United lead agent fees

Really strange it was for the period from the beginning of October to the beginning of February.

We signed how many players in this period?

Are we now paying agents salaries?? 10M for no signings...

Barf, a United spokesman in the article mentions the renegotiation of player contracts contributing to the fees rising. Notably, De Gea's extension.

We pay too fecking much to these people, I'd understand if we had a squad filled with world class players. But we don't do we?

................

Having a squad filled with top players is irrelevant.

Why do you think we are actually top of this list. It isn't hard.

Take that back ARAB.

I did not read this properly.

We did not buy any players during this period, so WTF are we paying agents ten million for?

I can only assume the agents fees were paid after the summers deals had gone through.

I bet someone will see this as definite proof that Jose is coming.

And yet fans moaned when we didnt pay aent fees for Hazard and Lucas,and possibly a fair few more,under SAF.

But,still, it is rediculous but agents and their continual involvement in and around football has been a discussion for sometime now and it's only going to continue to get worse in the game.

Ridiculous amount of money though if no players were signed. We have effectively paid some people so that we can be allowed to give their clients a pay rise.

Their should be no agents fees really. It should all be paid directly to the player. The agent is their employee, not United's.

Outside of any transfer window there shouldn't be any need to pay agents fees anyway. If we are doing this, which we clearly are, then they are clearly being paid too much if we have to stagger payments over the course of the year.

Another thing;

If a large part of this £10m is going to DDG's agent for his new contract, then surely there can't be a £30m-ish release clause in his contract. Otherwise what was the point?

If someone activates the clause, we've paid out a big chunk to the agent already, paid DDG probably 1/3 of that fee in wages, plus we'll probably have to cough up a large sum as part of the rest of his contract.
