Very true but can't help feeling total frustration at paying more than we should due to not getting in done earlier. Will not be happy to pass on a CM or RB due to extra money on this deal.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Insane fee for Anthony, meaning we've given Ajax 150 for Martinez and Anthony when we still don't have a RB and a functioning Midfield.
Oh and we need a 9.
Lots of issues and clock is ticking ...

Will say this again we only move for a 9 if Ronaldo leaves, in terms of a RB it hinges on AWB leaving but do have serious worries about the complete lack of playmaker midfielder signing
3 in the middle of Casemiro, Fred and Eriksen are a huge upgrade over what we had. I think Fred will look much better with Casemiro taking more of the defensive responsibility. Should we sign Antony, a good goalkeeper and a RB, we would have a really balanced team.
After Antony is sorted. We should go for one more at least (excluding the backup gk) either one of RB/CM is fine with me.
Only if Ronaldo leaves we need #9.

Correct sir. It was Castles wum for sure. No idea how people could believe that one.
I do not care who we buy. ETH needs time and patience to turn around this battleship of tripe. I for sure will give the man loads of time.
I don’t really care what the fee is for Antony unless it was somehow the reason we didn’t get FDJ which doesn’t look likely.
When you compare the fee to those of Mahrez, Nicolas Pepe, Vinicius Jr, Ousmane Dembele, Coutinho etc etc it’s very hard to say whether it’ll pan out well.
What I do think is that he’s young and still carving out a career. He’s got motivation to succeed, knows the coach and is at the right age to improve still.
We all need to recalibrate and understand that players 18-24 with big upside cost big money. Tchouameni cost €100m after only a couple of seasons and ligue un football, Nunez had one good season before going for big money. We just need to hope we gamble on the right ones.

Not many at Ajax can be happy about the sales but the CFO must be laughing
Who was the last one, Becks?
Nani, Valencia when he was absolutely flying
And van der Sar has done a great job auditioning for the CEO role once our new owners are in place.
Personally I'd probably prefer we take a 15-30m punt on some relative unknown and put 70m into SMS, but who knows if that's possible, I guess.

We don’t want Gapko, just a very transparent “we have other options” move.
Yeah but we need to be careful not to accidentally sign the smokescreen like we did with Casemiro/FDJ
Does Gakpo not have better starts when it comes to goals and assists than Antony? Plus he's big & strong, which would be good for us to have. And less than half the price?
Big part why he's looking good in Holland is because he's big and strong, though. He wouldn't have such a physical advantage in the PL
Brief much?
Banter club move that
Where did you get your tinfoil hat?
Different position though.
That's the crucial bit.
Not which of the two is better. But what position do we want to fill. If it's RW then Gakpo is a non starter.
Becks wasn’t exciting, couldn’t beat his man and had no great tricks. But his crossing and dead ball ability were exceptional.
Ronaldo & Nani were our last really exciting right wingers.
Well yeah no
Jesus christ
We’ll sign both.
Beckhams work rate was exceptional too. Incredible player and great to watch
I refuse to believe you actually watched Beckham play.
Send Rashford the other way.
From what I'm reading he has been outperforming Raphina for Brazil recently, can anyone confirm?
If this is the case, at 22 I say we go and get him?

Ronaldo is going to leave. We need at least 2 attackers. Plus as you allude to - rashford might be off too.
Many many times. Giggsy was the exciting winger, pace to burn and dribbling ability. Becks had very different attributes.

Burt is talking a hell of a lot isn't he.
If true the 4th has to be a RB!?
Burt been playing the contrarian with the Antony deal. Keeps talking up the Gakpo deal.
I don`t think Ronaldo will leave mate, his mate Casemiro is coming!
Probably. Small chances of additional CB coming but still... chances.
