Google Real Madrid have sold over a million Cristiano Ronaldo shirts. Covered their fee. I remember hearing those news soon after CR7 was sold to them.

BTW, this is my last post, so you all get your wish for me to stop. I hope at least you saw some sense in what I was saying.

Sounds legit because everyone knows manufacturing, material, distribution, and marketing costs zero. And we sure as hell know Adidas won't be getting a portion of that. No need to let pesky contracts get in the way of rampant profits.

I'm even bored typing this post myself, but I'll bite. Adidas take the vast majority of shirt sales. Literally nothing more needs to be said, but I hope you in fact will see sense in what everyone else is saying.
"No club has ever directly recouped a player’s transfer fee through shirt sales. Adidas, Nike, Puma, and other kit suppliers get 85-90% of shirt sale revenue and this is the industry standard... at best, United are likely to see around £3 million in additional revenue".

Thanks to whoever initially posted this link, hell of a find. http://thesetpieces.com/features/transfer-window-myth-busting/#ixzz4FlsvvP7E

Why don't you try and work it out for yourself instead of just assuming some random article is true? Unless Madrid are selling every shirt for 80 each AND manufacturing and selling them for free without any involvement from Adidas how could it possibly be true.

We won't cover Pogba's fee with shirt sales but we do get a good percentage of shirt sales with the adidas deal. The nike deal was fixed.

Old enough to pay myself and a family member round trip fares from the states to watch Manchester United games at Old Trafford a couple of times a year. The last time I stayed at the Deansgate Hilton I actually had the pleasure of riding the elevator with Mourinho and his Real Madrid staff from the 8th floor to the 2nd floor. It was great to be with him face to face, you should have seen the look on his face when he saw me get into the elevator in my United kit.

And you, how old are you?

I don't think so, I think it's just a normal clause which Juve don't want to pay.

It's like selling a house and the seller refuse to cover the house agent commission (aka being a cnut over it)

On what planet does the seller refuse to cover the agents commission? They engaged the agent to sell the house! This is completely different.

Big bad Juventus, huge club, can't keep hold of one of their best players to a club with no Champions League. :( Seriously though, I actually like Juve as a club, some of their fans look right tits though.

On a more important note, I wonder how we plan on using Pogba. If we're going to play 2 in the middle which I believe, who will provide the defensive cover?

People underestimate the effect of having one superstar in football

When I grew up I idolized Beckham, and he happens to play for United. Long after Beckham retires I'm still a United fans. So don't underestimate the effect of having one Pogba to our fan base in the grand scheme of things.

I may not bought a Beckham shirt at that time due to being a schoolboy, but I'm 35 years now and over the years I have contributed to the United brand. Now imagine how many people will start following United due to their favorite player joining us, and once you're converted it'll last a lifetime.

Got my Cantona shirt when I was 7! Was a copy though.
 
So it's not even a world record after all things considered. 92m total fees with 84m to Juventus and 8m to Raiola.
 
Anyone who doesn't fear Madrid in the transfer market is a slow learner.
Granted, this deal has gone our way (phew!), but the fear that Madrid might've hijacked the deal was understandable.
We have been electrocuted by that lever more than once, and it's not a pleasant feeling. It goes without saying that many refuse to touch it again.

Anyway, Pogba is ours! And the assumption that Madrid also wanted him is hopefully true, because we get to say "nah nah nah nah nah"!

The issue wasn't making light at Madrid transfer power overall, it was the flimsy-at-best evidence to show they were in the pogba deal at all. The "madrid panic" people based there panic on AS rumours and zidane saying madrid like to get the best players.

Even Marca tempered Real interest on multiple times by saying James would have to be sold and Madrid didn't have the money to match MUFC offers.

If we were in an ACTUAL bid contest with Madrid, then yeah, most of us should have been worried. However the closest Madrid got was "monitoring" our bid. That kind of info doesn't deserve a massive freakout like we saw daily in this thread.

So we DON'T get to say nah nah nah nah nah? Pity :(

I think they wanted him, but simply couldn't afford him. Now, please god of football, let them buy Sissoko! :devil:

No way that is happening until the end of the day at the earliest. The good news will be the ultimate climax to your trip. Enjoy!

Haha, why not again?

The cost to United will be much lower than £92m very very quickly with all the shirt sales. Maybe after a couple of weeks week United will announce the initial shirt sales, and then we can talk about Pogba costing United £40m at that point.

Read up about how shirt sales work in terms of revenue to the club. The crux of it is that Utd get a very small share(10% approx) of the total money it generates. All this "we recouped the transfer fee in a month" bullocks was peddled by Perez iirc after signing Beckham and the myth has just continued from there.
 
I hope they announce something today. Us muppets will be so disappointed otherwise!!
 
Good morning muppets

I'll be home at 6pm (Uk time) is it too much to hope for that I will come home to an official announcement that Pogba is signing?

Weren't they saying 110m Euros?

110m Euros which includes the bonuses.

The most expensive transfer of the business of football history is about to be defined. TheJuventus is ready to greet Paul Pogba , which in turn is going to return to Manchester Unitedafter four years at Juventus. A gain that's dramatic, when you consider that the French had arrived in Turin on a free transfer: after the agreement reached between the two clubs will be about 110 million gross collected by Juventus, with the figure that also includes component on mediation - ie commissions confidential agent, Mino Raiola.

From DiMarzio site.
 
Raiolas £8m is included in the fee so it is still a World Record fee. Remember he is entitled to 20% of the total transfer fee. So if the fee is 100m he gets 20m and Juve 80m. So yes it is a World Record fee.
