So what happens to the Raiola fee now? Is Juve paying it? Seems a bit odd that they would sell for €105m now after all the rumors about €120m or even €145m.
€105m minus the agent fee leaves them with * 0.70 = €73.5m.

Given the money is being paid over three years, if the pound gets stronger over the next year or two, the amount we pay goes down, since we will still pay the same amount of Euros to them... no?
Or did I just make that up completely missing something
It depends how our income stream is denominated. Presumably our payments from the Premier League are in pounds. Same obviously for our gate receipts. But our biggest, single source of income now is commercial. In what currency are those contracts drawn? I imagine a lot of them may be in dollars and some may even be in Euros. Or maybe not.
That's an accounting thing. It doesn't have anything to do with how Utd actually pay Juve.
The other thing is that Woodward seems determined to end the practice of Real and Barca automatically snapping up the best talent, and he's now proven it with this transfer, so you have to have faith that he won't be willing to sell Pogba to Spain at all, and that he'll be able to keep him here (assuming we still want him here). There's no reason we can't be like PSG in this regard.
Yep, I agree. Paying terms will be dependent on how we agree on installments - won't be surprised if we just adjust to how Juventus will be paying Napoli for Higuain (although they will be paying Napoli in just two years, €45m per year).
can't wait to see what he looks like in a united shirt.
The deal could be us paying Juve £90million worth of Calzones plus match fixing bonuses over 5 years for all we know, the headline will still be a record £90million transfer.
Maybe the fat cnut decided to think about his client for once and was willing to take a lesser cut.
Just when you think you've seen the daftest football fans in the world.....along come Man Yoo fans following a fecking plane on FlightRadar!! Staggeringly funny!
Yeah I know but the league in Italy is dead so for Pogba to stand out, he would have to rely mostly on European Competition. Be under no illusion - if he wanted to go to Spain, they would have made it happen. Look at how we've potentially structured the deal. Did no one suggest that to Madrid? But Madrid have won 2 of the last 3 (if memory serves) CL's so there was an obvious pull - especially with Zidane currently in charge. I wouldn't worry about them. He's got family here, friends here for starters. If we climb back to the top, why would he leave? If he wanted to crack the American market, he could do that at United. I think really it depends on ourselves. We have to be back challenging. Our future is to be written but it's looking healthier then it has. Madrid, are at a peak. Where do they go from here? Will Zidane be able to repeat last season? Time will tell. We have a better relationship with his agent - which Madrid don't have and the money we would screw out of them clubs......I'm not sure they'd meet our demands. We have a lot going for us.
There was that 'rumor' only hearsay - that he would return and it would make sense, especially with his family in the UK. That is a strong pull. Playing for Madrid or seeing your mother more often? He might prefer the latter and it doesn't seem she's got a desire to move to Spain. 3/4 years is a long time.....I think we can all breath anyhow

Never done that before - I'm hooked!
Europa League payments are in Euros
Good. At least we're assured of that 350 euros.
Raiola's entitled to 20% of the transfer fee not 30.I imagine he may also have agreed to a lower fee.United and Juve may be sharing the fee.
Is there a bigger bellend that Souness?
Former Newcastle and Liverpool manager Graeme Souness said: "I think you can be kidded by Pogba because when he moves he's like a Rolls Royce, but I've never seen him get hold of a game and dominate.
"I don't see him changing that many games. It's not like they've bought a Luis Suarez who will get you 50 goals a season."
50 in Spain yes in what is effectively a two/three horse race.
The bitterness is something else.

Yesterday we were following the wrong plane
Where did this €30M/year suddenly surface from and get taken as fact?
If the fee is €110M, then €30M a year for 3 years must mean we're getting a discount.
If people are going to spout bollocks, can they at least provide a source for the bollocks, so we can at least decide whether or not it may or not be, in fact, bollocks?

No fecking way.
He didn't suddenly start scoring in La Liga, his return in first Barcelona season was lower than his final two seasons at Liverpool.
Pogba has the ability to influence games for United even more than Suarez does for Barcelona though. Silly talk by Souness. We've already witnessed what a strong combative midfielder can do for you when Toure won trophies for City, and Pogba will be far better than Toure ever was.
Souness really is hurting. Why is he comparing a central midfielder to a striker like Suarez? Players like Pogba aren't in the team to score fifty goals per season; that isn't his job.
Should we expect an MUTV interview tonight?
Probably just a mistake over pounds and euros, £89m would be roughly £30m a season for 3 years.
To be fair Suarez scored 31 in 33 games in the league in England. Would have scored more if Liverpool were in Europe.
To be fair a lot of people on this forum were saying we shouldn't pay so much because he's not Messi or Ronaldo. I don't understand it really. The best teams have the best players in every position, not a load of donkeys in defence and midfield with Messi or Ronaldo up front.
Rumours suggest he'll officially be unveiled tomorrow to the press, so I'd hazard a guess that we'd expect it then.
Makes sense, dominate the media cycle for a longer period of time - make the absolute most of the biggest transfer in history from a public relations viewpoint.
I dont really mind Souness, but what he is saying is ridiculous. Zidane wont get 50 goals, yet in todays market would be 150m+.
That said, Pogba, imo is capable of producing Lampard type numbers
On the Juve Forum they are still having hissy fits about him being on the Juve main website.
I love those guys over at Juventuz, they have really made this whole saga especially enjoyable for me
That's an extra
United like a full day of media.
I suspect we will see an early morning announcement, some twitter crap, written quotes, then an MUTV interview at 12, exclusive online video at 2, bla bla bla
Would be surprised to see an evening announcement today

It's really cringeworthy. Is that why some were calling this thread amazing/legendary?

Didn't he play on the wing first season, then swap with Messi since?
Can't believe this is really happening.
You’d think so, yeah. Can imagine a milking of epic proportions by United.
But we're not buying him in £, we're buying in €, €110M. So are we going to pay €36.6666M per year?
Again, it's just spouting bollocks without any attempt at a source, it doesn't even make sense.
True, and not even a world record transfer will turn a centre mid into a fifty goal man. Forwards usually attract the biggest fees of course, but that doesn't always have to be the case: we broke the British record to sign Rio. I hope Gary Neville winds up Souness something rotten.
