CF and I've not been that impressed by him, so it's not much of a big deal.

Thank the lord. Kept out of this thread, but this guy never really appealed to me.

Not too worried, from what I saw of him he looks talented but similar to what we have already. I think if we’re going for a forward they could do with being stronger and better with their back to goal.

People saying rashford is better than him…he is only 22 and has been putting up better stats than rashford ever has. And for a side struggling to score goals, we could have used him tbh.

Ornstein reporting he favoured a move to Liverpool over United or Chelsea, so not much we can do.

He's a good player and definitely a centre-forward. This is undoubtedly a blow to our season and could be the difference between Champions League qualification and not.

I have no idea if EtH wanted this guy or not and I haven't really seen enough of him to know whether he is any good or not,
but regardless, I wouldn't expect United to spend anything on transfers while the club is up for sale.

Rashford would look like Cruyff in the Eredivisie

We have rashford and garnacho who are best at left wing which is where gakpo plays. Not arsed, would rather we strengthen in an area we need to.
This was my biggest concern, but ETH wanted to turn him into a fwd because of his size. It's sad to miss out on him, but as have too many LWF atm and couldn't chance on another lad who's a specialist there.

Rashford has already been pushed out to the RW as Garnacho is playing well at LWF, Sanchooo too decided to make the LWF his best position..

BBut Gakpo's G's & A's have been insane the last year or so, would have been excellent addition to the squad.

What a fecking surprise, I always think that he will go to United, since ETH favors him a lot. Maybe United will fully concentrate at top center-forward( and I think they will get one of them).
