Jorge Mendes was obviously very influential in affecting the player's price, jorge with Jorge Mendes influence probably added value of 40 %.

I have a lot of time for Jorge, but his football knowledge is limited at best, what Jorge does is he rely on people that he believes know about the game to give him the information... Jorge is a business man, he's not a football man. If anyone actually listens to Jorge on his verdict of a player, they'd need to be mentally institutionalized.

You have to remember that when Cristiano Ronaldo was at Sporting Lisbon, Mendes wasn't doing any big deals.
