Horrendous amount of money paid for a player and agent. This is everything that is wrong with the english game.

I don't even think he is that good. What has he done this season? Has he even scored any goals? Total waste of money. Juve must still be pishing themselves.

well that's it. might as well sell him now. 10 games in to a career in a new league which is completely different to what he's used to and he's deemed a waste of money.

This is the attitude that gets managers sacked and fans on the back of a player and turn him in to a boo boy for the fans. we moan about the money spent but then expect instant results so that attitude is no better than that of the clubs

Lets see where united and Pogba are in 18 months time and make a judgement then.

Football has gone insane and its footballs fault ............... the joke is that Man Utd paid the 24 million .... the Agent works for Pogba not Man Utd, why the hell isn't Pogba paying the 24 million?

The bottom line here is that clubs are so busy trying to get one over on each other they haven't noticed that they are being played for suckers .... if they could get together and impose a wage cap and tell these bloodsucking parasites they call agents to GTF all of football would benefit.

Agents were a great thing back in the day when players were being had for mugs .......... but the wheel has gone full circle and now the clubs are being taken for mugs by the players and the greedy agents who leech off of them.

In effect Pogba will be paying the £24m.

I'm sure some of it will be payable by club as an arrangement fee but most of that level of figure will be what the agent will be entitled to as a percentage of the salary earned by the player. It will all be part of the negotiation, however, what would normally happen is that instead of Pogba handing on a percentage each month the club will pay the sum in advance to the agent and then the player will get paid less than he would have in future.

Clubs don't have to pay the players what they ask for of course and so they are responsible for what they pay out.

It would take man u selling 80,000 season tickets at 300 a pop to cover that.

Outrageous.

But Juve say they paid the money to the agent. It was out of the transfer fee they received from Man Utd.

They were happy to do so it seems as they signed Pogba for a bargain 1.5m Euros so have banked a hefty profit. But it looks a bit suspicious, wouldn't you agree?

Football disgusts me sometimes.

Fingers crossed it keeps going the way it is. Agents screwing clubs etc because it's going to go pop one day and ironically it could be the best thing to happen in football.

The sky bubble will burst and clubs will have to start again and they will only have themselves to blame.

That kind of money for a player is obscene but, for an agent! just tells you everything that's wrong with football these days, particularly in England.

£24m for arranging the transfer of a footballer. I'm all in favour of people being properly rewarded for the work they do, but that's obscene.

The football world gets crazier by the day. IMHO.

Obcene's a pretty overused word these days but it's entirely appropriate when it comes to big business & football. Got far more
out of watching BBC's Bonnyrigg Rose Scottish Cup piece than I could watching big business in action.
