Village Idiot Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Those figures are quite high tbh for the low amount we've spent. free transfers like sol will still have agent fees and contract renewals will also have agent fees They are still high anycase imo. Don't agents also take a % of the overall wage (in addition to any signing on bonus)? This may have been paid up front in some instances That is from the player. The club will pay a agent for the deal & will sometimes pay the agent as part of the deal on behalf of the player but the % per week is usually direct form the player. Yeah, clubs would be stupid and daft to pay agents a % of a players weekly wage. We do... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I thought the agent (acting for the club could be entitled to a % of the wage agreed - as a 'reward' for being such a tough negotiator..! fuck knows how much city are paying their agent for the Yaya Toure deal ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I know for certain that Mino Raiola was getting €1m/year of Zlatan's wages, paid directly by us, and other deals were structured like that. It could be for tax reasons too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCONA Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Surely the player should pay for their agent anyway. The system is so wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wonder how much contributed to wor Benny's loan deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Surely the player should pay for their agent anyway. The system is so wrong I agree but then the player would then ask for the difference from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 From the Championship report we paid out £1,073,076 from 1/7/09 to 30/6/10 So at least* £1,344,700 was on: Jul 2010 James Perch Nottingham Forest £TBC Jul 2010 Dan Gosling Unattached Free Jul 2010 Sol Campbell Unattached Free Aug 2010 Cheik Tiote FC Twente £TBC Aug 2010 Billy Knott unattached Trial Aug 2010 Hatem Ben Arfa Marseille Loan Aug 2010 Nassim Boukhelifa unattached Trial Sep 2010 Yven Moyo Sochaux Free Aug 2010 Fraser Forster Celtic Loan Aug 2010 Kazenga LuaLua Brighton & Hove Albion Loan Sep 2010 Ben Tozer Northampton Town Loan Plus any contract extensions between July and September. * The Martins, Bassong, Beye & Duff transfers were in the period covered by the Championship report and not the PL one, so that's likely to be a substantial part of the £1,073,076 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to use this in the Barça forums. Regarding your point, I think it's more common than you think. Even though Laporta certainly did grow an habit of throwing money at troubles during his last years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I think some people are getting mixed up with 'loyalty' bonuses paid over a contract & a player paying his agent a retainer on his weekly salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
