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

[croadyman]

Not only is Antony not going to be able to justify £70m, I actually think it would actively put huge pressure on him and make him less likely to succeed. Good to hear Antony is seemingly prepared to try and force this through. Hopefully we can get it down to £40m. £50m is still too high frankly.

Think £55m is fair; however it needs a combination of us actually able to negotiate and him being willing to push for it

 

[elmo]

I don't think they do. Their CEO is clearly fond of us, and Bayern's targets are all pretty much on the last year of their contract, whereas Antony still has years left on his and they don't want to sell. So their high fee is understandable.

I think they saw how we treated VDB and didn't want us ruining their players again.

 

[RedRonaldo]

Wouldn't pay him more than 40m to be honest. Potential is there but potential along don't cost that much, he isn't even one of top player in Dutch league.

 

[Redcy]

I like Antony but if we are prepared to splurged £60m+ on this one then why not Raphinha for a similar price?

Because he has turned down offers from the pl and wants barca.

 

[Drainy]

It's reasonable for Ajax to go hard at us in negotiations.

Let's be honest we can afford to buy half of their best players and have a manager who knows them. Best set a marker that they won't be giving them away cheap.

Why? They sell everyone else cheap. Why didn’t they set that marker with Bayern?

Either way I think it’s just early negotiation tactics. If we believe we could get him for £40m we are so disrespectful we would offer less.

Its our fault we should have gone early for him,now they don't need the cash.

Antony has been valued at around €75m by Ajax before the season ended according to Dutch journalists. The price being put forth now is the same.

Nothing has changed regards price, but I think the player himself is wanting to leave, which the reliable Mike Verweij has also reported on a few times, saying the players reps are talking to other clubs.

I think we'll end up signing him and I hope we do because he's a exciting player to watch with even more growth potential.

I thought so… I was convinced nothing about his price had changed except for our reported fee we wanted to pay. But the sensationalism will continue.

But after selling so many players i highly doubt they are willing to sell more.

Sad we never got Rivaldo to United. Amazing player and he likes us.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Seems to be the most likely Ajax to United deal this summer.

But they're going to absolutely rinse us. If Donny was £37m, Antony will command a much higher fee. And this is just the symptom of the problem left behind by Burnthroughcash FC.

 

[Adnan]

They aren't willing to sell more players, which I can completely understand. But I think the player wants to leave with the noises coming out of Brazil, and previously from Mike Verweij about the players reps talking to other clubs .

And Romano is saying the same.

I can’t believe Bayern paid only £20m for Gravenberch. He’s quality. I can’t picture a time where we buy that level of player for that kind of price.

I'm out of the loop, what's Rivaldo's connections to this? Nice comment though.

Rivaldo was just asked of his opinion on Antony to United, and he seems very excited at the prospect of Antony playing for United.

 

[Adnan]

Rivaldo also thinks it'll help Antony with the national team if he's playing for United.

[WhyYouGottaBeSoRuud?]

Because he has turned down offers from the pl and wants barca.

I'd like to think we're a bigger club than Spurs and Arsenal.

 

[WhyYouGottaBeSoRuud?]

Because Raphinha is 4 years older and his stats are shite.

11 goals and 3 assists is shit in the Prem? For Leeds?


He's hardly a grandad is he?

Because he has turned down offers from the pl and wants barca.

Let's get him a role at this club, always remember that controlled overhead kick in the 3-3 at Nou Camp

 

[Andycoleno9]

So based on reports we didn't even made an offer so far. Bloody hell

 

[pocco]

We're not making offers for anybody other than De Jong. Once he's over the line, and we sell a couple of players, then we'll spend again apparently. Could easily see us sign only FdJ this summer. I'm actually wondering if we just don't have any money for anything else other than FdJ and it's all a ruse to keep fans happy till the season starts.

Who we selling then

So far absolutely nobody. We are reportedly haggling over 5 millions for Pereira. Huge business

Yeah that sadly says it all for me

 

[2 man midfield]

Rivaldo seems to have a soft spot for us. I remember him saying he regretted not joining us.

 

[Adam-Utd]

We only ever make an offer once a deal is agreed. Stop hanging up on that word.

We haven't made a bid or offer for De Jong either, doesn't mean we aren't negotiating.

Clearly though if Ajax want 70m its not happening.

What do you think is taking place when they are negotiating?

I suppose the terminology would be we have made proposals to Barca, but when they say yeah that one is good then an official bid will be submitted.
