In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
No wonder the fee is so high. Giving an agent 25% of a future transfer fee is ridiculous.
With that clause, we didn't have any chance keeping him in the first place.
So what? No one's listening.
My point exactly.
People believing sources when it suits them. Still can't see what Balague said wrong? Pogba prefers Real ? Well that's obvious.
People need to look beyond the fee. Whether you think he's currently worth £100m is by the by.
Does he have clear potential to be worth that in 2 or 3 years?
If your answer to the above is yes then he's worth it.
Think Martial. Was he on paper worth £36 last summer based on his career to that point? No chance. One year later and he'd probably fetch at least £50m.
Pogba's more of a known quantity so it's different but he's still only 23, nowhere near his peak, and already one of the best midfielders in the world.

As much as footballer wages are ridiculous, at least they are being paid for their talent - why should an agent get such a big amount, they are just a broker.
If Pogba was still our player and at his current level would people want to sell him to Madrid for £100m? Hell no.
Only if he wanted to go. I don't like the idea of keeping players he don't want to be here.
they're rules about attacking posters and not the posts. calling me a cnut is a pretty pathetic post

No one likes Fellaini around here. When you say he's better option than others, what kind of response are you expecting? I actually agree with your original statement for what it's worth.
We're metaphorically using his tears as lube.
I know. I don't know why i bother really. I think i can't really fathom why herrera in particular gets a free pass from two years of mediocrity, when Mata (whos been better by far), fellaini and rooney (who've been as good) get slated. Its just boring reading it over and over.
Anyway, this is off topic a bit i guess. That pogba, hope we buy him!
Yes, that's reasonable.
I hope we buy him too. I hope he sees us as a challenge, and wants to grow with the team, as opposed to Real Madrid where he'll be joining a group of players that have already attained great successes that he wasn't a part of.
Yeah, in this crazy new market, I'd put Martial well above 50M. As for Pogba, I do think the price is inflated but we might as well leverage our strong financial position while we can. Strike while the iron is hot...
Herrera had a good first season
I don't buy the 30% to the agent story. What the feck has the agent fee got to do with the transfer fee to Juve? And it was 20%, less then 48 hours ago.
It just sounds like another excuse by the media to inflate the deal.
Will todays game have any effect on his transfer? Hat-trick and Real has to have the latest shiny toy? Or, he goes missing for 90 min and we announce him tomorrow?
Well mr keyboard warrior, calling someone an attention seeking whore indirectly is OK is it mate?
Take a look at yourself. Jumped straight all over me without a moments hesitation once I posted obviously looking for a fight.
Your insecurities are your own with regards to false information and I understand that frustration.
judge me after. That is all. Enjoy your Sunday.
Off to work now! Sad scarred face.
The agent fee depends on the transfer fee and it's generally 15%. The 30% are probably a lie.
I'm thinking the same. Castles also makes a very silly comparison to Renato Sanches and his EURO performances, citing how cheap he was at €35m, conviently forgetting that there are very easily achievable bonuses that are there to be met.
Irrespective of whether you truly are ITK, @ChaddyP is right, you're acting petty and some of your posts have been aggressive and "pathetic". Do you expect everyone to blindly praise you for reassuring everyone that we'll sign him?
Oh a little friend has piped up. Took you long enough. Mate grow up. If I was a whore like I was called on here, then yeah I could make some extra wage with some information.Bummer. Should just make a few phone calls and "get paid for what you know"
Not my style.
Sure thing Walter Mitty..
Just noticed that while United could be offering 100M EUR, Gareth Bale transfer fees were 100.8M EUR. We actually received 800K for Pogba 4 years ago. Funny numbers 
.
.What the absolute hell is going on in here?!
You guys got him banned
He just wanted to share what he heard from someone, should have taken it easy on the newbie.

you would think Raiola would do us a solid and waive the fee, you know buy 2 get 1 free sort of deal.
He got himself banned, and not just because of this thread.You guys got him banned

Pogba needs to develop more over the next few years to justify this price tag. In the Euro matches I have watched, he has been doing good, but not like a world class mid. However, he would be better than our current options and I can't wait to have him back in our team. What a star from Mourinho. Can't wait.
With the French team, he has not been played in his favored/best position though. Did you watch him regularly during Juventus games too or are you judging his quality on the basis of games in Euro 2016?
Bwekfazt
Can we let the "ITK" people back in. This place is a lot more fun with them than without.
No it isn't.
your post is attention seeking just like this one. have a coke and a snickers.
I don't think he's been utilised properly. Obviously now in the 4-2-3-1 he has less freedom but even in the 4-3-3 he was being asked to keep back. Deschamps seemed to want him to play like Kroos and dictate things but I think he is more of an impact player.
