Since Wan Bissaka is back, can we try Dalot as right winger now? He’s at least capable of beating a defender on the outside and whipping in a cross.
We can try Dalot on another team, hopefully permanently this time
Whether he’s good at it is a different question. But its still his “best” trait
To think that we were interested in Bowen from Hull at 25m a few years back but instead went for Dan James, probably to save a few million.
Also, this lad Doku who City signed, why couldn’t he have been scouted?

He's basically less useful than Ashley Young and Valencia were as RWs, so maybe there is something to him becoming a solid RB. But he also can't cross. No one will buy him from us so we may as well try what we can
Dan James does the trying thing better and is ten times the man he is
Who say that he didn't? I bet that our scouts are doing their job. But DoF and managers don't give a shit about it.
He’s not better than Sancho because Sancho is direct atleast can play a 1-2 might be better than Sancho in defense nothing else really.
Maybe so. Whoever is making the big decisions though just keeps repeating the wrong ones.
Don't disagree, just saying he deserves a small glimmer of credit for atleast working his balls off (unlike others) all game though unfortunately he's totally shit at football
That is something what makes me angry the most. 2 years ago our CEO said that we will not make same mistakes again. And we did exactly what we were doing before that. Buying wrong players for big money and giving them huge salary. Antony getting 200k per week while he was on 20k in Ajax is astonishing.
There’s nothing left to say at this point. Should be sold at the very earliest opportunity. Dalot would comfortably be a better option at RW. So would Wan Bissaka.
Felt ill watching him tonight. Those crosses after he cuts in on his left...dearie me.
Hilarious post-match comments in the presser from ETH on Antony.
Full on Turn Back Tony tonight. One point in the first half he had acres to run into and turned round and passed backwards.
Hasn’t beat a man all season that cnut

What’s he said?
It’s nice to see that some still have a sense of humour.
He deflected big time and talked about the team as a whole.
He was asked specifically if Antony was not good enough as he thought
Like Neil Warnock said. Antony wouldn't get a game for him at Huddersfield. Championship or League 1 winger.
Too one dimensional and has no right foot plus he's not even that quick. Ten Hag signing him was criminal and a sackable offence
He's not even the level of a Jermaine Pennant. I'd argue Dan James and Elanga are better. Even Andros Townsend who just signed for Luton (bottom of the Premier League) on a FREE TRANSFER I'd take over Antony and would give you more.
Just Dutch League rubbish. It's a terrible league. Please no more Dutch League player or manager signings. There's a reason every Dutch manager has failed in England.

We need to buy a Cafu or Alves type right back to play behind him. And then sell him.
Any question about Antony is practically checkmate.
- give honest answer (didn't choose this option), terrible mistake, massive error on my part, club would never have bought him had I not convinced them. I'll learn from it.
- back Antony (as he did), look like a complete idiot who hasn't got a clue and deserves getting fired this week. Not sure the bit about Antony being a fighter was wise. He might kick out at opposing players but he definitely doesn't commit domestic abuse.

Basically talked about Antony being a real fighter and then essentially staked his reputation on him being the player we need, which looks very unlikely.
Link? It might be fun reading back all the stick I got for saying he would be a bad transfer because of all the limitations people complain about now.
It’s impressive to be the worst Antony at the club when Martial is still here
Would anyone even pay £20 million for him?
That's the honest truth. He has no end product. His best qualities are tracking back, and keeping possession in the middle third of the pitch. He has no vision. He can't pass well. He doesn't know how to combine in the final third to create chances, only ever to escape pressure. And his only weapon is that shot of his. And it hardly ever works for good reason.
This is my post from 7-8 months ago. Even then, I was late on this assessment because I didn't want to be harsh too quickly on a new player.
How did people think he had more potential as if he was a young Nani or something? He has only 1 weapon in his arsenal and it sucks.
That story about George Weah's cousin signing for Southampton. This seems similar, how anyone looked at this guy and thought 100 mil, he literally can't beat a man.
Is he officially the worst signing in the club's history? Considering the price tag he must be up there. I can't think of anyone with less ability for that kind of fee.
Hard to say because we've had so many abysmal transfers that cost a fortune
I was about to say so. Think he is leading candidate for the title.
Someone needs to start keeping receipts in the Transfer Forum. Every time we make a questionable signing, the hive mind attacks posters who dare bring up any concerns.
To be honest he was pretty much in top 3 performers tonight. His shooting is woeful though.
We absolutely got rinsed by Ajax obviously.

Never said he was good?
I don't really like doing the whole digging up posts to get one over on people because we've all had bad takes (even though I may have done it in the past, though I can't remember). I've had some bad ones. It's just, that summer especially, everyone seemed to take any criticism so personal resulting in some pretty unnecessarily rude replies.
YouTube compilations don't help. I recall trying to convince people that he was a terrible dribbler who, on counters with plenty of space to run in to, slowed everything down allowing the opposition to get back into shape as an example, but I was wrong and just hating because there was this compilation of the odd time he beat his man.
I still don't think he's terrible. It's just he was never going to be good enough to play on the right for a big club in a top league because of his limitations. Like @Valencia Shin Crosses and @In Rainbows above, I've said the best thing we can do with him is convert him into a central player. @In Rainbows gives good examples of what he brings to the table (as well as the occasional la pelopina turn to throw off an opposition players balance to buy some more time and space) and none of his strengths (on top of his weaknesses) indicated the makings of a good RF. They don't indicate that he'll be that good centrally either, but there's more potential there than as our RF.
The signing of Antony basically defines ETH. Of all the wingers or forwards you could somehow spend 80 million pounds on, he would have been last on the list of any half decent DOF. It is staggering.
He’s unsellable and another player in for a 3-4 years of fee ride here
