That's what I mean, its absolutely bonkers. I always feel that United's strategy in the market is to persuade the agent before persuading the player. They definitely target agents who are after a big payday. Once they have won the battle with the agent, they are half way there. This is where players get their head turned, because agents fill their head with a load of shit and false promises just so they get the best deal they can. They have way too much power and it is time for a change. Time to stop letting agents dictate exactly what they want, teams like Utd drop their knickers for any agent who has approached them simply because they need to keep selling their faltering brand to star players and to take calculated financial risks in order to keep themselves ay the top competing.
It makes me wonder how a team like Utd in millions and millions of pounds worth of debt can maintain this sort of spending power, at some stage it could soon blow up in their faces big time.
