Raiola does an irreplacable job for the players. Serving their interests, being an object of hate from the fans. So its painted as if Raiola is the bad guy and his clients are just innocent lambs who he's stringing along whereas in reality he's always acting on instructions from his clients. The footballers use him to do their dirty work, while maintaining a clean image themselves. Its not surprising that he's paid as much as he is.
Yeah, that's right. He's very good at absorbing all of the negative attention and keeping the players out of the limelight. In that case, I can definitely see why he's sought after.
Provide competition for the young strikers? He was a CB and not a very good one at that, bizarre signing
He'll be a CB in training and allow our young strikers to develop their game more by facing him in training. Who knows, maybe we'll see him in a few U23 matches as well. With Will Fish out on loan and Mengi likely to leave, our next CB coming up is Björn Hardley, who has his first season of U-18 football last season. We don't really have too many CBs coming up right now, so McShane might get on the pitch more often than not, I think.
