Me neither mate, I did say it was bizarre.
You'll get a lot of this now that players and agents have been away in the sunshine. All kinds of gossip will be flying around.
Just remember that the people telling you things are often repeating what someone else has told them. I keep saying it's just banter between agents/players/press etc, but some people see it that I'm making claims. I'm not. I got to know a fair few agents when I did some work for Ken Bates in Monaco.
Discreet, honourable and straightforward ....
