Normally I'd be very concerned about signing a player who was willing to down tools in order to force a move from the club we'd be signing him from. But in this particular case, if it really is true that we had a deal with Ajax already agreed, and they pulled it out from under us (and him) at the last minute over something that wasn't directly related to the deal itself (the potential Antony sale), then it's hard to blame him too much here. He'd surely feel like Ajax has really screwed him over, especially given that they've only been giving him cameos off the bench, and it's a World Cup year.
