Mino Raiola and his positive influence on Everton

Hello frandelinos

Thought I would just start a thread on a slightly controversial character who has, in an indirect way, helped shaped the future of Everton.

His name is Mino, Mino Raiola.

At first he gave us Lukaku. Clearly the best goalscorer we've had since Lineker and, calorific intake notwithstanding, vastly better than the likes of Kone, Angell, DCL, Niasse and any other of the rot that has been bought in the intervening period. Key to that was Raiola, particularly on the permanent deal. And when we sold Lukaku, Big Mino R had them slobbering at the bit, ready to hand over £75m, a huge UK market fee at that point. Ok, so we whizzed it up the wall. But he made that largesse possible.

We are now bringing in vaunted wunderkind Moise Kean, clearly a burgeoning blammo boss. Ok, so Brands has done some solid work here - but Mino has played the gatekeeper. I don't Moist would have considered us a live option in normal circumstances.

So two questions:

- how big a positive impact do YOU feel Mino Raiola has had on our beautiful team, and
- should we retain him as some sort of club "super agent", like Mendes at Wolves, to form a dream with Marcel Brands?

Your thoughts welcomed below please.

Let me run that past Unky Uzzy and I'll get back to you.
I personally think they should all be taken out and shot, even before the previous ' they should all be taken out and shot' title holder - Lawyers...which is all they are really, 2 faced money grabbing mouthpieces, but without a degree to ligitimise it.

It's been dealt with above.


All in all though: we know what a rat Raiola is. If Kean is a success here we'll see him touted about Europe next summer. Of that you can be sure.

Got no problem with that, it annoys me, but the best way to stop that is to be successful.

That's neither here nor there. Could and should have been in the £100M range.

It is here or there. £75m (£80m if he moves on) looks good value given his progression since.

Fact is no one wanted to pay £100m.

It’s a bit like CP wanting £80m for Zaha. No ones going to pay it.

Thought it was 90M with add ons and Rooney?

Because Zaha doesn't have a snake of an agent prodding away with a stick. A lot of people seem to forget how Raiola was with our club back then. Sure Lukaku was a fellow snake too with his comments here and there, but he was tied down to a contract, we didn't want to sell. It was Raiola pushing and prodding the club continuously, relentlessly putting idea's into Lukaku's mind over the span of months leading up to that summer. Raiola was a massive influence on why he was sold that summer for less than what it should of been. Raiola also has an influence on him and is one of the reasons for attitude/chip on his shoulder. You only have to look at some of his other puppets to see its not a coincidence.

Zaha wants out and has said so. If Raiola was his agent you would see him being sold for under 60M. He'd cause a stink.
 
Riaola... he’s a hyper, next gen Stretford. Villiany and duplicity of the highest order.

Rumours floating around that Kean got off the plane and went to united... hold on to your seat belts folks....
