BBC Sports News: Guardiola confirms Pogba signature for Man City

...and link it to a Rick'Roll Astley video, but last time I did that, Rado banned me for two days.

If United maximum outlay is 120m euros, but United agree to pay Raiola from this total outlay, Juve can actually keep about 4m euro more than if United pay 120m to Juve and then Juve pay Raiola.
See my post in page 658 for a full detail of how this works.

But what if they want to keep 120m and are asking us to pay 140m?

You think this is a game? :mad:

Whether or not United pay Raiola's fee is just simple math. Let's say United are willing to pay up to 120 million euros, total. There are 2 ways to structure the deal:

United pay Juve €100m
United also pay Railo's fee of €20m
Total outlay for United = €120m

If United pay Juve €120m
Juve must pay Raiola 20% of 120= €24m
Juve keeps €96m instead of €100m.
Total outlay for United is still €120m

So although in both cases the outlay is 120m, it does work out better for Juve if United agree to "pay" Raiola's fee instead of them. And that's how it is being done.

hmm makes sense

I have a question.

If juventus want 120 + we pay Riaola

and we dont want to pay Riaola and have offered 110, how exactly is the deal close? I just want to understand that concept :(

Juve were playing hardball, thinking moneybags United and muppet Woodward would pay up. They didn't realise that to get into our position, you have to be smart.

They need the money, behind closed doors Moratta is salivating over our massive schlong and the money we're offering.

Also some chairs were broken so they've given in to what we're prepared to offer.

It's muppet purgatory. I believe that tomorrow we will sign Vidal, Berbatov, Sergio Ramos, Moyes will be fired, LVG will be fired, Mourinho will be hired and we will finally announce Pogba, except I'm drunk and I don't really...........
 
Last time it was:

BBC: Van Gaal signs 3 year contract extension, Mourinho confirmed for PSG

...didn't go down well; Sorry Rado :(
 
Wed seemed a likely day for a while now. Could be an interesting 24 hours

And Riaola didn't even have to throw the chairs. Juve's cheap chairs couldn't handle his fat ass.

That's actually smart. So has no place in this thread.

Salivating , More like begging for it like a coke addict that just blew 75 million pounds on cocaine and needs to sell his priced Rolls Royce to pay it off before the bank forecloses on his house

Different situation. They had to sell, really. His image was too toxic in England after the World Cup.

to be honest even i thought 75 million was a damn good deal at the time based on his age and image of the player. bale and ronny were much younger and had more of a lifespan. Juventus are the ones that went muppet crazy with paying that much for him. Imagine us paying that kind of money for rvp in 2012 even if he had 5 years left on his contract
 
This is looking good now. Juve got Higuaín, so now this deal can go ahead. IMO, Juve are putting it on somewhat, making themselves seem hard to negotiate with. Which makes sense for them, it might put off clubs from going for their players in the future.

i disagree. they panicked. Everyone knew who Luis Suarez was. No one truly cared because he was a brilliant footballer.

75 million wasn't really a good deal since the market was putting its first feet into madness. David Luiz? Liverpool should have realized that the new TV deal money was going to let loose chaos. they could have gotten 100 million for him, easily.

Especially with both Madrid and Barca needing strikers.
 
Oh wow, I can't wait for tomorrow now! I still can't believe we're about to break the world record to sign arguably the most promising young player in world football! Praying for a BBC article tomorrow morning!

what would the TV deal in england have to do with Madrid and Barca. Luiz was a train wreck that year just came off a ban and went on to have another one where barca couldnt play him till end of october. Where liverpool were asshats was not getting Sanchez in exchange

:lol: He probably will.

I guess it matters less to me because I actually don't want us to sign Pogba. Don't get me wrong, he's a terrific talent and will be great for us, I just don't think any player should cost £100m on general principle.

...but that's for another thread and will become more and more common anyway.
