But you know that if it indeed was just about relationships between agents and Mourinho, then we'd have tons of Mendes' players as he is Mou's agent, no?
You make a good point. It is, of course, all about the money.

But Pogba's wages aren't that unreasonable fot such a transfer.You can't just dismiss the agent fee as part of the transfer. Pogba is going to cost over £100m easily and that's before his wages are considered. City could afford to buy him but he would take a substantial amount of the budget when other areas still need addressing.
Pogba will never sack Raiola.If this deal is hanging on him taking a pay cut from 20% down to 10% or even 5%, you better believe it will get done. There is no way this man is missing out on a pay day no matter what the % is. 2% is better than 0%.
I'm not having any of the nonsense gossip that his percentage is holding this deal up. Imagine ruining someone's career just because you wanted a bigger piece of cake? Pogba would just sack him if he did wreck this transfer for him. Not worth it.
What does it say?
So been asleep for the past 8 hours. What did I miss? Anyone give me a quick update?
Because the greedy sod wants his 20% and the deal won't be done until that happens.
Yep, Mourinho and Raiola are not overly friends, his agent is Mendes.
Concerning your point of City being above United, that's pure speculation and I can't wait to start next year to prove it on the field. United is not just buying players, the club has some of the brightest talents lined up and one of them already scored against City while we had a negative philosophy. Pogba and all the other new signings are going to change that.
Youre seem fairly new to the muppet season. This is what happens during summers. Everyone gives you negative news. You need to strong and be positive. If its good news believe it. If its bad news its bullshit. That concept will get you through muppet season.Hopefully you're right. And I can see that there's probably nothing strange with Marotta's comment. But why would Raiola, by himself, announce on his Twitter account, that there is no deal, if in fact there is a deal that's close to being finalised? I would just like to here for what reason that could be? I fail to see what could be gained by making such a statement. Do you have a guess?
Welcome to 10 hours ago!!
Welcome to 10 hours ago!!
Media saying it's now a done deal, Juventus want €120m and United are willing to pay. The only thing holding it up is the add-on's for Pogba's agent and other minor details. Pogba has his bags packed and will not return to Turin when his holiday is over on August 7th.So been asleep for the past 8 hours. What did I miss? Anyone give me a quick update?
Call Raiola's bluff.
Buy Matuidi and James. 100m will ALWAYS be a lot of dough.
THATS the level we are at with this bid, the level where if it dont happen = No biggie.
Call his bluff by signing his other client Matuidi?Call Raiola's bluff.

Raiola maybe like to wum but at least it's clear the deal isn't imminent.
Could be another week at least.

If you were about to become to world record transfer fee and some guy who makes a living off you ruins the deal because he wants a gold plated mansion instead of a gold plated bungalow, you'd sack him tomorrow. If Raiola doesn't have Pogba's best interests at heart (no matter what the motivation), Pogba would have gotten rid by now.Pogba will never sack Raiola.
Are you ITK? You come across that way.It won't be that long.
If the reports are true, then this deal should be done by weekend. If it's not then it will never happen.It won't be that long.

Anyway this is pretty much a done deal. Seems like only minor issues need to be sorted before its official
Sorry for not reading every single post on 484 pages of madness....
Nah, not really. Been following ins and outs pretty closely since around David Beckham, Veron and RVN. But I'm probably just getting a bit too "involved" with this one. And let's not forget the Hazard, Lucas, Sneijder, Thiago, Vidal sagas etc. although I will give you that this one does seem a bit closer. But I still do believe this will most likely happen - I'm just taking some(maybe too many) precautions. But I think it's strange that both Marotta and Raiola publicy deny the deal if it is in fact so close to being done, which seems to be the consensus.Youre seem fairly new to the muppet season.

To be fair, if I was contractually owed 20% of €120m, I'd be pretty damn adamant about getting paid!Because the greedy sod wants his 20% and the deal won't be done until that happens.
This would just help fund Real Madrid to sign Pogba instead. Raiola gets his money either wayOk then, Sign Gomes and James, purposely linking two Mendes clients.
Raiola maybe like to wum but at least it's clear the deal isn't imminent.

I am getting a Vidal vibe from this saga.I remember i kept saying that i thought the Vidal, Sneijder abd Ramos stories were manufactured sagas from the press. I'm now wondering if the same is happening here and I've just been sucked in too this time.
If all these papers are wrong and just following the lead of other news outlets, making it seem more credible through sheer number of reports, this could write easily be a load of bollocks.
How much is the exact transfer fee?
Shut up you clownYoure seem fairly new to the muppet season. This is what happens during summers. Everyone gives you negative news. You need to strong and be positive. If its good news believe it. If its bad news its bullshit. That concept will get you through muppet season.
