Yeah sure let's do all this and give up. Move onto somebody well below his level and do it all again next year
That's what I don't understand with some posters. I'm still skeptical that this will happen, but I realize that if Pogba is truly available, we simply must pay whatever it takes, or we'll be settling for a midfielder way below his level. There's literally nobody that's available close to Pogba's level or potential.
It's still stuck on agent fee. I genuinely think there's a chance the deal is off.
If we were willing to pay the agent fee, why does it take so long since there's no chance Raiola giving up his money and Juve paying it for us?
If woodward doesn't agree to pay it by this weekend, I think we will just give up and pogba will stay at Turin.

Thing is, most journos just report what they're told, some bullshit, some genuine real info. Thats why some a hit and miss, some getting more right than they do wrong. Some people might say it's just guesswork, but you can be sure some of the more reputable journos do have their sources within clubs, and some papers are really close to clubs too and are used as a clubs mouthpiece (Real and Marca for example).
Then you get the absolute utter wankstains such and Indykaila who will lie about anything and everything in order to get clicks. More clicks, more money. People like him, and accounts like utdreport who do use real journos info but twist it and turn it and sometimes add their own little bits to make things sound worse or better are definitely to be avoided

That would require a €150m transfer fee.
It's clearly just Raiola's fee holding this deal up.. But it's hardly his fault, if there was a clause in his Juve contract, then they should just pay the man!
Although we'll end up paying it, or at least coming to some kind of 50/50 agreement.

So, when does Pogba's holidays end?
Allergri's quotes have me convinced now.
For the money involved here, there probably isn't a player in the world we couldn't get, save Messi and Maybe Ronaldo.
I did suggest that splitting the difference would be a likely outcome and/or acceptable resolution in a previous post.
You've been convinced for a while now, no?
The problem with the 50/50 agreement is that Raiola is due a fee for this transfer too.
Yes, but the difference is, those players aren't available. They are already at top tier clubs, and are getting paid as highly as we'd offer them.
Not really. I shit bricks every time I see the word Madrid.
Was hoping that Pogba's move would break down due to the fee that is being mentioned, but Raiola has Woody bent over all ready to go, he will get his one way or the other.
Exactly. And we are getting Pogba. And we need less that 600 posts to break the Vidal thread record. What's there not to like? Saving my last today's post in case Pogba signs today.
There's plenty.
We wouldn't get Neymar either. Barca themselves spent close to 100 million or more in total (incl 'agent' fees to beymar's dad) to get him.
You deserve a new tag as GOD of the Pogba thread now!YES!
I think that is why the twitter tw4t keeps quoting #145.
That is by far the saddest thing I've seen in this thread.
And that's saying something.
It is not Raiola in the wrong here. Those stingy pasta tossing bambinos at Juve stole him from us with promises to Raiola about the 20%, so then they better pay up.
Who? Save maybe Neymar, like @Kevin says.
All players are available for the right price. If the club are keen on the money offered by another club they will most likely get their way. Like with di Maria for example.
No, of course we can't. I'm saying there aren't many players who's club wouldnt accept an offer of the size we're now making for Pogba.
Where's your sense of drama and muppetry??
I don't see how his latest quotes confirm anything at all? It's the most generic answer ever!
Everyone except the obvious two and Neymar.
I'm not saying there's a better alternative out there, just that he isn't the only one we could get for this kind of money. I'm more than happy with Pogba coming, I don't see how we could do any better.
Hang on, the man's doing his job. If it's in black and white what he's owed as per the terms of the previous contract Juve should honour that, it's pretty poor business etiquette. Raiola should hold them to account.
Instead, they are using it as part of a negotiation tactic with us and seemingly won't agree to finalise the deal without Raiola's fee's being at least part funded. It will not stand them in good stead for the future if they are known to renege on contracts they sign or use below the belt tactics to weasel out of it. Just a few points of note:
1) Raiola isn't going to throw away his commission easily, the last thing he wants is for the deal to go south
2) Rhetoric out of both United and Juve camps suggest that this deal is close to completion
3) Reputable media outlets are reporting the deal as being all but completed
4) There are plenty of reasons as to why this move makes sense for Pogba
The missing bit of info for me is whether or not Juve can afford all the alleged signings/fees for their incoming players (Higuain) without the Pogba money? If they can't then this deal is sure to complete sooner or later, regardless of who throws their toys out of the pram the furthest.
Wait, so Raoila negotiated a fee with Juve (based on future transfer fee) for helping them to steal Pogba from us and now they want us to pay that fee???
They must think Woodward was born yesterday!

Its not that simple. Juve probably told us they want 100m for Pogba. We then said okay sure, then Juve reminded us that what that actually means is we have to pay Mino 20% cut before the price. Which is obviosuly cheeky of them.
They have a price that they want which excluded Minos share. When in reality their prices would normally include his share.
Even though all of what they said is how most of us feel and know to be true, it's good to hear it from a less biased entity
Most of the names people would throw out! This has been done ad nauseum in this thread already.
Juve have apparently had a bid for Gabigol accepted now as well. These endless signings from Juve must mean that Pogba is gone. Otherwise they have some enormous war chest stashed away somewhere that no-one knows about.
Yeah. It's very, very sad.
That is by far the saddest thing I've seen in this thread.
And that's saying something.
The Independent scooped me.
As for wasting my time creating this very apt case study, it is mine to waste after all. BTW, feel free to peruse my monumental fail!
EDIT: And that is it for my 5 posts a day. Perhaps I will just reply to people by editing this post into eternity? Hehe...

You don't have to compile long lists of Pogba stories. We still like you.
So Duncan Castles gets a lot of hate on here but he was the first to break the story?
There's now 0ver 600 pages can he go back and start again?Wait, you went through 136 pages of this thread?!
Feck me, we have to wait till August 6th now?
Ok I have just watched the Italian Sky Sports woman give info on the situation via UK Sky Sports.
This is all done. She even had exact wages etc. It literally is just waiting for us to pay Raiola's €20m (not 25 like some are reporting.)
As soon as either us or Juve pay it, Pog is ours.
I can't see Jose letting them f**k this up over a few quid. We would probably be looking at selling a fair few players as well.
Pogba is as good as done for me.

Yes but it's probably not even true, just journos looking for stories about how tough Juve have been in negotiations to appease their fans and filling time/headlines before it is announced.
