They're fecking up their business model. Serves them right really when it comes back to bite them.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

I dont know who comes worse here. Us offering 90m or they rejecting it.
Let’s be honest we are at desperation stakes now.
The risk of getting nobody is bigger than the risk of paying €100m for him in my opinion.
At least he clearly wants to come here and will give it 100%. Time will tell by how much we overpaid but we are not negotiating from a position of any strength at all.
Bend over and lube up.
Some just want to create reasons to moan.
Just seems a bit of a coincidence that transfer activity has slowed up again
They don’t want to sell or want to rinse us dry and they dont want to pay the fee for Ziyech. Just walk away from this shit.
Us. Here we are going into the Southampton game on 3/9 points with attacking options of Sancho, Rashford and Elanga (plus a Ronaldo desperate to leave). Whether we pay it or not the fact we haven’t signed at least one attacking player 6 days before the window ends is a fecking shambles. The Antony saga should have been finished either way 4 weeks ago.
I am getting sick of the incessant moaning of certain pathetic individuals.
-Darwin Nunez goes to Pool for 100 mill and you moan: Why didn‘t we get him?
-Antony may cost 90+ million and you moan: It‘s too much, we are always overpaying.
-Frenkie de Jong wanted to stay at Barça and you moan: he doesn‘t want to come here we don‘t want him.
-Antony wants to come here and you moan:
we don‘t want him.
-Frenkie de Jong is a priority target and you moan: he is not a true dm.
-Casemiro, the best dm in the world comes here and you moan: he is not a playmaker.
Should I go on? You Miserable fecking cnuts!?
Totally agree with you here ,we moan about the glaziers not spending and when they do we fecking moan abo

So I just saw that Sao Paulo are entitled to 20% of the profit of this transfer. Probably why Ajax are trying to push it up.
Yup it's too much at this point. The amount is more than what's necessary for what Antony offers but they are not prepared to sell if indeed our second bid has gone through and been rejected.
Go for him again or even Diaby in winter after Leverkusen are knocked out of CL, this sum is around what they'll charge as well.
Get Asensio in the meantime.
Crazy they’ve rejected it.
Has to really put doubts in future talents ability to use Ajax as a development club before progressing further.
€90m is a very fair offer for a player of his current and potential ability.

We are offering silly money for a player. It hasn’t slowed.
Can't blame Ajax for trying to rip us off as some truly average players cost way too fecking much already. However there is also so much you can ask before the other telling you to do one
There is no coincidence or conspiracy. We've briefed another bid will come since what, Tuesday, and come Friday we submitted 90m EUR. The time gap could be down to a lot of factors, not least to help keep the healthy relationship between clubs in tact given its a delicate situation. Had Ziyech been more straight forward this would probably be done.
Yeah, that can happen. Other clubs might be a better option for up and coming talents.
Then why are they spending €44m - an Eredivisie transfer record - on a discard player? You’re even trying to sell him for more than you paid, ffs.
I don’t think Ajax have any intention of partaking in any part of silly - end of the window - season.
The money is crazy but we can't go into this season with only Rashford, Elanga and Sancho on the wings. We'll be fecked by December.
Antony is a much lower risk than fdj who has not said once he actually wants to come.
Yep agree with that. This is like Dortmund and Sancho all over again.
Any player which you spend 90m is a risk.
Someone forgot to tell this to Murtough who was living the life in Barcelona "negotiating".
Time to find an alternative.
Briefing the press that ETH insists on Antony was incredibly dumb.

We may have got him got 60m back then but now we're desperate and a few days from the end of the window so all of our negotiating leverage has gone
In all seriousness, apart from the bang average links to players like depay/gakpo/asensio
Is there any there other exciting forward we can go spunk the money? Otherwise invest in a striker and buy a forward next summer.

I would accept if we walked away now. This is way over his current value.
That said, if ETH is pushing for him, so be it.

We will get him, this will go down to the the wire.He clearly does not want to stay there,so I think common sense will prevail at the end of the day,I think we have bid more than enough now.
Do Ajax think Antony would just carry-on post transfer window?
He is human, the idea of going to Ajax for him was to get this big move, if they deny him this he wouldn't just carry on, he'll be deflated.
They want to keep Antony but the version of him they want may no longer be there, take the money and find a replacement.

But it hasn't?
Stellar negotiating by Murtough once again
May being the key word there. There is no certainty we would have got him for that price.
44m is a figure someone made up on Twitter and people keep repeating it as though it's a fact.
Chelsea would accept far less.
Not sure slavery involves volutarily signing a contract that you then attempt to break despite being paid tens of thousands of pounds a week but maybe you have more knowlege of the slave trade than I do
I hope we overpay for him. We have been shoddy this window and we should at least ensure our new manager can get the RW he rates super highly and has worked with previously. If ETH thinks he's a top talent let's just get it done. We have to pay a premium for our incompetence during this window. It's better to spend that extra 20 million then let the new manager down.
The 90m figure was being floated in May, wasn't it? The idea we could have got him for peanuts at the start of the window is based on very little and feels more like people wanting to get angry at the club.
Your counter is two players, who combined, cost less than Ziyech’s touted fee?
How about Blatter? Know more than him? Leeds punkNot sure slavery involves volutarily signing a contract that you then attempt to break despite being paid tens of thousands of pounds a week but maybe you have more knowlege of the slave trade than I do
Leao from Milan but plays on the left.
We will get Ismaila Sarr
Yes but:
- 90m for an elite Ballon d'Or player is not as risky, because he already has shown he can play constantly at that level.
-90m for a prospect labelled the next big thing (Mbappe/Haaland/Felix) is risky, but you know that he'll be worth it or even more without injuries.
-90 for a prospect that 'may work out' under the right manager and circumstances is a huge risk.
I would put Antony at that 3rd tier which is why I think we should walk away now.
Ultimately its the fault of whoever wasted 3 months on FDJ when he didn't want to leave, can't blame Ajax with such little time left they have always been clear what they wanted.
