To avoid paying the prick of an agent, could we buy a shit youth player for 120m instead and they give us pogba on a free?

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.
Didn't that doctor come out and say that medical bit is untrue? lol
LaStampa:
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
That La Stampa article written by Massimiliano Nerozzi, their most reliable journo
La Stampa claiming woodward is going to formalise the deal. It's on like donkey kong. feck AS and their perez narrative. At least La Stampa don't have a MUFC narrative.
IT'S ON!!!!
IT'S ON!!!!
Is la stampa or lequipe more reliable?
La Stampa regarding Juve.
Today's the day lads, said on Sunday it would all be confirmed today.
Pogba is hours away from United .... Does two weeks means hours too ?
It's true that since L'equipe and Bilel Ghazi broke the story it was only almost 480 hours ago, and we're still 'only' 864 hours until the market is closed so yes it's only a matter of hours until we get an answer from Woody
L'equipe says it's all done
RMC and Mohamed Bouafsi says that the fee is not agree neither the agent's fee
La Stampa and La Gazetta say it's only a matter of hours
And AS says that Pogba will go to Madrid with Woody giving them De Gea in bonus too

They were never it in to begin with
So, credible Italian newspaper with Juve links 'La Stampa' reports the deal nearly being complete, but dubious pro-Madrid newspaper 'AS' reports that a medical has been cancelled and he is of to Madrid.
It's off
It's off
Zidane quotes are worrying. Be interesting if they do push the boat now if the realise we are close. I still believe if they make an effort he will go there. Woodward better not balls this up.
What effort? Juventus won't give them a discount.
They won't meet Juventus' asking price. Won't pay Raiola's cut. They're out.
Fee breakdown
That's pretty much it. Why should they sell him for less to Madrid when they get much more from us. Not gonna happen.
I really hope you are right.
feck Madrid. Detestable club.
Can't believe how many on here yet cheer them on when they play Barca.

Fantastic if true.
La stampa is their local paper right? Shame how poor Manchester local papers are, always last to know.

Exactly. I'm sure they'd prefer selling him to us rather than Madrid as well. They'd be strengthening a direct CL rival.
My feeling is Perez is feeding the media (AS and co) and giving Zidane false hope while knowing full well that hhe cannot afford to stump up that amount
Basically Perez is stringing Zidane along.

Have hated Real since their public tapping up of Ronaldo in 2008.
I wished we didn't sell Ronaldo to them.
AS lied about that medical too. Pretty sure I read the doctor reported to do it in Miami flat out denied it.
La Stampa - by Nerozzi makes it reliable!
100M plus 15M for Raiola makes it a good deal considering they wanted 120 + 25 for Raiola!

Reports looking very promising this morning, the comments from Juve and their manager and today's report suggest we are in the final leg of the saga.
I think they were always going to nudge a bit.
Think riaola owns a % of pogba and given 3rd party ownerships aren't allowed in the PL, we have to buy his share out anyways. Not sure if I'm right though
I'm guessing Raiola's commission counts towards the total fee? Or is it just the money received by Juventus alone? 100m euros works out at 83m pounds at the current rate, so wouldn't be a world record.
It's not commission, he owns 20% of Pogba's playing rights.
30m saving isn't too shabby.
Even at such an extortionate level, negotiating will have been worthwhile.
The spare change could go towards the CB many people think we need to really compete.
Yes the price is €115m and a percentage of that goes to Raiola.
With all these social media/shit journo driven transfer sagas sometimes I really wish we could just make our own team of stars all british and irish lads with absolutely no interest in ever leaving for those cnuts in Madrid.
Ah yeah, fair enough then.
For all we know this deal was tied up ages ago and was dependant on Juve getting the rest of their business done. Considering United have made Raiola a considerable amount of money via Mhiki and Zlatan I really don't think he would suddenly burn his bridges with one of the biggest and richest clubs in the world.
You know what, I have a feeling journalists always had that wrong. Raiola has a 20% sell on clause, juve wanted 120m, 20% of 120 = 24m. Its more sensational to say 120 + 25 I guess.
Yeah real smart, Guess who negotiates Pogbas contract with us?
I actually think Real are missing a trick here. They're clearly pissed off that they've been priced out of the transfer and have been bitching and moaning for a while.
If they really wanted to get one over on us and get under our skin they should start pushing the narrative "Pogba is not quite ready for them yet but is a transfer they will definitely pursue in the future".
