Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

[KirkDuyt]

His great game against Groningen aside, you would still be mental to pay 80million for him. He was absolutely balls against Fortuna fecking Sittard just a week before. He's amazing on his day, but so far unproven to be consistent in his brilliance. For around half this price he would be a great gamble to take, but 80 million? Get out.

If there's something the transfers of Vd Beek, Ziyech, Klaassen, Vincent Janssen, Jahanbakhsh, Berghuis, Ruiz, Afonso Alves, Luuk de Jong, Siem de Jong and 50 million other Eredivisie signings have shown, it is that it means feck all how good you were in our silly little league. It's a different sport.

I wish you were our DOF

That's quite frankly the club's fault for not registering serious interest before Ajax got their first team picked apart. Going into a season with Rashford / Sancho who have neither shown great form in the last 12 months puts the club in a position of desperation. United already got fleeced for Martinez. The consensus that Murtough is going about business in a wise manner will hit home hard when the transfer window is shut and the likes of Fred / Mctomminay are still running the midfield. It's intriguing to hear what excuse will come out the club's board when this happens.

Great, but we didn’t so that doesn’t mean we should go spend 80 now.

We as fans go from decrying a lack of investment one second to criticising too much money being misspent on players the next. We need investment but smart investment, not reactive and damaging to future negotiations.

 

[GledTheRed]

You seriously think we should pay 80mil?

Yes, have you seen the first two games?

Antony's quotes after one of his recent games don't lead me to believe he would think twice. He left the door open to it.

You are speaking to a wall. Some desperate transfer muppets won't listen.

He's not daft, he'll sign for PSG nect summer.

We've got a DOF?!! Really?

Hahaha, you would never sign Ajax players again!

Seriously though, I know feck all about football. United should hire @Invictus as DoF he obviously knows everything about everything.

Sounds like a plan

 

[macheda14]

Yes and I don’t think a talented yet inconsistent player from the Dutch league saddled with the pressure of an overinflated price tag will change much in the short to medium term. Apart from making it harder to buy other players.

 

[Fooza]

Even relying on EtH to get us players ain't working

We're done out here

 

[Escobar]

Should have been signed months ago. That we dont pursue other options shows the quality of this club

We need attackers, we haven't scored a goal yet and barely look like doing.

O

Transfer request?

Ok, so:
1. he is in a marvelous team at the moment,
2. WC ahead a couple of months with huge possibilities to show yourself
3. definately will shine in the CL
4. be sure of a starter position.
5. Proper salary

Against:
1. A team in bad weather
2. Not sure for a starter position (always need to prove yourself in a new team)
3. No CL
4. A million or 2 more salary?
5. Play in de EPL.

Why would it be so straight forward to expect a transfer request?

 

[allesreiniger]

I would bet they’ve already identified one. They are much better organised in the market than we are.

Ajax has one in Conceicao (and also Ihattaren, berghuis (although not as good as Antony) and Unuvar possibly), but he needs to be given time to accomodate to the RW position at Ajax. Will be given that time this year and can then compete with the other contenders for the starting position

 

[allesreiniger]

Maybe now the Gakpo links makes sense. We sign Gakpo and use him as a makeweight in the Antony deal because I assume PSV won’t sell directly to Ajax. 4D chess by Murtough!

That would bea good deal and maybe even possible for quite a bit less then 40m.
Though, Gakpo is more fragile then Antony...

I'd prefer Antony by a mile, but he's not moving this window - not unless someone matches your asking price

Finally got Ed`s safe open and found the money from Ronaldo`s 80M sale and the early years with GLazers from the "No value in the market" era.

 

[The White Pele]

Imagine if multiple of these ridiculous offers are accepted. I can just picture Murtough and Arnold in a room for hours trying to work out what to do next.

Utd basically said, nah we ain’t interested at doing deals at low prices. We’ll be back later in the summer with a bigger offer. Just ask Fellani.

We are going for everyone with the DeJong money now.

To be fair Fellaini`s buyout clause was too low so made sense to wait until end of window and buy higher.
