Once he’s paid his way out of it he might come back better, see greenwood
I'm sure the off-field stuff has had an effect on his form but it doesn't change the fact that he's simply not good enough. He doesn't have the explosive pace to consistently go past his defender and he doesn't have the precision and clinical edge to his passing, crossing and shooting to compensate.
With that said, he has dropped off from last season, and I've been disappointed that he hasn't seemingly kicked on a bit and developed his game irrespective of the personal issues.
He was better how exactly? He's scored 4 PL goals in total and 3 of those came in the very first 3 games.
He's been absolutely awful pretty much from the very start. Dan James was better for us than he's been and that's saying something.
This could be true, he was better before it blew up.

Lmao. Sure thats why.
he was better before the accusations?
he has been pi$h since last September 2022 not just Sep 2023 IMO.
He's about as worth that money as Caicedo is in our midfield
Some scouting departments are a fackin disgrace

Our scouting department didn't rate Antony very highly by all accounts. It was ETH who pushed for him and our board of absolute charlatans who signed off on it.
I've said it before but if I was David Brailsford, the first thing I'd be doing right now is having an in-depth look at how on Earth that Antony deal got signed off. I guarantee it would tell us so much about the problems with the structure at the club.

That's being too kind. He's actually worse.
How exactly was he better? Better at stinking the joint?
You could be right. At the time it must have felt like a real kick in the teeth, for the woman.
52, can you be so sure Antony isn't a great player before you've completed your list of the club's 22 most useful, productive and contributive players and discovered whether Antony is on it?
He was marginally better but still pretty sh-t. Our scouts valued him at £25m only a few months before we spunked over £80m on him.
A visit from Doctor Tottenham will cure his zero assists and goals.

Hi RR, loved your little dig at our resident intellectual.
But I would like to read your list of great players. I was going to say it's not easy, actually it easy to do it, but difficult to defend it, and to change when you think more about it.

I think I'd struggle to make the list. And I'd probably get more pleasure from a list of favourite players, which would include those that aren't objectively among the best. I know from your great posts reminiscing on the past that you agree with me: there are players you connect with not necessarily because they are the best.

He's a one-trick pony who everyone has figured out.
It worked early one, but the jig is up - get rid of ASAP.

What's the trick?
Utter bull.
He’s an extremely average player who, if we’d paid £15m for, would be earning the bench.
