Don't even want us to go that high. Not really worth the money at all!
The above post will probably get bumped in a year or two when he becomes the first £100 million player in the world
PSG have Menez, Lavezzi, Nene, Pastore and a young Italian starlet called Verratti playing in those three positions. They then have Gameiro Luyindula and Hoarau as cover for Zlatan at least.
That's some front 4 they'll have whether they add Lucas or not.
Not sure how the registration rules are in France but for the CL they only have two players over the the age of 21 who count as HG.
Or when he goes back on loan to some Brazilian club after getting homesick . ....
interestingly Powell plays in the same position as pogba while moura in that of morrison. Perhaps the departed 2 players featured heavily in fergie future plans?
Reports now claiming that we've pulled out of the deal because his agent and family were demanding 6m.

interesting observation, I genuinely thought Fergie's lack of investment prior to them two leaving was down to the expectant emergence of Pog/Rav. Now they've departed, I am bemused at the lack of investment. Maybe Powell & Lucas are direct replacements as part of the bigger, long-term plan he had in place this time last year...?

That's eerily similar to the Hazard deal
Families don't get money. More like his agent wants more money.
Nothing new here folks. The agent won't get what he wants from United. Pogba's didn't, Sneijder's didn't, Nasri's didn't, Hazard's didnt.
This deal is going to die if the agent want's a huge share.

Maybe it's time we recognize the role of agents and give in to their demands somewhat to get what we want. Can't keep losing out on the players you feel will improve your team the most.

I'm not sure. Whilst it would be easier to pay-off the agents it would make life easier to sign players.
But the entire system doesn't make sense. You pay the agent a fee to sign, that's fine, it's a one-off transaction. But in Football, it's not. It's a repeated transaction. You have to keep on paying the damn agent over and over again for every contract. It's nonsense. It's inflationary. The economics of it wrong. If you started at a high fee, it will get worse and worse during every renegotiation. Not only that, you get higher fees for going 'external', that is, by the agent going to other clubs, he can get a higher fee himself. This is leading to players leaving a lot more. It's happening to players everywhere. The Rooney saga is a classic example. Nasri, Pogba, Modric, RvP. They are not leaving for footballing reasons. They are leaving to get better deals because their agents gain from the move.
I can definitely see why Sir Alex won't pay agents any more than he thinks is necessary.
Nothing on SSN.
So far, it's pile of bollocks made on top of other pile of recycled bollocks.
If we are going to refuse to pay the agents fees we may as well stop looking at these up and comers who are held in high regard, as nearly every one of them has a leech agent motherfecker working them like whores.

The agent probably wanted parity with that, the other big deal of the summer for a young player?
If FIFA / UEFA are seriously concerned with the financial elements of the game, they should be setting up something to tackle the parasitic cancer that is the football agent

An extra payment of 6million?
Once you go down that road as a clu the size of United, you'd never be able to purchase in te normal wayagain
Yeah, it's all well having principles but it's not a case of showing those agents anything, they will just get that money from someone else and we're left without the player we want. The way football is heading such attitude will definitely hold us back.
True, but it's a position that isn't wrong to hold right now.
Clearly there are some agents that United do trust: Mendes. This is why I think there is a better change for retaining Nani.
