Is he normal?

Very handy GK for any team looking for one I'd say. Especially if they offer the possibility of CL football

Think PSG should be after him. I don't rate Trapp much

Crazy of course IMO he doesn't deserve all this money, I think his value should be around 60m-70m max. He is not Leo Messi.
Can you give us a break down on your valuation of him?

Why on earth would the agent present United's offer. It should be a direct communication between both clubs. Raiola's role should be limited to negotiating personal terms with United and expressing Pogba's desire to move on (if applicable) to Juve.

Don't the agents often do the dealings? It's not that uncommon. Especially if he has a good relationship with the club he's in talks with. I know Mendes does it, so I'm not surprised Raiola is the same.

Because Woodward has realised he's better at snapping up Taiwanese sock partners than sealing transfer deals so has handed most of it over to 3rd parties like Raiola and Mendes, who are becoming de facto directors of football. Seems to be working so far.

It's the modern way I guess, didn't we buy Mata without actually having a face to face meeting until it was time to sign contracts?

Maybe because Woodward doesn't have the physical strength to throw chairs around the negotation table when our offer gets declined.

I remember reading a piece by Ogden or Ducker, can't remember who, about our deal with Mata and how Woodward never directly spoke to Chelsea once during negotiations. A third part negotiated and made the offer.

It's happening!

Also, I couldn't give a flying feck how much he costs. He'll improve us considerably and we can afford the fee. What's the problem? It's not like the club is going to ask us to chip in! It's also not like we're scraping the barrel for pennies. We're absolutely loaded. And it pisses our rivals off so much. :drool:
