He will have a budget. A total amount available. The total cost of each player will impact on that (obvs), so Eth will be across the price and the negotiations even if it’s just updates because it will have a massive impact on other targets/the squad. Ie if we get him at this price Erik obviously Kane is off the list. Etc. So he will have been ok with that price. If not he’d have said no, we try for X and Y so let’s kill the Antony deal. Of course there may not have been an X or Y still on the table at that point so his choice was complete Antony at the price they want or have nothing in your Christmas stocking. He obviously said yes. The alternative is Erik wanting other players or instead wanting to hold the budget for next window and instead having Antony foisted on him and all or a big slice of the budget eaten up. No way he swallows that and doesn’t walk. So again, he won’t be doing the deal but he will be part of the steering group signing off and okaying the buy at the price knowing how that effects the budget they have to bring in new players. |

I can see why ETH wanted someone he had worked with and trusted, but in no way is he exempt from criticism on the fee on a player he had personally identified. Could have easily said, no 80 million is a £#%&!ing joke lads, let's move on. |

Honest, serious question for anyone that saw him play a bit before he joined: What did he offer to Ajax that made him look like a good fit for this team?
I wanted to believe he'd start to come good and start showing a reason why he should play, still hope he does, but I don't see what he can offer. He doesn't seem to run very fast, he isn't that good at beating his man 1-on-1, he can't do much with his right foot, his left foot isn't anything special, he's not picking out teammates from 40 yards, he's not sliding them through on goal, and he's not curling shots into the far post and racking up goals. He does look industrious at times which tbf is more than can be said about a lot of his teammates. But other than that I can't see what can change about his game to such a degree where he'd start looking like an £80m player. Would still keep him for another year, but only because his stocks so low after this season that there's almost no point trying to offload him at the moment. Maybe a loan next season with his wages covered would be best for everyone. |

Few examples ...
Of course this is missing the Liverpool goal that got us through to extra time on the way to Wembley.... You did watch this game ? And the Chelsea assist..... Ultimately we lost but his outside boot ball to garnacho was a thing of beauty.... Again, crazy to actually realise how badly people hate a player for Thier own club... Not had the best second season, but had off the field issues to deal with and has took his bench time well... |

Don’t hate him at all, pal. In fact, quite like him. He’s just not good enough. Not the worst by any means… and you’re cherry picking |

Daniel James: 74 Appearances, 18 goals and assists. Antony: 82 Appearances, 16 goals and assists. Want him to do well, I quite like him. But he's been shit. |

And half a dozen other players over the past few years no doubt. Stop taking it personal because Antony turned out to be shit. |

He hates half of the current team and calls anyone who uses stats a £#%&!er usually. He loves to bend the rules to suit his wums
