100 million down the drain !! Tony dos Santos scores again
Well there are some players who get afforded this collective comes together excuse forever and others don’t.
Players also need to take responsibility and not blame everything on the collective.
Yes and he'd be our only left footed winger (aside from Diallo) if we sign him.
Yeah I'm here pretty much. If we think he's an elite talent (i think he is), then just get him. Left footed right wingers are rare, but necessary. He wants to come. We are desperate for a 3rd player to challenge and rotate with Sancho and Rashford. Greenwood was that guy, but he's not an option anymore. So essentially, this is the cost for us to replace Greenwood, who was a similar level talent. Replace a 100m talent with another huge talent, whatever the price.
This kid is electric and full of self-confidence. Has that I dont give a feck, bring it attitude. Technical, fast, great dribbler and entertainer. Personally I think a club like Bayern or Barca would have been better for him (less physical) but I still think he will manage easily.
You need 3 wingers for the 2 spots. Rotation, subs, competition, etc. Rashford and Antony, or Sancho and Antony, or Sancho and Rashford are all potentially excellent wing combos and is what we need. Its what we had with Greenwood which needed replacing. So here's the replacement.
Who doesn't get afforded this excuse ? Players who don't have the talent- like mctominay.
End of signings must end here, this would be 220m euros on signings.
Isn't it 80m with 20m in add ons?
That's some serious money. Never knew the guy was this highly rated, to be honest. I'm up for it though - we desperately need more attacking options.
Awesome. If he has self confidence he'll step up and adapt to the leagues physicality
thats because we don't seem to have an extensive recuitment system outside of "lets use the manager's shortlist"
what are the pieces?
Isn't lateral movement more useful for defenders? He doesn't appear that fast
Well he sure as hell better become our salah with that money or we're seriously fecked.
I like Antony, I liked what I've seen and I think he has potential but that money puts pressure on him and on us, you pay that for a surefire thing not a prospect.
If we're offering that kind of money there's no way Ajax dont take it. That is peak money for Antony.
No, 20 years and 80 m including addons
You ok there?

To be fair he’s 22 but point still stands
We're not. If he performs like a 60 million pound player it's not going to destroy us but be a good addition. Salah is a 150 million pound player (probably). Anything other than one the PL greats is not going to feck us.
who is he a huge huge upgrade on? remember Sancho was supposedly Neymar in Germany and looks an average winger in the premier league. Its not easy to be effective here at a high output consistently
I mean, people pay that for prospects in this day. 100m for Darwin, 120m for Joao Felix, 130m for Dembele, 70m for Raphinha, etc. The price you pay for young attackers.
Can we not give them “he who shall not be named” + £20m or so.
Agree with that sentiment but we're already paying 80 mill baseline for him, plus we could possibly fluke a cl season or two, it's too risky.
He betterhave insane confidence in his own abilities becauseone rough patch and everyone from press to our own fans would be on his back.
That's giving me bad memories100 million down the drain !! Tony dos Santos scores again
The past 3 days have been
from the club.Like him very much but 80 mil is insane ffs. Rather buy Ziyech for 10
80m would be us getting absolutely fleeced.
The guy to me is a left footed Jason Sancho. I don't know why we can't scout better for once.

How many players has done it at such an young age ? Salah and Mane were much older when they started performing.
Poor signing all around. I get the Casemiro signing but this is a poor investment.
Come on. You want a winger with no pace just because he's cheap?People are Always complaining.
Be complaining if we didn’t buy anyone either!
Absolutely nobody thought he was Neymar in Germany.
We’re still on the lookout for another midfielder and a RB and a GK if this comes through too.
exciting times?!

It's important for dribblers aswell, which enables them to turn direction sharply whilst in full flow, and makes it difficult to defend against.
Very nervous about this transfer. Don't like the idea of the manager also being the chief scout and DOF for the club.
It’s getting really hot and lots of things are happening!
So that #GlazersOut is no more the big news from the club.The past 3 days have been
Depends what you consider early i guess. We went in after they already lost Mazaroui, Gravenberch, Haller and Tagliafico. Might be missing a few others. My point is we could have went for him before they lost all those players.
In my opinion, the meme should be our supposed "excellent relationship" with Ajax considering they rinsed us for all the transfers and are about to rinse us for this one too.
Imagine if we signed Antony and Casamiro at the start of the summer. The atmosphere around the club would have been completely different.
You can still want a new owner and get excited by new signings
You’re not making sense; whatever way we qualify, it would be on us to capitalise upon in it - as far as the contract clauses, it would be partially fulfilled and a portion of the bonus money then goes their way.Agree with that sentiment but we're already paying 80 mill baseline for him, plus we could possibly fluke a cl season or two, it's too risky.

Our priority is getting back to being a top 4 side - it’s worth a fortune for us financially as well as in terms of appeal to sponsors and top tier players alike.
