Qute a different story when you have a release clause. You meet it, you get the player (Depending on if they want to play for you)

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'm going to miss this thread........
Was the breakdown of the breaking of the "Shirt sales cover the transfer fee" myth in this thread? If so, I'd appreciate someone either posting it again or PMing me, cheers!
It means absolutely feck all coming from Raiola. Ignore him
There's a difference between optimism and people who are so fragile, that they believe anything.
Yes you would know wouldnt you? How many of these meetings have you sat in? We didnt activate the release clause for Pogba. It aint that simple. Three parties involved in this deal because Juventus legally owe Raoila a cut because of the sell-on clause. Not the case with Higuain and his agent. Hence that deal had only two parties negotiating. Much more straightforward.
You are right about the connection. Raiola is probably playing along.
Got to love the guy, he got humour.
Probably part of some ad campaign. Raiola tweeted few weeks back 'Blah, Blah, Blah' and it was used by Adidas in their commercial. It's probably more of the same. Relax guys, we'll wrap it up in few days.
There is a lot more to a release clause than you may think.
I still think there has been a deal agreed between both clubs for a while now, it's just been Raiola trying to squeeze every last drop out of this deal.
Chill, it means nothing
Raiola is just boiling piss because he can The deal is done.This is a horrific marketing stunt for the transfer look at the two birds in the advert the left one is an Italian paper the right one is an English paper, the flag is on both.
in my defence, my Twitter is still going mad with people retweeting and favouriting my tweet, so I'm not a lone muppet! I'm not the only one seeing parrots....You've just acknowledged my statement was correct. You realise that, yes?
Tell me more.
That kind of makes it worse for me as it means Adidas, Raiola and Pogba are playing with the fans feelings over some stupid advertising campaign.
"What's the weather like Mino?"Every 1 of Raiolas tweets seems to coincide with that Adidas video as mentioned.
What's the betting he will release another tweet about it in a couple of days
"Stormzy."
But you making out Raoila to be some sort of cnut in this deal when in reality its not him thats the problem - its Juventus.
He didnt even mention the clubs.
Its nearly the same as the tweet about Zlatan maybe going to United maybe to some other club, who knows, or something along the lines.

I just mean in general really. By "no deal done between clubs" makes it sound like no fee is agreed between clubs. If he had said simply "no deal is done" then that would be a lot more obvious, as we know it's not done and official yet
It's the "between clubs" bit i don't get
He owns part of a player the richest club in the world are desperate to buy.
He's a football agent. Football agents like money.
Nervous Muppets, Get a grip.
It's part of Adidas campaign. The last tweet Raiola gave said No deal Blah blah blah. A few days later Adidas launch their blah blah blah teaser. A bit later they released the ad with Pogba Stormzy and the Utd logo with newspapers folded as Parrots. Now Raiola says 'Journalists = Parrots'. It's not a coincidence. He's making money from all this (from Adidas association with Paul). It's all an elaborate hype building exercise now. Funny how all of you ignore that he also said it's a competition to see who announces it first.

Raiola said Zlatan could move to a different club than United. He said that only a few hours before Zlatan announced himself on social media.
He's just hyping it up.

Raiola is a twat. What else is new?
What happened to deal done within next 48 hours???
Dont expect the pessimists to read this.
And United. We're in on it. Juve probably too.
Again this isnt Raiola asking for 20m Euros out of the blue to finish the deal. Its a deal they agreed when Juventus signed Pogba that in the future the player is sold, 20% of the transfer fee goes to Pogba/agent.
I didnt literally mean you said cnut. I meant you're making him out to be the bad guy.
How come the thread title hasn't been updated with Raiolas tweet? Is he on the banned list?
I really do think Agents have far too much power. We all know Fergie hated them to the core. Wish more were like Scholes.....since he was his own agent (although admittedly didn't hawk himself round the globe during his career!)
The deal is done. It's legal paper work that has to be completed. And Di Marzio said the deal 'should be done' in 48 hours. That doesn't mean there will be an announcement yet.
He's trying to get as much money as possible. He knows how much United want Pogba and he is exploiting it.
He's certainly not a cnut, but not quite a saint either. Just a greedy bastard, in more ways than one by the looks of him.
Di Marzio > Raiola
People like Scholes, Giggs, Totti, Del Piero are once in a bluemoon type of players. Everyone wants to make money and be rich nowadays so they just go where the money is.
Which if the deal really is a 'done deal', it means its being delayed purposely for some stupid ad campaign. Talk about thinking of the fans last lol.
Nothing has changed with Raiola's tweet. It's happening.
Because we know Raiola's not serious at all. It's all a game.
This thread should be so much more fun and celebratory, and yet, people still want to act like this isn't nailed on. Why?
Chuck Norris dies.
It doesn't matter what Raiola says. The agents and clubs always deny everything until the deal is announced.
