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

[Iron Stove]

Haggle for month, see price go up successively then manage to get 1 million euro off the last asking price.

Either way, I'm excited about this signing and at least no one can call him the 100 million euro man I suppose.

 

[pcaming]

I feel we may have tarnished our relationship with Ajax, and we’re clearly being mugged, but I hope he can bring some excitement to the RW. This a huge gamble for ETH.

 

[Pronewbie]

I am camping in the strikers thread, obviously not getting Osmihen due to astronomical fee. So next best thing is Aubameyang or Dembele I reckon.

Auba’s poor attitude greatly concerns me. But yes I agree that we are in desperate need for a CF. Even if Ronaldo stays, he looks like he’s going to need another month of so to get up to speed.

 

[rizx]

I humbly invite you to the Frenkie de Jong thread for the next few days.

*sad Gakpo and Depay thread noises*

 

[Bratt]

Shouldn’t twitter be exploding with news about this pretty soon if the hamster is for real?

 

[Sied]

Pretty much GOD tier, knew much stuff a week earlier than the Tier 1s.

Someone with that profile pic isn't a joke account?

 

[leontas]

Get in. VDS taking us to the cleaners but hopefully now we can spend the last few days going after a ST. And maybe an RB.

 

[Lynty]

So we paid full amount, less £1m - just to save face

Teams just know they can quote absurd prices then wait for our next poor performance, after which we’ll just cough up the money

Exactly and with Tony's injury proneness we can't afford to wait for Ronaldo to get up to speed, already 6 points off the pace

Who’s Hamstelaar

It’s portmanteau of the names Huntelaar and Hamstra - two directors at Ajax. A Twitter ITK who has been tier 0 all summer, with Ajax fans on Reddit taking his word as gospel.

Yeah you'd have thought so

 

[Someone]

Why should we believe a Hamster exactly?

 

[Terranova]

I humbly invite you to the Frenkie de Jong thread for the next few days.

I've been there multiple times a day since it started It's been exhausting

 

[Manny]

£84m. Please turn out to be a bargain.

 

[Himannv]

GET INNNN!!!

Gotta admit, it's a very strange way of announcing a transfer. Comically inept.

How do United fans know this

God you guys take muppeting to a whole new level every year

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Shit x 3 is going down

 

[Castia]

Looks like this could be done!

 

[Grylte]

Back to the De Jong thread then!

 

[Superunknown]

I want to hear more from *gestures* this... hamster.

 

[CallMeV]

Let’s go for
Antony - Antony - Antony

what an attack!

Anthony E - Anthony M - Antony

If we develop the team well we won't be held to ransom in the future

I am waiting for first pundit who says he is Dutch.

Anthony E - Anthony M - Antony

We need better than them two

What does this have to do with the club?

 

[Remad7]

Antony 11?

 

[r3idy]

God! They are right bloody teases aren't they.

It's like the worst cliff hanger episode of Coronation Street on Xmas day.........................................allegedly..not that I watch the soaps...................................................

 

[Nou_Camp99]

No other industry works like this so why should sports? If someone wants to go and you get a fair offer, and we’ve presented an outrageous offer, then you let them go. It’s good business.

Seems like they have just let him go. They had a fee they wanted.

 

[FujiVice]

Get in. VDS taking us to the cleaners but hopefully now we can spend the last few days going after a ST. And maybe an RB.

Considering we bought VDS for 2.5 million and he won everything going for 5 years, I'd say we owe him this.

I could care less about the price. The value of not seeing Elanga stinking it up day in day out on that right wing is priceless.

Didn't Clough do similar with Trevor Francis?

 

[avgp_1]

Big money but we need him, good signing.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Told everyone there’s no way we pay 100m for him

 

[Spoony]

Right now for the new Brazilian Ronaldo.

 

[Castia]

Thought it could be done after it was claimed the board members are speaking to the press after the game
