Regarding the potential signing of the unmentionable player, it seems that Juve want us to pay the whole of the agent's fee. If true this sets a dangerous precedent that is likely to set us up to get mugged for multi millions in every future transaction. What do others think? Please don't bother with the "it's not our money" argument. I don't buy into it.

At least all this Pogba saga talk has stopped the usual Ronaldo return rumour nonsense we usually get in the press before the start of every season lol.

My arguement would be that Juve agreed to the 20-25% agents fee when they signed Pogba, so why should anyone else pay it for them?
From Juve's perspective us offering to pay half seems pretty decent to be honest.

i think in this situation juve are just squeezing us bcz they know we are desperate, in future such situation might not occur (hopefully), but doing this is also a double edged sword for juve, their pettiness might have the unintended consequences of pissing off one of the biggest agents in today's game, also they already have a problem with a kid who has raiola as an agent who wants to move away and he is very highly rated.

absolutely mate! i thought that Juve had agreed the 25% agent fee so if we offer 50% then they should be happy!
there is still a chance that its all BS though.

I wouldn't contribute to the agents fee if we pull out do they think Madrid will pay what we offer or pay the agents fee no way.

Sneidger anyone?

How do people know what's going on behind the scenes? No one apart from Woodward, Mourinho and the player's agent knows what's going on. So all this rubbish about agents fees is nonsense.

SchMidfield, In fairness I did say "if true" in the OP.
