That is indeed a scenario you laid out, but that isn't what happens in England unless I am mistaken which is possible. Merely pointing out that IS how it works across the pond.

In contrast, in the USA the agent is hired by the player and THEY negotiate a percentage deal amongst themselves as for how much the agent is paid for negotiating the contract. Some players now have no agent and negotiate deals to save the percentage. Teams NEVER EVER pay agents. They work for the player.

Looks like he's wearing one of those muscle suits....

We had an all company meeting and senior managers were telling us about themselves. My bosses boss said he was a lifelong Manchester City fan. His quote after that. "You know I was born in Manchester because I am not a Manchester United fan". As a side note, he DM'd me in a meeting after Newcastle won the League Cup and said congrats as he knows I am a Newcastle fan. He said he went through many lean years.

Right, and as a former footballer and someone who seems in pretty good shape he should 100% recover one would suspect.

I don't see why it would. Get well soon Eddie!

That is true, no idea what is behind the dynamics of why these decisions are made.

I see no reason why not unless it's in Gordon's head that he doesn't want to play there. That said, Murphy does seem to produce!

He'd be stupid to not at least consider it.

Had a few misplays but very composed on the goal so overall, not terrible. He's had better games.

I was yelling for Harvey to dish it left to Isak and the brave bastard split the defence and banged it home. Brilliant stuff, that.

Meanwhile, still enjoying some Red Cafe content.

UCL is the only goal here. The EPL extra money for finishing higher is trivial. I do get what Yorkie is saying but in this age, UCL is paramount.

That's class mate.

I was just about to post that!

I'd switch Pope and Tripps ratings.

Bruno's goal was nice tidy finish watching the highlights.

Probably Barnes for MOM but Tonali was outstanding also.

JT, great job.

Wow, that Tonali is a wonder. 94th minute and blows past everyone.

"No foul for that" LOL....righto

That or he is being supplied with shite.

This is good for the ole goal differential.

Bruno!!!!!! This red lot are folding.
