Link isn't loading for me. I assume he's already mentioning his client and other clubs or something?

A chat will be had about it no doubt.

Literally nothing wrong in that article - and its not even a recent quote.

The player's agent, Florin Manea said via Orange Sport: “I’m sure he’ll [Dragusin] impose himself. I hope he’ll do it quickly, [but] we have to give him time to adjust.

“It’s nice to make the most expensive transfer in the history of Romanian football. It’s exciting. That’s why I started this business, to be able to break records, to talk with big clubs."

Among those 'big clubs' Manea namechecked Newcastle as he added: "It’s an honour. I talked with Bayern in the last few days. Tottenham, Napoli, Milan, Newcastle. I talked to a bunch of clubs.”

The article is dated today, hence my post.

Why?

Seems personal.
I just don’t like agents talking too much in the press. They need to stick to talking to the clubs to get the deals done.
What happens in the next year if he start talking about his client needing to move to another club?
Charlie did something similar and the story was Kane told him to shut it.

This is all a matter of perspective.
Put yourself in his shoes. He’s from Romania.
He probably has little idea how other agents in other countries conduct themselves.
And who is to say what he’s doing is wrong.
He’s obviously worked his socks off to become an agent. And then he’s popping the corks celebrating the fact he got his client to the top tables and had some of the biggest clubs in football wanting his client.
It’s his time in the sun….and he’s not doing anyone any real harm.
It’s a big win and probably a glass ceiling he’s smashing in regards to what’s possible for Romanian football agents.
I imagine he’s being lauded by those back in Romania. And they are light years behind the development of the main European Leagues.

Just because he’s different (and proud, and excited) doesn’t make him wrong.
He’s on a learning curve. Don’t demonise him. Leave him be.

I don’t see how my opinion demonises him.
I think he has been too vocal in the press and it’s not just being vocal but talking about the player playing for another club/clubs before he even kicked a ball for his new club.

Wonder when he’ll get his first start especially now we are out of FA Cup also.
Tough break for him with Utd away days after signing followed by City at home. We’d obviously like to re-establish the cuti-vdv partnership now both are back but we have a game on Wednesday and it’s not a bad time to keep one of cuti/vdv held back and keep them fresh.

He is promoting his business having just made a good deal. I don't blame him at all.

I think he'll start Saturday. Early kick off after a Wednesday night game. I can see us resting Romero or VdV. Also they're a physical side so could use Dragusin for that one.

There are plenty of games left, I am sure he will get his chance
Yes... at the moment we need stability and find our rhythm.... and Romero and VDV need to be back to their best again... it's not a time to gamble with the defence. Especially because our midfield is shaky at the moment.

I think Dragusin will get some minutes here and there at the beginning.

You have to laugh really though. We go 2 months crying out for a centre back, we actually get one signed early in the window and he's on the fucking bench.

How is this promoting his business? I’ll admit I don’t work in marketing but this does seem like he’s promoting himself to be a blabber mouth.

Wondering if Ange ever goes three at the back, does anyone know?

We'd likely get more joy from our wide positions if Porro and Udogie could push right up in midfield for some games. Maybe against park the bus oppo?
