So what you are suggesting is that Lukaku wanted to go to Chelsea, but his agent refused their offer to EVERTON, because he wasnt getting a big enough cut and Lukaku just said ok, i'll go united?
Wise up ffs.
I think you're arguing with yourself , @Hansern .
Only isn't disagreeing with your argument against agents but Lukaku clearly isn't going to Utd BECAUSE of his agent
No, you clearly missed the point. The point me, and several others are making are that agents have to much influence. I'm not suggesting that Lukaku doesnt go where he wants to in the end, but his options are getting limited because of it. Surely you can see that?
Its been reported that Chelsea baulked at paying the extra agent fees, which was also an issue with Pogba and Real last season, you can clearly see the influence I'm talking about.
Thats why I added the sum spent last season in the PL, 220 mill £. Its bonkers.
So to not cause a misunderstanding again. The influence of agents on transfer deals. To much. Influence.
Yes. The agent advised the player to leave. The player (the agents boss) slapped the agent down and re-signed.
Whats your point?
Dude..
I misunderstood nothing , simply reiterated that Lukaku clearly wants to be at Utd and there's talk of him agreeing to go there with Jose , months ago.
Yeah agents are the devil, yeah they earn too much and yeah they undoubtedly impact transfer destinations , to in their best interest too. Maybe that caused Chelsea to think twice BUT ALL of that is moot if player A wants to go to club A and club A will pay him what he wants and love him etc etc etc which is what we have in the not so curious case of Lukaku
Shrek confirmed as back in his swamp
Now, I dont really give a shite where Lukaku goes but the point was that agents like Raiola and Mendes shouldnt be anywhere near football. Their influence is massive it seems. The fees are crazy, and most of the money could and should be spent elsewhere;
Hahaha innit.But they are brilliant at what they do. While I despise the way they operate, I wish I had someone like that by my side whenever I asked for raises (quite unsuccessfully, I might add).

Hahaha, oh yes. If you hired Raiola to do the negotiating I bet he'd end up with 60% of your wages.
Mendes would end up owning 25% of the company.

Speaking after sealing his return to Everton, Rooney shed light on a interesting secret...
"To be honest, I’ve kept it quiet for the last 13 years but I’ve actually been wearing Everton pyjamas at home with my kids," he said. "I had to keep that a bit quiet!
Is that a real quote?
Even at current rates that's a really good buy, if it's proven to be not more than just rumours. Their midfield was looking rather untested however if they add Sigurdsson that is a major upgrade.Everton are about to spend 32 mill on Gylfi Sigurdsson now.
They're paying inflated fees for just about every player this transfer window. But according to their own fans, they're the new superpower in English football. Okay....

yeah with Yahoo that took under 30 secs 😉How old is Sigurdsson these days? At £32million I'm not sure I could call him good value.
For me I'd take Sigurdsson every day of the week. I'll be delighted if Barkley goes to Spurs though, such a hot/cold over-rated player.Naaah, he's not that good. I think Barkley is better (and 4 years younger) and he's off to Spurs appaz.
Has there ever been a team lose so many of its key players in one window as Roma have in this?
Totti (retired)
Salah (us)
Rudiger (chelsea)
Paredes (zenit)
Are they still owned by FSG? If so - should we have concerns that the club are so open to a mass exodus of big names? I'd hate to be a Roma fan right now - huge losses with only an average CM coming in so far (Pellegrini)
