If only Pogba had a £70m release clause.
What you should be saying is 'If only Pogba had a £100m release clause' as that would mean we'd be the only feckers who could pay it and there'd be none of this agent percentage drama and Juve wouldn't have been able to ask anything more either. We'd have just got the player's nod, and gone ahead with it, all done and dusted in no time.

Juventus is helping that greedy (SAF previously felt) agent of Pogba to get more agent fees.
I think it is high time for United to walk away from this deal. Maybe, Juventus after committing the huge amount of money to sign Hugain,
will offer to pay for that agent fees.
If not, for 100million pounds, I rather United go and buy a few other players. The likes of Matic, Calvalho, Matuidi, Ramsey, Stones, Bonucci can surely be improvements to United current squad.

If we did, Real will step in. They might not pay quite as much but it's not going to teach Juventus much of a lesson. Best bet is just to suck it up, pay the fees and remember this the next time that Juventus come calling for one of our own.

It would send a message that we're not going to be jerked around....by anyone! As much as it would grieve me, I would be 100% behind United if they told Juve and Raiola to just feck off. We would be able to utilise the money on two, maybe three quality signings instead of pinning our hopes on just one.

Yeah we get Pogba then he does his does his hamstring, a Kurt Zouma or worse still a Demba Ba, which is not beyond the realms of impossibility...we're fecked and back to square one!
 
But doesn't this minimum fee have to be paid in full? Maybe, the Napoli board found the fee acceptable and agreed to let them pay over 2 installments. Otherwise, what's the point of having a release clause.

No how transfer fees are paid are determined by both clubs. When the player buys out his contract however is a different thing all together
 
Can juve spend so much without pogbas sale? Iirc they were financially ok but not that rich per say.

Apparently Napoli are allowing them to pay the release clause in two halves - one this summer and the other part next year, so they'd be fine even if they keep Pogba.

Juve have confirmed it themselves in the tweet above:

Juventus Football Club can today confirm that it has purchased the registration rights of Gonzalo Higuain for €90 million, payable in two financial years.
 
Delaney's take:



The way I understand the Pogba situation is that it's not the normal ahents fee going to Raiola that utd are peeved about.
As I understand it, when Pogba signed for Juve, Raiola had a % built into the next transfer (away from juve) that would go directly to him (not his usual agents fee but a % of the transfer fee that juve would pay him.) Juve are insisting that United pay this but as it was built into the original contract that juve would pay, then clearly (and quite rightly) that is not something United feel they should be doing. I guess the way round this would be to pay the fee and write a similar clause into his United contract going forward.

If it's written that Juve pay out of the transfer fee then legally they ain't got a leg to stand on, I think it's not clear who's liable which is causing the delay, either way Raiola is rubbing his hands!
 
Isn't the case that Juve own the money to Pogba's agent (at least that's what I heard on the radio). If true then its got nothing to do with United and his agent should allow the deal to be completed and then take Juve to court?

No, in fact they got two

They don't have to sell Pogba so they don't have to pay out the transfer fee, simple as that. If United want the player, Juve can just say for our part we want €120m but we aren't paying the €20m part of Raiola from it because then we are only left with €100m and we want atleast €120m sitting in our accounts if Pogba ends up leaving. Either you pay us €20m more so we cover Railoa's part from that, our you pay him directly the €20m or you negotiate a deal with Raiola so you don't have to pay the fee or whatever, but we want €120m basta or Pogba doesn't go. If that is their stand United will eithe rhave to payout Raiola, or negotiate a deal with Raiola to let his part go or will have to let the Pogba deal go but legally Juve are pretty strong because there is no obligation to sell. If there was a €120m reease clause and United had triggered it, it would have a different case as raiolas cut would have to come from that and Juve can't ignore that nor the release clause but without one they can ask as much as they want and techincally they are asking for €140m at this point, which comes down to €120m after Raiola cut.
