Ten Hag wanted Antony, the scouts thought the asking price was too high, Ten Hag has an awful start to the season, the pressure’s on and the club give in to Ajax’s demands. Ten Hag gets his target. I don’t understand how anyone can argue Antony wasn’t a priority Ten Hag signing.
Timber’s rejection is completely out of the club’s control, we then move onto Ten Hag’s second choice, Martinez, who remains a top target. We bought who Ten Hag wanted, the club didn’t go for someone he didn’t want, so his argument doesn’t hold up.
