ExiledGeordie Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 5 hours ago, KaKa said: For what it's worth we were linked with Antony earlier that summer before he joined Man Utd. Has a huge work rate which I'm sure Howe would like, and showed some quality at Ajax. It's a classic case of Man Utd ruining another young prospect, as he has been a disaster there. No idea if this interest is true, but if it happens I wouldn't sweat it. Far more likely he looks good linking up with our two Brazilians and playing for Howe, and in the process making Man Utd look dumb. I don’t think he fits in with the “no dick heads” policy irrespective of work rate. I’d be astonished if we signed him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoU Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 If we can get him cheap, it could be a great transfer. Still a young brazil international with high work rate in a position we need. Being bad at man reds doesnt mean all that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I'm not sure that Antony can adjust to the physical demands of the Premiership. He's certainly a talent, but is probably better suited to playing on the Continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Nah, I’m tired of us when we start getting good, ruining it by buying the top 6’s cast offs. We should be avoiding buying anyone from those clubs, unless they had actual potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think a 24 year old Brazilian international playing at an absolute shit show of a club under that bald fraud has any potential? Howeh...

We've seen how easy it is to win the Eredivisie (hello Schteve McClaren) with an utterly shite manager, the PL needs more from a manager other than "Let's pley". Antony just needs an arm round the shoulder and some good tactical direction in an environment that's not one of the biggest pressure cookers in professional football.

Going back to him being one footed. It's a serious flaw that will be a lot more apparent when you play in the Prem, because here every margin matters. It makes him a lot easier to defend against, as long as he is not at a different level than the opponent like in Eredivisie. Robben was able to succeed because he was extremely fast and just amazingly good in other parts of his game. How many of the top 20 attackers in the prem right now are one footed to a high degree? 0?

One thing you absolutely cannot do with a player that favours a particular foot, is not have any full back support on the outside. They often paired him with Wan Bissaka who did not overlap and isn't great in forward areas. Was very easy to just double up on Antony. At Ajax his full back over lapped and the central midfielders on his side under lapped too, which opened up a lot more for him, and created space. Ten Hag is so bad it's untrue.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I think most players in the PL favour one foot to an extent you wouldn’t really expect for the best few hundred footballers in the world. I still think wingers playing on the wrong side just annoys the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
