It's gone quiet because as Juventus CEO said. As of yesterday both clubs were still negotiating. Nothing much can happen while that is on.

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.
I suppose I will have to stay away from this thread to avoid going mad.
To be a fly on that wall
Shots. Fired.
I posted a few days ago if it wasn't done by the end of this week then i suspect it wont happen at all. I dont think it will be long before we start getting linked to other midfielders.
Amen to that. Promote this guy now!
have the 3 men with the suitcase full of money become involved yet?
I love the ceremony of these things. Muppet fantasy or reality? It's like Schrödinger's cat.
Exactly how I feel
Imagine waking up to 30 new pages only to see people writing he's off to Madrid without any reasonable indication.
Raoila counts as 3 men. And he always wants money. So I would say yes.
Using one of your first comments within the mains to insult other users also is quite a good way to introduce yourself to the forum..
The problem is there arent many midfielders "available" who can just walk into our side and improve us instantly. Thats why Pobga was such a prized commodity this summer.
Day by day SAF is proving to be right regarding Raiola....
I'd go bald, and I'm not in the same league of some of the muppetry that's been going on in here. Starting to think there's a reason clubs don't talk about their transfers, it's to avoid their fans having nervous meltdowns.
feck sake I went to sleep thinking things were finally moving. Now I have a new found hatred for Zidane
You do know Raoila isnt the problem right? Its Juventus.
Another day of chafing for me then I guess.
Theres always going to be the exception
I will be on a 14 long hour flight with no internet tomorrow. This will be more of a blessing than a curse.
I have not long been a member of the main forums but this is so true. The actual quality of posts in here has been diluted because of the ridiculous pant wetting Real Madrid scaremongering.
Well. Problem seems to be 20M for Raiola..
He's fighting in our corner.
I don't like Pogba and have no problem repeating that.
Yeah so? They have a legal obligation to pay it. Its not like Raoila is blocking deal by stating he suddenly and out of the blue wants 20m extra. This was agreed to by Juventus 4 years ago.Well. Problem seems to be 20M for Raiola..
About to sign a second world class player due to his efforts...
He isn't back from holiday is he?
First week of August.
Well. Problem seems to be 20M for Raiola..
That's because he's owed that contractually by Juventus.
No due to us being the highest bidders.
In which world is Raiola the problem though?
He has a valid clause with Juventus which was negotiated the time he took Pogba for free from us to them. Now they’re trying to avoid that payment by making us pay his fee.
Raiola is doing whatever he can to complete the deal ASAP but it is his right to get paid. So actually Juventus are the ones holding up the deal by trying to breake their contract with Raiola.
This is going to end in tears, isn't it?
One way or another for some it will be tears of joy, or tears of sorrow.
I admit, I check the thread as much as anyone else, twitter too, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this if he doesn't sign.
Do I want him to sign? Absolutely. Do I think he will sign? 50/50.
Ya let's forget about Ibra and Mkhitaryan.
All this is proving is Juventus are cnuts when it comes to their word. They were completely fine agreeing to pay Raiola 20% if they ever sold Pogba to get him but now that bill has come due they don't want to pay it.
Exactly. Do you think Raiola is rich enough to give up 20m!? no way. He is going to put up a huge fight and get what's his. Obviously that means the transfer HAS to go through though. It's no wonder it's taking longer than usual.
True. Like most super-agents, Raiola seems a pretty unlikeable character (unless you are his client), but it's Juve, not him, who are playing silly-buggers.
What they are effectively saying is just "pay us €20m more" (or whatever that fee is), but they're trying do it in such a way as to make it look like it's Raiola that's asking for the extra money, not them.
They only have a legal obligation once the player is sold, hence the current stand off/negotiations.
Pretty appalling business practise on Juve's behalf but still, they're the one Pogba is currently under contract with.
Wow. Just read a load of absolute shit from the last 24 pages!
Still no progress made... Yet
Still no progress made... Yet
Just a coincedence all top three players we will be getting had raiola as agents then?
