Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

You'd think sense would dictate that if there's agreement between all the clubs and the player, the agent will be willing to take a cut to get it done as it's a case of being paid "x" million less than £20m vs. £0...

Wouldn't be overly concerned if we don't sign him for mental cash and we get Matuidi for slightly less mental money.

All based on the assumption that the following information is correct.

1/ Raiola + Juventus have a contract stating that Juventus have obligation to pay a 20% fee of any future transfer of Pogba.
2/ After preliminary agreement on fee between Man Utd and Juve, Juve then insist Man Utd pay agents fee

This is how it should be done.

1/ Man Utd in coordination with Raiola should have a legal binding document between themselves stating that both parties are in acknowledgement that Juve are essentially blackmailing Man Utd by attempting to invalidate the contract between Raiola and Juve re 20% fee.
2/ Man Utd should pay the agreed fee to Juventus and Raiola's 20% fee
3/ Use the legally binding document made between Man Utd + Raiola to sue the feck out of Juventus.
4/ Make sure that the legal case is dragged out in the public domain using ALL means neccessary to make it clear what type of underhanded club Juventus are and in the process destroying all notion of the 'romance' that the name Juventus once had.
5/ After winning the legal case against Juventus make it clear that Man Utd stand for freedom, honesty and integrity

And finally

Feck Juventus

Oh and please have pity on a fellow n00b muppet, redcafe member and help me to the realms of manhood

I imagine it's much more straightforward than that. Juve, at the time, agreed with Raiola that he'd be entitled to 20% of the fee on sale. What the fee demanded for Pogba would be doesn't appear to have been specified. That's the key. I presume they're now saying that they'll pay that fee, but only if United pay them a sum of approx. €120m + the agent's fee. Or United can pay his fee/negotiate a different fee with him, I doubt they care, really. It's all the same. Basically they want to make a clear €120m regardless of how/by whom Raiola is paid. If United agree to pay the €145m or whatever it is then I'd imagine Juve will happily write a cheque.
 
Why don't we give raiola a seat on the board in place of £20mil ?? He's got some good players in his stable :confused:

And a massive kick in his balls the scumbag
 
It's time for Pogba to act. If he wants the move, it's about time he submits a transfer requests and starts throwing a tantrum.
 
"looking nervous" "looking frustrated", are you journalists or body language experts? :lol: Maybe he was annoyed you were stalking him
 
If Raiola is frustrated that's good. Clearly wants his money and will do anything to get it so he will try to force the deal.

switch targets? if Woodward doesn't pull this off it will haunt him for the rest of his career, he will never live it down from a PR p.o.v

Not only is the narrative that United want Pogba, it's that Mourinho is desperate to get him and United doing everything possible to make it the happen.

No the narrative is that we have 3 targets and we need to get 1 of them.
 
After those tweets I'm starting to think we aren't gonna get him. Haven't felt that way before.
 
So much for a lot of us going on about Pogba not being worth the money mentioned and then Gonzalo Higuain goes doe €100m.. fecking hell :lol:
 
Man can someone reassure me because this doesn't look like concluding anytime soon.

This is how you're tested. They test your resolve these journos. Stay strong man. He is coming. They will cave in.

I'm trying man it's just that if we can't find an agreement soon then there is no way he is coming.
 
This deal is done.
All we are seeing now is a journo-fest to allow Juve to save face in front of their fans, so they can claim they sold Pogba for full asking price and even made United pay Raiola's fee.
United will pay what they are willing to pay, and if it gets beyond that they will let it go. Pogba is worth more to United than to any other club. This is like a company merger where there are great synergies. We want him to resolve a large part of our midfield issues for the next 10 years, and also for marketing purposes he will be a mainstay of United brand, benefiting the club and also Pogba. Not even Madrid can match that, and everyone involved in the negotiations know it.

Because you specifically said we could get all 4 for 100m pounds

Some established veteran like Howedes or Subotic (last time I checked Subotic was going for €10-15MM) would be a good backup and complement Smalling very well. Can John Terry be had? How about de Vrij, Koscielny, Mascherano?

Say €20-25MM for a CB, another €45MM for Mahrez, another €60MM for Fabregas = below the lunacy we're trying to pay for one player (~€145MM). Maybe I'm being unrealistic with each one of these players' aptitudes and actual cost, but my point is we can really improve the squad with a larger portion of fantastic footballers than a single massive outlay on a CM.

Love Pogba, but at €145MM it becomes detrimental to bigger picture.
 
If people think about it, we've heard everything. Only yesterday, Higuains deal was going to take another week. Today AS lie and it's quickly dispelled. People just need to be patient. Napoli and Juve are meant to be great rivals but (i'm assuming), Napoli did Juve a favor by allowing two payments....it's for show. This was always going to be a difficult deal but United will not wilt even though some people lack what it takes to see it through. So chill.
 
Just remembered that the last time Raiola got frustrated he brought us a certain targaryan :smirk:
 
This is mad , some saying its on, others are shitting it saying its off WTF can't wait for this thread to be closed!! And it be done with!! It's like a drug I keep telling myself, I'm not gonna check again, then ten mins later..... :wenger:
