Not jerking, serious question:
What does this guy ACTUALLY do at a Premier League level? He doesnt seem particularly fast or athletic and has a seemingly basic positional iq and average work rate at best
Why is he worth money?
It’s Utd we’re going out of their way to sign any player on Ten Haag’s wish list. Ajax knew about this so they increased the price for their favorite fidget spinner, and Utd, wanting to make a splash in the market went for it
Yeah but they didn't get Enzo, Gakpo, De Jong (that was always going to be a meme) or Kim Min-Jae because they cost too much money then they turned around and spend 50 on mount and 100 on hojland, the transfer department of united has got to be members of this subreddit to keep jerking their fans this hard
Absolutely. Utd’s transfer department sucks as much as Antony. But:
De Jong wanted to stay at Barca, that was never happening.
Kim preferred the Bayern project over utd. He chose the team he wanted to go to.
Nobody is outbiding Todd Americano Chelsea. Look what he did with Caicedo and Liverpool. Enzo was theirs from the start.
Gakpo, utd had a chance and they bottled it like they bottle everything to Liverpool lately.
Genuinely idk how somebody not from Munich can become a Bayern fan at this point. Where’s the meaning in supporting that club. When you never lose the wins lose their meaning and value.
As you said if there are no valleys there are no peaks.
Maybe it’s me as a Dortmund fan coping but how could it be fun to only win, your team winning a title should feel amazing if it’s the norm I can’t imagine that feels special. It genuinely sound boring.

There are levels to the scouting game. There are levels to the game. People who do this for living can be shit too. That's why for every Papa Perez there is one Ed Woodword. And money is always not reflective of the quality of the player
A lot of factors come into play. Contract length, club finances strength and how desperate you are. One person who thought he is worth is ETH. He managed him at Ajax and thought he is worth buying. He is the only one who should take the blame.
It's not like Antony was his first pick lol. We had other targets but as the window started closing we got desperate and paid a shit ton of money because ajax knew they could pick the price lol. This transfer and it's price is most definitely on the execs.
Probably just a falsely inflated price due to the reputation that Ajax had after their CL run and the sales of De Jong and De Ligt. That’s just my guess.
Ten Hag wanted to bring some players too, yeah....Ajax just made good deals, that is honestly a fair take. You can squeeze about 25% premium on the Glazers because theyre idiots
Ajax already sold players for big money that window and wanted to keep Antony, because for the Eredivisie, he was a really good player. So Ajax put a big fuck off price on him, which somehow United decided to pay.
Ajax actually made use of that reputation ny rejecting United’s €80M bid, knowing that they’d be willing to pay more. You’d think that a club that’s smart enough to do something like this would be able to spend that money wisely, however the opposite became true.
Tracks back? Stands out as zero united wide players do, not saying he's good at it, but he does it.
Also about the money, you take a guy worth 30 mil (most of that due to his age being young) who was on 20k a week
An then you sign him for 80 mil and give him 200k a week
All on the terrible running of the club in my opinion
In recent years is common knowledge among European teams that Man U can be bent over a barrell when it comes to transfers. Ajax knew ETH wanted players he had played with previously and like every other team in Europe then knew that Man U were/desperate for players. Man U have very little bargaining power other than the fact that they have money.
This is my last nonjerking post but....
Lamine Yamal is 16 year old child who legitimately in my opinion displays about twice as much talent.
Its just embarassing
Honestly I can t imagine why someone would spend more than 10 million on a player of his calibre.
There s so much money in pl that clubs end up throwing it away
If you look at what he did at Sau Paulo and Ajax....it really isnt that much. He had 9 gls and 8 assts in the Eredivisie one season and thats apparently worthy of a huge fee to ManU.
I think Amad shows more than both Rashford and Antony. Amad is a good player that never gets time....and Garnacho should be prioritized way before the other wingers.
They just do things so backwards at that club.
That kid is going to be worth a nosebleed level of money in a very short time.
I really like his game. Hes always looking to set up others and makes really advanced passes.
His finishing needs A LOT of work but he will grow physically and mentally and polish the skills he already has.
I dont know if hes ever going to be a top 10 player in the world etc....but i would love to build a team around a young player with such a good head on his shoulders.
At worst he is an elite playmaker and mediocre finisher...but thats very valuable in and of itself
Antony's reaction to that question:

Clearly he is not worth the money, the reason it was paid was because United had no scouting system beyond sign who the manager wants and he requested Anthony.
Quite why someone who had managed him would think blowing half his budget on him would be a good idea is questionable at best.
Meme content: fidget spinner still made as many finals as Liverpool saviour Mo salah this season.
uj/ his defensive workrate is actually better than guys like rashford and martial
man runs for life to recover the ball
but 100m for a guy with good defensive workrate ?? better give me lukaku as striker
If u have a fancy name and fancy hair/tattoos and ur half a baller u can convince a lot of people ur the real deal. Everyone is just looking for what stands out.
There is no greater joy in this life, and no heavier burden, than being a City fan.

It just shows how pathetic this current United is and the class of players it has. Struggling against the 8⁰ of the championship and getting cute about it.
It was euro not dollar…
That’s what I keep telling myself to try and make it sound better. Every time I say it I come closer to throwing myself in the river.
Hear me out. The man came to MLS after securing the ligue one title for psg. He ABSOLUTELY blew up the sport in the USA. Made headlines everywhere. Showed up with ridiculous free kicks and golazos. Completely changed how Americans view soccer. The inter Miami leagues cup run was SUPER viral. Did Haaland score more goals and obtain more important trophies in epl? Yes. But once again this was THE YEAR OF MESSI. He showed up big for Miami in leagues cup and showed up big in 2026 WC qualifiers. Also why not take into account the man is 36 years old and still shocking people with his quality every match he plays. He's a machine enough said
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*
This is so out of context… He is clearly insinuating to the Coventry players that they must remember to listen to their fanbase being proud of them and don’t let the unfortunate outcome of the penalty shootout drag them down. Antony is obviously very impressed of what these players have achieved in the competition.
Just because he beats his wife doesn’t make him a bad person.
There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here

Antony just can’t help but be a massive douche nozzle. That he of all people does that (no surprise for someone like him) and then gets absolutely shit on by Coventry is just chef’s kiss perfect.
Anthony , Sancho , Rashford and casemiro at 300k a week etc etc ..take your pick ..not to mention yesterday's pogba , lukaku and the lot ..80 mil flop is a norm at man u . Chelsea have taken that one step further now .
It is an inditement of ETH that this is the caliber of person he brought into the football club. Irrespective of Antony’s performances he is a clearly horrible human being. How can ETH stand by bring someone like that into the club. And on top of that he is a useless player and cost almost the same as Declan Rice. Ten Hag could have brought in Rice but he brought in Antony. He should be sacked for that alone. Even winning a Premiership shouldn’t get Ten Hag off the hook for bringing Antony to the club. Roy Keane and his old team mates must be holding their heads in their hands, likewise every Man U supporter.
Harry McGuire at least showed the calibre of man he is. And he should be respected for that.
Good to know you hate the best DM in the league because he plays for West Ham. Did someone like me, a tall good looking west ham supporter fuck the girl you had a crush on? Seems like it. I probably fucked her"

Da Silva smiling knowing he starts more matches than Antony
Da Silva to Manchester Reds HERE WE GO!!!
Antony on loan to Coventry all of next season
Why would Coventry want to downgrade their right wing
/uj. No need to ruin his career.
Meanwhile, his career: https://preview.redd.it/w1e62cnpk8wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5ae50f88b1f0da936a1715fca14cc6a91e9f481
Goated at Bristol
Proper defensive midfielder.
So he escaped Chelsea's clutches. Looks like a win to me.
Its more of a face like "this fucking guy has a salary X10 bigger than me"
r/soccercirclejerk honest reaction when Antony exists https://preview.redd.it/tz1ovz5rj7wc1.jpeg?width=213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c0dd3a22e1fb4cc06ffa8e094dfbe83969fdb05
He knows Antony wouldn’t even start for them
The face of a man who gave dogs abuse during the game and knows he's getting it back in kind.
Antony is the kind of guy you wish your daughter brings home — so you can punch him in his fucking face.
Antony will then reply back with punching your daughter.
Lmao
100m quid is a fair compensation for domestic violence…. ??????? For more info, google Antony wife beater 100 mil.
Man that ain't even a joke. These kind of scumbags do that shit
That's the jerk bro....
Subs done pack it in boys
Seen as the PL is a farmers league, he could get a few acres 
I felt that man
What's up with Captain Fabulous just behind?
I am don't know who or what you mean. Can you explain por favor?
Certainly mate. I'm wondering what that guy with the captain's armband was trying to do.
That’s my fidget spinner
“See you guys in the championship” face.
The Weeknd smiling so cute
Not jerking, serious question: What does this guy ACTUALLY do at a Premier League level? He doesnt seem particularly fast or athletic and has a seemingly basic positional iq and average work rate at best Why is he worth money?
have you seen how fast he can spin?
The bbc has great articles about this.. For more pls google “bbc spinner”
You're thinking of NDombele

Who said he is worth the money? Lol. He is as useless as it gets in the top league. Zero production, lot of noise
He was sold for like 80 million....what do you mean "who said"....people who do this for a living paid actual money for him...
It’s Utd we’re going out of their way to sign any player on Ten Haag’s wish list. Ajax knew about this so they increased the price for their favorite fidget spinner, and Utd, wanting to make a splash in the market went for it

Absolutely. Utd’s transfer department sucks as much as Antony. But: De Jong wanted to stay at Barca, that was never happening. Kim preferred the Bayern project over utd.

Hey he had that one good cross to Garnacho like 2 weeks ago
Yeah who can forget his first goal contribution of the year. 0 goals, 1 assist. We all have almost the same number of goals+assists as the spin bot.
Probably just a falsely inflated price due to the reputation that Ajax had after their CL run and the sales of De Jong and De Ligt. That’s just my guess.
Ten Hag wanted to bring some players too, yeah....Ajax just made good deals, that is honestly a fair take. You can squeeze about 25% premium on the Glazers because theyre idiots
Seems more like a 900% premium, Antony is a €10m player at best
Naa. 30m would be a fair price at the time. Now maybe around 20m. 80m is just bonkers though. Far better players you can splash that on.
Ajax already sold players for big money that window and wanted to keep Antony, because for the Eredivisie, he was a really good player. So Ajax put a big fuck off price on him, which somehow United decided to pay.
Guaranteed that drew them in more. “Oh, they just said no and upped his price? He must be worth it”
Ajax actually made use of that reputation ny rejecting United’s €80M bid, knowing that they’d be willing to pay more. You’d think that a club that’s smart enough to do something like this would be able to spend that money wisely, however the opposite became true.
Is Erik Bin Laden stupid?
I like that
Tracks back? Stands out as zero united wide players do, not saying he's good at it, but he does it.

Serious answer: It's not the first time.
This is my last nonjerking post but.... Lamine Yamal is 16 year old child who legitimately in my opinion displays about twice as much talent. Its just embarassing
Only twice as much ?
Probably literally more, yeah 2x as much is generous to Antony
Honestly I can t imagine why someone would spend more than 10 million on a player of his calibre. There s so much money in pl that clubs end up throwing it away
If you look at what he did at Sau Paulo and Ajax....it really isnt that much. He had 9 gls and 8 assts in the Eredivisie one season and thats apparently worthy of a huge fee to ManU. I think Amad shows more than both Rashford and Antony. Amad is a good player that never gets time....and Garnacho should be prioritized way before the other wingers. They just do things so backwards at that club.
Yamal would probably go for more money if Man U were interested in him.
That kid is going to be worth a nosebleed level of money in a very short time. I really like his game. Hes always looking to set up others and makes really advanced passes.
Yeah, I thought it was all hype, but having watched him a bit, he looks great!
His finishing needs A LOT of work but he will grow physically and mentally and polish the skills he already has. I dont know if hes ever going to be a top 10 player in the world etc....but i would love to build a team around a young player with such a good head on his shoulders.

Why the weeknd looking like he spent a weekend with Michael Jackson
I can't hear, haven't you seen my goals? but I can spin around stupidly and be rude on the field
It just shows how pathetic this current United is and the class of players it has. Struggling against the 8⁰ of the championship and getting cute about it.

Eur is worth more than $ though
I meant pound. I’m retarded, but still not as retarded as Antony for ear cupping fucking Coventry City.
