    A cancer.

    Mouras pocketed £9million

    Hazards £6million

    No question City will of paid some silly fees and perhaps we have done ourselves.

    Total insanity that has to be stopped, £9million for nothing, literally nothing of any use to anyone.

    In some ways you have to congratulate them, making millions from doing less than Z list celebs.

    Pogba's agent apparently pocketed just short of £2million for sorting out his move to Juventus, that's a lot of cash for an agent to make on an unproven prospect that is unlikely to even get much bench time let alone first team action. Agent's seem to be urging their clients to move clubs more frequently these days because of the money they can make from the deals.

    I reckon agents are high on the list of pests to sort at FIFA HQ.

    Purely because they will find a way to make money from it themselves.

    The sooner agents are banned from Football, the better.

    Scholes doesn't have an agent and Valencia sacked his agent a while back so that is proof you don't need a agent as they are **** stirers.

    Suarez is a racist.

    There, anyone can make pointless responses.

    Fair play to them, you bunch of angels saying you'd do different? If I could make that sort of cash out of a deal I'd do the same. That said I am an estate agent so clearly have no morals and would sell my granny if she were alive ..

    I agree with you, If I could make a shed load of cash for doing next to nothing I would.

    I did praise them for making money from nothing.

    Still a cancer though and should be removed from the game.

    It's not all like that though especially in a bosman free transfer.. The player gets a massive signing on fee of which the agent takes a percentage that still applies when a club pay for a player.. They get a signing on fee.. Where it becomes murky I guess is if clubs pay the agents to get the player to sign for them..

    It's no different to a houseowner paying a fee to sell but offering me a backhander if I get a certain price for their house.. Given the choice of three houses to sell to someone I will push them onto the house that will earn me the most money . Any right minded person would do the same.. That said an agent can't force the club to pay the amount nor can they force the player to sign for a club they don't want to play for..

    Standard human nature is greed .. Like when people get gazumped on a house they are outraged then do the same back. Morals go out the window where money is concerned and there is **** all that will change that unless we all become communist

    Agents have no use sweats at all.

    They cause nothing but problems and the few god ones are all but gone now. they are leeches living off the success of others.

    The things agents claim to do can be done by dead rats more effectively.

    Agent's are ****s 100% and they should be cut out of the game, but the fees you are quoting there and pure speculation and based on no fact whatsoever.

    Well Fergie said the agent wanted £6million and he refused to pay it on top of the fee. I see no reason for him to lie about it tbh. Dont think chelsea are to fussed about paying it either, you have paid huge sums before after all.

    Its almost certain the case you paid £6million to someone for doing **** all <ok>

    If the players didn't employ them they wouldn't exist. You can't blame the agent for earning a very lucrative living. I would given the chance.
    It's almost certain the case that we paid £6m? Of course you would know that.

    You can believe you didnt as much as you like but deep down you know you most likely did.

    I mean Fergie said it was the case, a look on most chelsea boards shows many chelsea fans think you did.

    Is their a counter argument, one with a lower fee that you could bring to the table? I mean you all believe without a shadow of doubt that Rooney gets paid £250k so why not this?

    Its a damn site more believable after all.

    Players feel they need them although there is a trend of players getting rid. Hopefully it can continue until they are an endangered species.

    In 2009 United had paid 1.5million to agents.

    Chelsea 9.5million

    That was before they demanded the mental fees they do now to make a player go wherever the agent could get the most money.

    That's my point, I don't know and even if we did then why should I care or deny it.
    What I'm saying is that you don't know for sure whether we did or not. You're basing your thoughts on speculation.

    Im basing it on the words of our manager. If he says the agent wanted £6million then I would be inclined to believe he knows more than any paper and anyone else bar Chelsea FC, Hazard and his agent.

    Its ok though, the figures will come out, its a PL law!
