"Gabri Veiga to Newcastle links are interesting. He’s been watched by Man City/Arsenal for months.

The timing of City’s move for Kovacic and Arsenal ruling out sale of Smith Rowe could be significant. Perhaps they have both cooled interest, leaving #NUFC with a free run at Veiga."

He used to call a few things right but he just talks shit now. He literally just reports what’s already been said

What? Is this true? The agent takes a percentage of wages. That’s absolutely filthy. 

That’s the way it should be really, i.e. if a player wants to be represented by an agent he (or she) should foot the bill for their services

Pay them a fee for sure and yeah maybe a slice of the transfer fee but a percentage of their wages across the whole contract. That feels way too much and more than a little parasitic.

That’s how agents work in professional contracting for other professions work too, like.

It’s certainly true in the case of certain agents who are currently arguing over the rights to a prem player’s contract. He’s pretty high level and they have a number of players on their books so likely very widespread.

Aye, when a recruiter places me in a contract job they continue to take a bit of my daily rate.

Happened to me when manpower got me a job in McDonald’s years ago ?

I hope we’ve done our work with the agents! Our knock on the door is different these days because our product is so much better. We don’t pay premium wages like City/Lpool/ManU which will ultimately stop us attracting the very best

I’m sure we have - the pif don’t get to be worth as much as they are without learning how to deal with money grabbing businessmen.

They do more than just a transfer though. They'll negotiate all the other endorsements, sponsorships etc and handle all the contacts behind the clubs back.

A lot of agents do a lot more than just rock up a week before a transfer window opens to chuck demands around tbf

Daily Mail saying we have been offered Joao Felix on loan.

 

Not much else in the article so won’t post the link.


ESPN just sent me a notification about our interest in him, but it’s referencing The Sun.

£4-5m signing on fee and £90-100k a week and I'd have had him here as a bit of creativity alongside Bruno or when he's out. £9m and probably £150k a week though is a bit much. Still think he'll do well next club.

Would he be worth a punt if we only had to contribute £100k a week towards his wage? 

 

I've seen clubs covering other club's wages a few times in the past few days. Does this actually ever happen (loans not withstanding)? :lol:

Huge natural oil and gas reserves probably have more to do with it than superb business acumen tbf
