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.
Wrong thread?
Do you think Mendes didn't get a lot of money when C.Ronaldo came to us? Or Hazard agent when he moved to Chelsea when agents fee was the reason we didn't get him? Of course he did, but no one talk about that and no one add that sum to the transfer fee. Why we should now?
ScoutNation just dropped this...
Great business by Woodward. The fact they've projected earning £40m in his image rights alone in the first year shows how "worthwhile" the fee is.
I didn't say it should be lumped with the transfer fee. The transfer fee to Juve is obvious. I said the agent fee, which 1) is a stupid amount to the norm and 2) isn't even what we should have paid (Juve should have), should be involved in the cost of bringing Pogba to us.
You don't just ignore 20m from the whole transaction when we shouldn't have paid Raiola in the first place.
You're right, it shouldn't be talked about. But you and I both know that rival fans and some in the media will bang on about it - but not the actual price, oh no, they'll keep saying £105 million until it becomes fact. The British press are always great at mixing Euros and Pounds.
This was different though, Raiola owned a certain percentage of Pogba's rights so his cost definitely includes the agent fee. It's still relatively a bargain though.
Lol how did that happen.
Who cares about transfer fees? If you want a player, just pay whatever it takes to get him or you will be left behind and we finally learned this.
did i just here on sky sports the medical could take 3 days?................
No medical has ever taken 3 days. They are just covering their ass because they've been wrong so often
Can't be too careful man. We're going to check every nut and cranny if we're spending £90m on this guy. If he has a wart, we want to know about it.
i hope so..... i mean i want us to be thorough but 3 days...... what would we be doing dissecting him?No medical has ever taken 3 days. They are just covering their ass because they've been wrong so often
So. Many. Probes.
Where will this brokerage fee come from? Fall from the sky?
Of course the cost to us is any transfer fee + agent fee. How is this even debatable?
The other poster was right.
Well, then let's wait till there's any sort of information about the quantum of the agent fees and the breakdown as to who paid it.
I don't think they are usually revealed, but Di Marzio and the like eluded to the agent fees when the deal was held up. The selling club owed Raiola the 20m, but Juve wanted us to pay it instead. We eventually caved - and given the odd nature of such a payment, it shouldn't be ignored really.
Transfer fees are declared standalone, without agent brokerage, registration, attorney and other fees, as well as wages.
This whole window was part of a "masterplan". Mourinhos agent Jorge Mendes clearly knew it would be difficult to get his major clients to United this summer given we weren't in the Champions League, so Jose, Jorge and Ed Woodward planned to target Mino Raiola's best clients this year to improve the squad and this will surely be followed by United signing Jorge Mendes' players in the next summer window.
Thats the window I cannot wait for. When Jorge Mendes drops a catalogue of all his players on Eds desk. Summer 2017 isngoing to be one that dreams are made of.
Great strategy boys. I salute you.

Di Marzio currently only talks about brokerage fees and that we are obligated to pay €105m to Juventus. No one is mentioning the 20% cut anymore.
I'm pretty sure the brokerage fees being talked about are a separate issue from the supposed €20m for Raiola which was to do with some agreement he had with Juve.
We will pay the 'brokerage' fee, which is the standard agent fee associated with every transfer ever to take place.
Anything else is between him and Juve.

If United have to pay him 20% to Mino of any fee that they paid Juve, then it's not like the usual agent fee, but an unusual case. The cost to United will still be 1.2 times whatever is paid to Juvenuts.
47 odd posts of mine in this thread not wanting pogba to join United and against United spending so much money. Now that he will be a United player. I hope he shuts all the the people who were against this deal and helps United win major silverware and doesn't feck off to Madrid for his dream move in the next 3-4 years.
I hope Jose manages this guy and the team well now as we seem to have a lot of huge characters in the team. Jose has managed such players before. Hope everything works out of us.

Yes, however there is no talk currently, of any money being paid to Raiola apart from the usual agent fee, which happens with any transfer.
Or, in a nutshell:
To summarise Di Marzio:
In these minutes the French midfielder is flying right into Manchester with a plane departed from Nice to 10.15. At 13.00 will support the medical tests, the first act of his second spell in Manchester. Juventus from the 'Red Devils' here is the 2.0 Pogba at United.
IT'S FLIGHT TRACKING TIME BABY
¿Problemas de Ereccion?
Nope, we have Pogba. No problemas with my ereccion here
If you go back a few hundred pages you'll find it. Think Di Marzio said something like - Man Utd pay agent fee for Juve but Juve will pay the tax.
Can't remember the exact tweet/article.
Time to fire up the flight trackers again!
People need to focus on United and not Madrid. The future is the future and people dream up things like it being his dream club. It would make sense for Paul when you think about it BUT it wasn't such a dream that he made it happen now. So let's just focus on climbing back to the top and knocking them off their fecking perch .. if we do that? Then it wouldn't be as inviting but of course we have to start competing again and I'm sure we will
Time to fire up the flight trackers again!
Load up the flight trackers.
Sure. However, the transfer fees in the history books may go down as 89m paid to Juve, but in our accounting books it'll be Juve+0.2Juve if the earlier news of us paying the 20% fee Riola is owed by Juvenuts had any truth in them.
Anyone checking flights from Nice?
There's been a lot said previously. But surely what should take precedence at this point in time is the latest reports: €105m + brokerage
What is the purpose of flight tracking really? We know his flight details, is there a need to monitor in the air?
