If true, i dont understand why the clubs have to pay the agent fees. Its the players who use them, surely they should pay the agent! FIFA Sepp Blatter has got to get on top of this. Yeah right.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Fucking hate agents like, absolute parasites. On Ba though, I'm slightly worried about the injury problems he's supposed to have. Guess he can just join the Ameobi/Best permanent injury rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Agent: Ok...settled my client will sign for you and in doing so I want 1m in return. Ashley: Fack off. End of meeting. Wait two weeks. Agent: Ok, I will take 0.5m. Ashley: Fack Off. End of Meeting. Agent: Hello Mr Quinn, my client will sign for you but I want 1m. Quinn: Drunken murmering. Of course. Hic.

NG32 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Im far happier with our current dealings then when Shepherd basically left it all up to the agents to sort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Totally, this is one area where football could learn something from normal business. Don't give vast sums of money to people who don't do anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Totally, this is one area where football could learn something from normal business. Don't give vast sums of money to people who don't do anything. Yup. Rather re-structure deals whereby the club's scouts are paid a handsome reward if they unearth a gem, as well as the agent of said gem. Not sure if this would lead to legal wrangles, but if you set up watertight contracts, it shouldn't be a problem. In the case of Ba, we didn't really need a scout or an agent to have an interest in signing him, and therefore shouldn't pay over the odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not too concerned, agents are scum but sure this will get sorted soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not too concerned, agents are scum but sure this will get sorted soon enough. depends if another team offers him the same/better terms and offers to pay the agent fees? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Basically, if the agent represents the player he should be paid by the player only. I would make it illegal for a club to pay any money to agents that represent players. The problem is that agents are acting as pseudo-scouts and 'helping' clubs find players as well... so they can somehow justify charging the clubs a fee. Anyway, off topic there, Ba would be a decent signing if his knee hasn't totally gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. But Ba might be keen on joining, then that might force the agent to lower his demands. I hope we sign him, although I've read that it's subject to a medical, was under the impression he couldn't pass a medical at West Ham or Stoke?

Probably one of the few situations where Ashley holds the moral highground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
