I refuse to stress over this shiteness.
His Mum and Great Auntie Doreen are holding out for £2m in backhanders for looking round the mansion in Alderley :-D
I spoke to someone regarding third party ownership / advisor status and the point of view they put across kind of made sense.
It was said that the third parties become involved when a young player needs support and guidance and a lot of the times its because no-one believes in them apart from the related parties.
Third party ownership / advisor difference were apparently the real reason why ManUre lost Pogba to Juve. ManUre were alleged to have refused a pay off to Pogba's 'advisor' as part of his signing on agreement. Pogba stressed that his advisor, fed, clothed and looked after him when he had nothing and was just a young prospect and it was only because of him why Pogba was even at ManUre.
Apparently this fella put his life on hold because he belived so strongly in Pogba when few others did and as such Pogba believed he owed his advisor everything. He knew signing for ManUre would mean the end of his business association with his advisor and felt a decent pay off for all he'd done was the least he deserved.
ManUre disagreed and refused to acknowledge the advisor, so Pogba and his representatives started looking elsewhere. Fergie thought he had the upper hand and tried to call Pogba's bluff which failed miserably. As last season and the recent world cup showed, the rest is now history......
Apparently similar issues were quoted with Hazard and I'm sure someone also said there was a hint of this with Isco last year. The additional £2-3m to seal those deals seems cheap at the price right now.
