Raiola is a twat. What else is new?
Dont expect the pessimists to read this.Raiola said Zlatan could move to a different club than United. He said that only a few hours before Zlatan announced himself on social media.
He's just hyping it up.
That kind of makes it worse for me as it means Adidas, Raiola and Pogba are playing with the fans feelings over some stupid advertising campaign.
Again this isnt Raiola asking for 20m Euros out of the blue to finish the deal. Its a deal they agreed when Juventus signed Pogba that in the future the player is sold, 20% of the transfer fee goes to Pogba/agent.He owns part of a player the richest club in the world are desperate to buy.
He's a football agent. Football agents like money.
I didnt literally mean you said cnut. I meant you're making him out to be the bad guy.When did I ever say he was cnut?
Don't be putting words in my mouth.
What happened to deal done within next 48 hours???

Di Marzio > RaiolaHow come the thread title hasn't been updated with Raiolas tweet? Is he on the banned list?
People like Scholes, Giggs, Totti, Del Piero are once in a bluemoon type of players. Everyone wants to make money and be rich nowadays so they just go where the money is.I really do think Agents have far too much power. We all know Fergie hated them to the core. Wish more were like Scholes.....since he was his own agent (although admittedly didn't hawk himself round the globe during his career!)
Which if the deal really is a 'done deal', it means its being delayed purposely for some stupid ad campaign. Talk about thinking of the fans last lol.And United. We're in on it. Juve probably too.

So what happens when we hit 1000 pages? Will it break the Caf?
They're obviously just parroting you. I'm far too proud of that one!in my defence, my Twitter is still going mad with people retweeting and favouriting my tweet, so I'm not a lone muppet! I'm not the only one seeing parrots....
But but how he is trying to make as much money when in reality he is entitled to that money? Think of it this way. You have a corporate job and first year you earn $100,000 in wages. Every year you're entitled to 10% of your wages as bonus. So the first year you get an extra $10,000 in your pocket because its a contract. The second year your salary goes up to $200,000. But 10% of that is $20,000 not $10,000. You're not trying to be the bad guy by holding out for the $20k if they are willing to give you only $10k. You're entitled to that $20K. I feel we have a similar situation here with the three parties involved.He's trying to get as much money as possible. He knows how much United want Pogba and he is exploiting it.
He's certainly not a cnut, but not quite a saint either. Just a greedy bastard, in more ways than one by the looks of him.
Nervous Muppets, Get a grip.
It's part of Adidas campaign. The last tweet Raiola gave said No deal Blah blah blah. A few days later Adidas launch their blah blah blah teaser. A bit later they released the ad with Pogba Stormzy and the Utd logo with newspapers folded as Parrots. Now Raiola says 'Journalists = Parrots'. It's not a coincidence. He's making money from all this (from Adidas association with Paul). It's all an elaborate hype building exercise now. Funny how all of you ignore that he also said it's a competition to see who announces it first.
They're obviously just parroting you. I'm far too proud of that one!
But....I thought they were seagulls...?How are those birds in the Adidas ad parrots? Those look like vultures made of newspaper. The ad was trying to convey the fact that newspapers are like vultures. They are just waiting to feed on anything and talk a lot of shit, so don't believe everything you hear.
This thread should be so much more fun and celebratory, and yet, people still want to act like this isn't nailed on. Why?
Because nothing has changedHow come the thread title hasn't been updated with Raiolas tweet? Is he on the banned list?

Maybe. They even released a Juventus ad this morning.Adidas video tweet that has Pogba, Stormzy and the United Badge, seems to be a teaser for the complete United First Never Follows ad, which probably includes that TV presenter talking about Mourinho. They have one for almost all of their clubs, Real, Chelsea, AC Milan. Just us and Bayern Left if I'm not mistaken.
At this point one has to question the sanity of those still doubting that it's only a matter of time until the deal is complete.
Scepticism is understandable to a certain extent. Even cynicism and negativity can be excused. But what we are seeing right now is people going beyond paranoia and acting outright deranged.
TMZ (horrible website) going full muppet in LA "congrats on the contract"
Off course without knowing but based on my experience in business this is a done deal. All signs points at one direction without any real discrepancy.
If people are talking and emotionally invested because of your campaign, you've won big time.This is a horrible, horrible campaign. Playing with the emotions of fans of two of the biggest clubs in the world, honestly don't know who the feck came up with this stupid idea and I'd be really interested to know how they spin it so as not to ultimately end up disrespecting either club, irrespective of the final outcome of this God forsaken saga.
