That has a 'screw you' undertone.
That's one thing the other is that it was the right time for ETH to move. Each and every manager (apart from SAF) has a development stage, a period when he's absolutely in his prime and then a decline followed by retirement. It comes a stage in every manager's career (apart from SAF) when the competitive edge he had over other competitors vanishes, his tactics aren't as efficient anymore, his communication with the new generation of players wanes and basically he's nowhere near as effective as he once was. Think of Mourinho as an example. These days he celebrates the Conference league win against Feyenoord as if he won the treble again. He knows that his best years are behind him.
ETH has come out of the development stage and is heading to his prime. He is a year or two away from it and there are still parts of his management that are still not top notch in my opinion but he's certainly one of the finest managers around. He had outgrown Ajax at this point.
Antony wanting only us was known back in June. Back then it was reported Ajax wanted 70m.

Apparently we inquired again in mid/late July after he was over his injury and they had raised it to 90m
Here we go
100 million 
Stupidity. We are giving Ajax money when we could get 3-4 identical players for same money.
Oh well, lets hope he is worth it.

Murtough masterclass
Check European lad’s pulse!
A left footed right winger. Thought those were a myth.
Tricky and has a good work ethic, exactly what this position has needed for years now. No issue about the fee, it's all about Ten Hag identifying his targets and the club doing whatever it can to facilitate that.

feck yeah!
We were desperate for some flair and trickery up front. This guy gonna be a pain in the ass for our opposition.

Who are the 3-4 identical players to Antony that cost 100 million combined (25 million each?)
Jeez that's the most positive I've ever seen you be
I’m convinced he’ll be great for us. Someone who actually was desperate to join us and you can see will give his all. We are the club to raise his level up a few levels.
When this link first came out people were saying much of his value was linked to having a really good attacking full back behind, so who is the FB Utd will be looking at, because unless Dalot progresses hugely it can not be him.
I just don't feel that excited.
100m
Great signing. May be it would be around 70-80m only if we get him in June.
His flair and skills in 1v1 are unreal, we rarely have anyone being stably good at that for the past 10 years. He still has a lot time to improve both tactically and physically.
I believe ETH can make him a beast like Vinicius

They don’t exist. He’s been asked this question before. I agree with him that we’ve been done on the fee, but it’s not my cash, the manager really wants him and he’s still an exciting player.
Name them?
So better than your view on EtH then?
Yes it's a lot but the fee isn't issue for me100m
Good.
Please be hungry and show the fecking way!

Who cares about the money? Player prices these days are completely incomprehensible. Plus it’s more money out of the Glazer’s pockets
We spent the whole summer and ended up paying their original asking anyway.
A bit of a waste of the summer, really.

He will be an absolute beast for us. fecking awesome
Let's goooooooo!!!!!
This player really excites me. How fast can we get him registered to play?
Probably the 5th poster to ask - please name them.
Announcement tonight?
He will be all that Neymar never was because of his attitude.
Here we go! I'm really glad we have a player who can execute the "cut inside and curl one in the corner" shot. Hope he and Dalot quickly find an understanding. Nevertheless Sancho and Antony will attract two players each and that will open up space for others.
3-4?! What market is he shopping for players in?
those 3-4 players would be shite

i'm not happy how he behaved to get the move. There are plenty around here that is calling Ronnie a "P****". In comparison he's behaved well. I am concerned that this "dream" may turn into a saga. I hope it works out well.
Only 338 pages. Barely a saga at all.
And the 4th ant is at CB
Fantastic player. Feck monies. Upgrade on what we have. Feck glorified haters.
WE GO FOR IT!!!!!
