    So you've seen both teams accounts? Amazing. What high circles you move in.

    You mean you wouldn't consider a reasonable offer for her corpse?

    I dunno, they probably help a fair few footballers out. Can you imagine Rooney in a negotiation on his own?

    "Erm, I'd erm, like £160k a week please"
    "**** off Wayne, here's £50 and a pop tart"
    "Erm, great thanks boss! I'll sign that 28 year contract now!"

    Ultimately as long as agents keep getting players more money by whoring them round to every club they can find, players will keep employing them.

    Make the players pay them then. Problem solved.

    Some are god for their clients, money isnt the be all and end all in football and an extra 50k isnt going to make your life any easier when you are earning 100k already. Clubs wouldnt fleece their players either, it would benefit all bar the agents, who can rot tbh :D

    Yep. So have I. Cos they are made public by the Premier League <ok>

    http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/new...e-squanders-67m-in-2009-10-article641525.html

    Credit to Chelsea tho, you did manage to reduce it to £6.5 million in 10/11, tho that may be because of the third party ownership of Luiz and Ramirez:

    It's amazing what you can find out when the PL makes clubs publicise their figures <ok>

    Fergie will be all the proof I need. And the fact the evidence in those figures shows you are not afraid to pay agents huge fees at all. At no point have United paid more than Chelsea. Probably because we use the words **** off right after saying, 'you want how much?'

    There is no proof, just the conclusion that because Fergie said so that it is 100% factual.

    Fergie, a vindictive liar? Never <laugh>

    I can see why us United fans are hated, our use of facts and evidence and out fairly well educated guesses based on current and past dealing makes us a pain in the arse for those living in dream worlds.

    Though swarbs, apparently if you say it on the Liverpool board it will be considered true. Thats what they said so who am I to argue with it.

    Dont use this information to cause mayhem though <ok>

    What reason has he got to lie though?

    £6million is a mad sum to pay for an agent and if United tell him to **** off as was the case here then whats wrong with that. Nothing wrong with chelsea getting bent over in pursuit of their man but United dont and will never operate like that.

    However we shall laugh at the fact you paid so much for an agent, I mean you have probably bought players for less! How much was Cahill?

    So what if we're not afraid. You still don't know that we did. So United haven't paid more than us. I've never denied that. But you still don't know for sure that we paid the 6m.

    You keep mentioning this 6m fee yet you have no conclusive evidence that is it 6m.

    Fergie was pipped to a transfer target, that for me is a reason to make a bitter comment such as that. He's a clever bloke and clearly has you hooked.

    We probably did pay his agent over the odds, but I would bet a good sum of money that it wasn't anywhere near 6m.

    And again...... You don't know that we paid 6m.
    Really? Well Rooney bent you over for a start. And what the f**k has Cahill got to do with it. And if you believe you've never paid an agent then you live in cloud cuckoo land.

    I have no idea, most probably not, like I've told you many times in the past I don't believe the red tops and it sounds the sort of over-exaggerated figure they would conjur up.

    Fees will be out soon enough so we shall see.

    If you have paid those sums I expect you will be slated and even punished by the FA for it as would be deserved. Its as good as a bung and means money is leaving the game for no reason at all.

    Why he would be bitter about it I dont know though, care to explain?

    City also stated they refused to pay the agents fee of £6million btw, not that it matters. Seems they felt it was a piss take and well, its a bit rich from them.

    I guess it all comes down to how much you trust what is reported in pretty much every paper and made public knowledge. Yes we don't know it was £6 million. But we don't know Rooney got £160k a week from Utd a couple of years ago. We don't know Giggs shagged his sister in law. We don't know Suarez called Evra a negro. Ultimately, when all the media outlets and pretty much everyone who has any information on the issue is reporting exactly the same thing, you reach the point where most people accept it as being fact.

    Alternatively, we can just wait till the end of November when the PL make the figures public and sort the whole thing out with some good solid FACTS! ;)

    You still have no conclusive proof of any of this, just Fergie mumbling about it.

    Just out of interest, could you please provide video links to Fergie verbally saying Hazard's agent DEMANDED a 6m fee for his services? Same with City aswell please.
