If you translate that article to English it says that Raiola received commission for being Pogba's agent but also working for United and Juventus. He never told Juventus he was working for United which is against FIFA rules because it's a conflict of interest.

According to the article he got €27 million from Juve, €22 million from United and €2.5 Million for being Pogba's agent

How the feck do these agents take this much? Are clubs dumb? Being an agent is the best job in the world by the looks of it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most modern agents will represent all 3 parties involved. They'll sign up to 3 separate contracts to act as proxy for the player and both the buying and selling clubs.

This helps a club gain players and also helps with the dirty work of shipping out unwanted talent.

This keeps everyone happy, and the agent extra motivated to keep an eye out for the next deal.

Football leaks were completely right with their Dutch investigation. I'm pretty sure they only release anything when they're sure of the facts.

"Juve confirmed at the time that the agent fees came out of the £89m price. But they claimed the fees were €27m."

Only their part. They didn't claim anything about it being the full fee paid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There was something posted earlier on here I think tht said United would also be paying Raiola commission for his services, to the tune of £16m.

£16m! And the player wanted to come here anyway...

Makes you wonder about all that funny business when we missed out on Herrera the first time. That wierd fake lawyer nonsense?

The breakdown of the whole deal according to the Football Leaks book is

£89m + 4m in add ons, 22m of which Juventus pay to Mino Raiola

United then pay 16.5m to Raiola over 5 yearly installments and Pogba pays Raiola 2.2m

so United in total pay £105.5m + 4m add ons of which Juve gets £67m after deducting Raiola's cut

Well he's been a naughty boy by the sounds of it, maybe he should be made to pay back all monies received

I'm in the wrong job!

That's obscene money for 'top' agents.

BBC Sport: FIFA are seeking clarification on who was involved in the Pogba transfer, and how much they were paid.

posted on 9/5/17

Well, even if not true, we should be investigated for paying so much for pogba. Wonder if Ed thought he was playing football manager, but was actually really logged on to the transfer system?

Surely we wouldn't do anything stupid enough to affect our club in a negative way in this Pogba deal?

Sounds more like Raiola rather than yourselves that would be investigated.

Lingard the cameraman?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No he's crap at shooting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Good job he never told Klopp to hold the camera, he's not used to filming trophy celebrations i guess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why should I give a feck about Klopp?

Lingaard was on loan at Derby last season and is well overrated. He looks OK in a good team, but so would I. How he gets picked for England is beyond a joke.

Adidas were involved too with the promotion side of it weren't they, if we're going down, we're taking them baastards with us

Well at first glance - your user name kinda swayed me to think that your a Liverpool fan and this is the United board so naturally assumed

Then realised you are a Derby fan...........*tumbleweed moment*

Anyways, yes Lingard isn't WC by any means but he does sometimes offer glimpses of hard graft magic and chips in with important goals sometimes. But lets not discuss Lingard any further, this is about the Pobga deal. Keep on topic!

Pure speculation like but I guess the only way you'd be implicated is if you knew what Raiola was doing, and it was against FIFA rules, but didn't tell FIFA

When Ed is in charge of transfers, he'll flash the cash to whoever looks good for us
