Well, that's exactly why big clubs don't like dealing with him. He makes his money from agent fees and is always hawking his players around like pure water and will abuse the players club to do so.





Dortmund is a selling club. They are in it to make money from the player after just one or two years and so is Raiola so they have good arrangement that Raiola will hawk the player for them and they can both benefit. This is different from a big club like Chelsea that will want to keep the player for 7 to 10 years and will not appreciate Raiola trying to sell the player every transfer window.
All agents make their money from agent fees and he does nothing without the players permission. Anything the players want he gives them. He doesn't act on his own accord.

Dortmund, Juve signed his players na. I know he is vocal, probably too vocal especially when his players, like pogba, start flopping and their values begin decreasing. Then there is his high agent fees.

But see eh, we are talking about Haaland'er here o cheesy. It's like buying a cheaper or factory sold Mbappe grin for €75m. Even if na €25m agent fee, is it not worth it?
Haaland is nothing like Mbappe be it cheaper or any version at all.

Yes, Raiola clients destabilise their clubs, hold them for ransom for money and run down their contracts while Raiola is always very abusive to clubs managers and CEOs

Chelsea have never had a Raiola client to my knowledge and that's deliberate. Other clubs like Liverpool, Man City etc also won't touch them.
This is not accurate at all. His bad reputation primarily comes from the fact that he's fiercely loyal towards his players and prioritizes their well-being above everything. I have never heard that he fell out with one of his clients because he always gets them what they want. As a club, you have a problem the moment the player wants out and you want him to stay. In such situations, Raiola is pretty much your nightmare. Funny thing is, clubs complain about him but when he's on their side, they have absolutely no problem with his methods.

Barring injury and a loss of form this guy could still equal or pass Pele. This is another feather to his cap considering the Brazil team has been a shadow of itself since 2006 or so.
28 years old and 13 goals away. He is definitely going to pass pele and maybe end at 85+ goals. Being the top scorer of a nation like brazil will make him an instant legend.

Unless that club dey smoke crack, simply put Greenwood's got no price tag, no club will be stupid enough to attempt that but Dortmund was open to Sancho leaving, but for United on the other hand, Greenwood leaving ain't an option.
All these are unnecessary Shalayes no one asked for. If a club wanted to buy Greenwood, what amount do you think he is worth in this current window after the season he just had?

£39.8million I guess. grin
The kind of senseless things I have read you this past few days is shocking. Bros even the stupid Ansu Fati that came up last season Barca won't even listen to any bid Below 150million for the boy buy Sancho is only worth 80milion to someone. Is that not stupidity in display.

Abeggi swerve!! No be English media dey overhype d guy ni. The guy's massively overrated. If not for the hype, they wouldn't be standing their ground on 120m.

If we had signed a CB sef, those mofos will still want to tag the window a failure because we didn't sign Sancho.

Sancho shouldn't be more than 80m now haha. And that one sef na because market don spoil.
Somebody asked this question before and nobody answered. If a club wanted to sign Greenwood this season how much do you think United should demand for him?

What the hell are you typing about Madrid? Which of our current wingers is sensible that Sancho won't see shirt.

Na wetin we see be that o. Sancho is not even better than Rashford, likewise Greenwood in the long run.

He carry am go Mbappe and Gnabry . grin
Which Gnabry are you talking about. Since when do people start rating Gnabry this high?

When you check most possession stats, DMs are always forefront in no of touches and no of passes. Madrid play quite a deep midfield with Kroos and Modric helping Casemiro with ball work because Casemiro is not good in that aspect, however most passing stats are dominated by DMs, followed by centrebacks
Isn't that what spillo is talking about? United have their own Casemiro in Matic and 2 box to box midfielders Mctominay and Fred. The only profile of midfielders they don't have is kroos/Modric. So why go after more box to box midfielders?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Melvyn11: 7:35pm On Oct 05, 2020
Ibime:
You no know ball. Your DM controls the tempo of your passing as well as protects the defence. You think just having DMs means that role is covered. All your DMs are missing something that makes you vulnerable. Matic is missing speed, Fred is missing touch, passing and ability to receive the ball and turn. McTom is missing what Fred is missing but not to the same extent. DM is the most important position in football after Striker and Goalkeeper. A good DM can cover a lot of sins in a team.
Sorry but this is not accurate one bit. A DM role is set by the coach and the coach alone. Not all DM controls tempo infact most don't. Casemiro/Matic are the same type of Dms. Thier job is to act as destroyers not tempo setters.

Cos his system takes heavy toll on players and imo Nagelsmann is tactically better.
What has Nagelsman done in his career that convinced you he was tactically better than pochettino?

Whatever cultural reset Ole and the board needed I think has been done, we need to move to fvck on as quick as possible or else finishing in top 7 will be a mirage. The problem now remains who will take over if Ole leaves because I don't fancy Pochettino. I've joined the Nagelsmann bandwagon ship.
So what makes you don't fancy pochettino but like Nagelamann?

GrammarNazi1:
And how many Premiership titles have Liverpool won since Klopp started coaching them in 2015?

At a point in the past, it was Barcelona players were too short. Now, it is they are not physical enough.

Did you forget that before the short Xavi and Iniesta played and dazzled the world, other people still believed that if you were as short as Xavi or Iniesta, you could never be great?

Is this not the reason a player like Puig will never be trusted by some coaches?
Slow down with this lie na bwhahahahah

My guy.. From a footballing point of view, you would say united is the 3rd biggest club jn the world.

Bayern, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Man City.. Which of these clubs can united actually go toe to toe with in terms of football success both in Europe and their local campaigns currently.

Mason Greenwood.
Greenwood is not a winger and apart from finishing Sancho is miles ahead of him. Their is nothing similar about them in the first place.
