Di Marzio currently only talks about brokerage fees and that we are obligated to pay €105m to Juventus. No one is mentioning the 20% cut anymore.

If you go back a few hundred pages you'll find it. Think Di Marzio said something like - Man Utd pay agent fee for Juve but Juve will pay the tax.

Can't remember the exact tweet/article.
 


To summarise Di Marzio:

In these minutes the French midfielder is flying right into Manchester with a plane departed from Nice to 10.15. At 13.00 will support the medical tests, the first act of his second spell in Manchester. Juventus from the 'Red Devils' here is the 2.0 Pogba at United.

Time to fire up the flight trackers again!
 
47 odd posts of mine in this thread not wanting pogba to join United and against United spending so much money. Now that he will be a United player. I hope he shuts all the the people who were against this deal and helps United win major silverware and doesn't feck off to Madrid for his dream move in the next 3-4 years.

I hope Jose manages this guy and the team well now as we seem to have a lot of huge characters in the team. Jose has managed such players before. Hope everything works out of us.

People need to focus on United and not Madrid. The future is the future and people dream up things like it being his dream club. It would make sense for Paul when you think about it BUT it wasn't such a dream that he made it happen now. So let's just focus on climbing back to the top and knocking them off their fecking perch .. if we do that? Then it wouldn't be as inviting but of course we have to start competing again and I'm sure we will

Yes, however there is no talk currently, of any money being paid to Raiola apart from the usual agent fee, which happens with any transfer.

Or, in a nutshell:

Sure. However, the transfer fees in the history books may go down as 89m paid to Juve, but in our accounting books it'll be Juve+0.2Juve if the earlier news of us paying the 20% fee Riola is owed by Juvenuts had any truth in them.

There's been a lot said previously. But surely what should take precedence at this point in time is the latest reports: €105m + brokerage
 
What is the purpose of flight tracking really? We know his flight details, is there a need to monitor in the air? :lol:

Not disputing that, but nobody is talking about that 20% business anymore.
 
People who say they would rather have a 23 year old Zidane than a 23 year old Pogba....your chatting s**t! How many of these guys remember him playing in France before he left for Juve?

When comparing players, especially retired ones, people will always compare the player in their hey day, rather than at the same stage of the player they are comparing them too.

How many would have had Becks above Zidane??? SAF did. And Zidane was a couple of years ahead too!

But that 105m EUR is still in line with what was always said - 80m for Pogba and 20 to agent.
 
All clubs disclose to football association fees paid to agents and third parties. None of those get counted in transfer fees. Yes obviously in the end it is a cost to club and Raiola's reported fee in this case is significantly higher than usual ones but if we have to compare say Bale's transfer to this, it will remain 100 vs 105.
Total cost of transfer can be a new metric which fans who are interested in such things should study. In Madrid's case, it should also include amount they must be paying to AS and Marca to drive club agenda.
 
This whole window was part of a "masterplan". Mourinhos agent Jorge Mendes clearly knew it would be difficult to get his major clients to United this summer given we weren't in the Champions League, so Jose, Jorge and Ed Woodward planned to target Mino Raiola's best clients this year to improve the squad and this will surely be followed by United signing Jorge Mendes' players in the next summer window.

Thats the window I cannot wait for. When Jorge Mendes drops a catalogue of all his players on Eds desk. Summer 2017 isngoing to be one that dreams are made of.

Great strategy boys. I salute you.

Really?! People already waiting for next summer to sign a few players?
I hope this season is a huge success and we don't have to buy a single player next year.

Our squad and staff is awesome right now, how about waiting a few games and give them a chance before calling for Griezmann etc?
 
But that 105m EUR is still in line with what was always said - 80m for Pogba and 20 to agent.
€105m to Juventus over 3 years is the key point. What they do with it and what contractual obligations they have with that money is not our concern.

And that it took a legal case to resolve Neymar's and we still don't definitively know the full amount there. Likely, never will.
 
Theres a Jet2 flight arriving from Nice at 1.30pm. I suppose we've got to watch the pennies now we've spent £145m on Pogba, right?

What a legend, Di Marzio doing half our work for us, telling us what flight he is on.

I didn't say it was? All I'm saying is abnormal fees (20m worth) should not be ignored when looking at the price involved of bringing a player to the club.

Also, pretty much every big transfer fee involves staggered payments.

You will never know, so it's best to just go by the official fee. And we don't know what portion of the 20% actually goes to Raiola, most of it is probably going to Pogba.

:lol: Di Marzio is Kermit himself. Even flight tracking, what a muppet!

Wouldn't surprise me if he's in fact a member of the Caf. Maybe he's ehsanul - just trying to deflect attention with all the Real Madrid nonsense.

I agree. Most likely, they cant keep all that money but need to pay the agent etc. Not our concern though

What abnormal fees are you talking about? We are paying Juventus a transfer amount of €105m. Why you're obfuscating further is beyond me. Any 20m fees paid to Raiola is to be done by Juventus, because of their (apparent) obligations.

That's not what was reported by Di Marzio/other reputable journos. We apparently caved to pay the agent fees for them.

EDIT - I missed this article - so maybe some further info here? http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/...ogbas-transfer-to-manchester-united-released/

Doesn't load up at work though.
