Didn't some journo say that Raiola agreed to take a cut on the 20m he was supposed to get and will now be getting around half of that? I think someehere in this thread there is something about this.

#POGBACK wtfI love it.
United were reading the thread, waiting till we got 1000 pages and steeling muppets original thoughts! trademarking is a process, a process I should have done
Anyone know if @ChaddyP is still breathing after all this Pogba excitement ?
I'll edit to give credit haha. 22 retweetsMy genius idea, that was!
I know he is....we're paying Juve €105m rising to a potential €110m, which works out to £89m rising to a potential £93m. Those fees exclude the Raiola fee, making the total cost of the transfer a fair bit more than £89m. €110m to Juve and €20m to Raiola have been widely floated around weeks ago now, so those figures fit in with that.
No that was dismissed by Di Marzio. What they said was that Juve would pay €4m and that we would pay €20m. People assumed it would be a 50/50 split between us and Juve but that wasn't what was reported by the reliable Journalists.
United paying Raiola but only leaking what we're paying Juve is pathetic as we're paying the % that they owe him for moving him to them from us on a free transfer.
I'm happy he's signed but the club's negotiaters look pathetic. Not a popular view on this place but that's just my opinion.
Sounds fecking terrifying. I hope we never get one.
Uncle Pat had a say in this

feck off, I don't want credit for it. Was just taking the mick.
Feast on muppets. We somehow pulled it off.. Rvp, Di Maria, falcao, mikhita and now pogba.. And kept DDG from going also. Hope Jose make a OT A mean place to visit again.
Just found this short clip from Henry. Hadn't seen it before but pretty much sums up my views on Pogba.
Guys, is it safe to buy the Pogba 6 shirt now? When will we officially find out his number? I can't wait any longer.....;
I think Mourinho will make him play like frank lampard
he will score a lot of goals for us
Surely could have waited for him to complete the medical before announcing?
What this tells me is that the club were as tired of this saga as we were.

I think it’s fair play towards everyone for him to get Martial’s no.11.
Viera and Toure?
The things he can do with the ball are on par with Zidane (if not better).
I don't disagree. There were a few posters questioning my post about him being a hybrid of Viera and Toure, except better. I was a bit surprised to come across a clip of Henry basically agreeing.
Agreed. Hopefully this isn't a one-off, perfect storm which led to this signing. But if so, at least it's for a player who's quality is unquestioned in a position we've been looking to fill for years.
I think he's currently behind a prime Toure or Viera, but I certainly agree that he has the potential to surpass both of them.
Juve announced that he was released for the medical first. With us heading into a game (where questions would be asked afterward), it's not like we could just go dark and avoid the press. Denying it straight to the face of all the press would have looked silly.Surely could have waited for him to complete the medical before announcing?

Agent fees are not disclosed as part of the transfer amount changing hands between clubs. Hilarious that you see common practice as "pathetic".
They did? Where?
Nope, they're just letting us ride the hype wave as long as possible. The unveiling will have been planned meticulously.Surely could have waited for him to complete the medical before announcing?

They didn't announce it, but leaked it to the press.
Well. . Now I'm almost bored. Can't we sneak in one more transfer saga before the deadline ? We earn that 100 or so million back in what? A week, month ?
But in general, transfer fees never include agent fees I think. The transfer fee is what is being paid to the selling club so 89 million pounds is the accurate transfer fee and whatever addons/clausew owed to Juve can also be included.
Yeah, I guess it wasnt quite a press conference or announcement tweet, but their spokesperson told the media (and was referred to by several outlets as the spokesperson, not an "unnamed source"). When a spokesperson is identified as the one saying something, it's as good as an official announcement. In any event, Juve are who started the ball rolling, where United could not deny it, nor could they ignore it. Otherwise they would have had to answer why he didn't show up at Juve today/tomorrow like Allegri said.
Juventuz having a meltdown because the transfer fee is supposedly being paid over 3 years
So Fergie's decision to let him leave looks like an eighty nine million pound mistake!!! Still, it could have been 100m so could be worse.
No in this case the agent fees were actually part of the overall fee Juve quoted, they just didn't want to pay it as it reduces the amount of tax they will be paying. So for all intent and purposes the agent fees in this transfer are part of the actual fee, this will be reported on soon I believe.
Agent fees aren't reflected in any transfer fees though.
Nah, having Juve as your development/feeder club for youths ain't half bad.
Closing a deal is pathetic now? It's a good thing you're not in charge of transfer negotiations otherwise the club would look totally inept and would still have a gaping hole in midfield.
From my perspective Juve tried their best to retain Pogba via an excessively high valuation and then, when United said they'd meet that, no problem, they tried to scupper the deal by demanding that United stump up a fee they had agreed to pay when they signed him four years ago. United are absolutely minted and didn't let anything stand in the way of getting the player Mourinho wanted most. Far from looking pathetic United look like the most financially sound and fiscally able club there is. No one can match them. Long may it continue.
3 year payment of 89M pounds for Pogba is a good deal, I'm sure the critics, Klopp and Wenger will take that deal as well.
Is it over 3 years? (too tired to read several pages right now)
We didn't let him leave, we wanted to keep him and he choose to leave. Big difference.
Yep, 105M Euros paid over 3 years plus 5M euro add on if he renew his contract beyond 5 years or if we sell him for more than 50M.
Most transfer fees are paid in installments, I can't believe they're going insane because of such a common and sensible practiceJuventuz having a meltdown because the transfer fee is supposedly being paid over 3 years
