Yeah seems weird to me - would have thought all ITK should be mutually respected.
What I would say about POK is he pretty much always tells it as it is / what he knows, publicly, and if he doesn’t know, will say he doesn’t know. Never gives it the old ‘we’re in discussions with a player but I...
Textbook Skysports. My favourite this week was their articles saying ‘Aubameyang’ turned down Barcelona to stay at Arsenal, with zero quotes/evidence/hint they were remotely interested, then in the press conference ask Arteta to talk about ‘those links to turning down’ Barcelona!!
Incredible.
Lovely to get some poorly disguised cryptic ITK on the GOAT Messi weaving his way through the defensive traffic. Great news!! (Sorry @Rob !!)
Joking aside, Watkins would be a great option IMO, just what we need as a player with potential who’d welcome playing with/as understudy to Kane. Looks...
Yeah absolutely- I think the concept was still to operate a full service agency, but with a more ethically driven outcome from the revenues. I can only imagine the amount of stuff they must get involved in, particularly with the high profile players... doubt Bale buys his own Alice bands! ?
I...
Yeah very true, and would certainly offset potential future contract drop.
The main frustration for me (and yes of course an element of it having been the fact he played for us), is the feeling it’s a real waste not getting to see such a talented player who should really be in his prime...
Trix do you think there’s any remote market for a more ethical agency in some capacity? I saw an interesting proposition recently of an agency looking to build almost a ‘reinvest For profit’ as opposed to NFP, who were committed to grass roots investment, so would still drive strong commercial...
Ha! That’s certainly true..! I do think with him there’s a catalogue of similar examples of his stable being milked dry. Completely agree, don’t get me wrong, I doubt there’s a serious agent out there who wouldn’t do exactly the same!
I’m not sure it’s the players wallets he tries to maximise. I appreciate that goes hand in hand to an extent, but you’re right, there are a catalogue of players who he’s let drift where they potentially would have wanted game time and taken it at the expense of a wage cut, and he seems...
His, or his agent? The agent seems to be poison to me... though I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t want Bale to leave to play football, even if that meant taking a big wage drop. Oh wait... unless he gets a cut if his current ridiculous wages. ?
Corluka and long ‘turn around time’ feels like an obvious scenario in hindsight!! God love him, and his luscious locks, but I’ve seen cross channel ferries with tighter turning circles... ?
I like how positive he is on the ball - Confident in his touch to get his head up early and quite often plays good, pacy passes in to feet. Like the impetus he brings to play. Promising.
I’ll add to the likelihood of my rectum getting a dose from the stick, but I kind of agree with where you’re coming from... seems it was fine for a couple of folks to say £50mill striker, must be Ings, or must be Jimenez, then DCL got chucked in... but hey, don’t mention one more? Wasn’t you...
